Void Breach

Void Breach is a twin-stick space combat roguelite built around procedurally generated missions and permanent progression. You fight through alien forces, grow stronger with each kill and build weapon synergies by combining abilities, upgrades and modifiers. Missions have multiple phases and objectives, including destroying targets, defending, escorting, hacking and surviving. Sessions are described as lasting 5–20 minutes, with the feature list also citing 5–10-minute missions.

Combat abilities

You unlock 12 abilities as you progress and assign any five to your loadout. They include ways to charge through formations, pull enemies into a gravity well, strip shields, teleport through danger, heal by draining nearby enemies, trigger chain explosions, scout and return to a marked position, disorient enemies, increase their damage vulnerability, launch seeking blades, deploy a decoy and knock enemies back.

Void Surge

Kills, combos, grazing enemy fire and boss damage charge your Void Surge meter. You can choose among five ultimate abilities and switch between them during a mission:

• Orbital Strike: bombard a large area, dealing 50% of each enemy’s maximum HP.
• Void Storm: summon a growing maelstrom that strengthens with every kill.
• Time Fracture: freeze time, deal heavy damage and shatter frozen enemies for bonus damage.
• Singularity: pull enemies into a black hole before it detonates.
• Phoenix Burst: become invincible and fire in all 16 directions; it can also resurrect you from death.

Chrono Rift is a separate toggle that slows time to 30% while you move at near-full speed, letting you weave through incoming fire and line up shots.

Enemies and rivals

The game features more than 20 alien factions with different combat behaviours. Hivemind ships split into smaller copies when damaged; Magnetic enemies deflect your projectiles; Symbiotic pairs share damage, and killing one enrages the other; Berserkers grow faster and deadlier as they take damage; and Crystalline ships break into lethal shards when destroyed. Other factions include Swarm, Void, Ancients, Phantom, Inferno, Spectral, Neural, Overcharge, Nano and Mimic. Their traits include overwhelming numbers, phasing through attacks, large health pools, invisibility, fire trails, conditional untargetability, adapting to your playstyle, chain lightning, rebuilding and copying your weapons.

Enemies range across seven tiers, from Fodder to Legendary threats with 1,500 HP and 2.5x damage. The Nemesis System brings back enemies born from your deaths as distinct rivals in future runs.

Progression and upgrades

During missions, you can level past 100, gaining damage, health, shields, speed and critical-hit bonuses with each level. You can also collect up to six orbiting Satellites, which provide passive modifiers such as extra damage, armor, attack speed, projectiles, XP or energy cores. Taking damage can cost you a Satellite. Temporary power-ups and consumable items from the Hangar Store offer additional tactical advantages.

Between missions, you spend Energy Cores on more than 25 permanent upgrades, each with 50 levels. These cover weapon power, firing rate, critical hits, extra projectiles, hull and shields, movement, energy, Satellite protection, and ability cooldowns and durations. Upgrades can multiply weapon damage, raise critical-hit chance to 55% with 3.5x multipliers, and let you begin higher missions at a level of up to 50. Progress carries between runs.

Mission systems

Kill streaks build combos that multiply your score and charge your ultimate faster. Status effects include burn, shock, slow and corrosion. The Hangar Store lets you craft consumables from materials gathered during missions.
