Voidrave

Voidrave is an arcade bullet-hell game set inside a vast entity mistaken for space. On a routine purge run beyond the edge of the charts, you find wrecks arranged in spirals and warm ice covering the First Fleet tombs. As you fly deeper, sector logs and transmissions reveal the fate of the fleet that came before you.

Waves and bosses

The campaign spans 100 waves of enemy swarms, elites and mini-bosses. Wave mutators can change the rules mid-run, while logs and transmissions between waves build the story. Every five waves, you face a boss with its own attack patterns and phases, including the Watcher, the Twin Pulse and the Coiled God. These bosses are described as organs rather than invaders, and the campaign ends with the Void Heart. Kills are recorded in a library of dozens of bestiary and codex entries documenting enemies and bosses; some of the story is hidden in these entries.

Ships and upgrades

You can choose from four ships, each with its own weapon loadout. Between waves, an upgrade shop offers drones, weapons, shields, critical hits and VOID OVERCHARGE. Every 10 waves, you choose one of three mutations, such as vampiric rounds, ricochet, chain lightning or gravity wells. These upgrades and mutations can combine into different builds from run to run.

Game modes

• BOSS RUSH: Take on all 20 bosses back to back, without waves in between.
• DAILY RUN: Play one attempt per day on the same seed as everyone else, with results tracked on a global leaderboard.
• WORLD BOSS: Fight one giant boss whose health pool is shared by every player worldwide. Your damage contributes to the shared total, and the boss has enrage phases.

Co-op for two players

Play the campaign with a second pilot online or locally on one screen, using one controller and one keyboard. A tether between your ships cuts enemy bullets when you stay close and charges a shared meter. Once it is full, both players must activate their specials within half a second to clear the screen. The phase shield covers both ships, while bombs and overdrive draw from a shared pool; each ship keeps its own special. If you are downed, you drift as a wreck until your partner flies over to revive you.

Arcade challenges

The game includes graze scoring, combo multipliers and a leaderboard that records every result. Three difficulty settings range from first-timer friendly to absolute punishment.
