Vortica

Vortica is a 2D twin-stick shooter roguelite set across the solar system. You travel to hostile locations to rescue stranded civilians, neutralize alien threats and gather resources, choosing loadouts and crafting weapons and items to handle each mission. Runs take place in stations with changing conditions, including power failures that plunge them into darkness, radiation and facilities without gravity.

Missions and combat

You face waves of varied enemies, each requiring a different strategy. Fight with weapons ranging from rusty automatic rifles to high-powered plasma guns, or deploy automated sentry turrets. Massive bosses also await across the solar system, and after completing a mission you must reach your Vortal before it is too late.

Vortal technology lets you choose your route among different locations. Raids involve rescuing civilians, eliminating alien threats and collecting resources, with each run bringing different challenges.

Gear and home base

Find or craft more than 100 utility items, including jumping boots, traps and improvised explosives. Items can help repel enemies, grow resources or light dark, powerless stations. As you progress, you unlock more advanced gear and increase your carrying capacity. Finding new characters adds home-base options, such as improved crafting or new objectives.

Modes and co-op

You can play solo or team up with a friend in co-op. The game also includes Adventure, Survival and Custom modes.

Home base companions

A robot vacuum buddy and a cat are in your home base.
