Voxel Shooter

Voxel Shooter is a side-scrolling roguelite shmup for one to four players. You fight waves of defenders across alien worlds, alone or in local co-op, choosing weapons and upgrades as each run gives you a new loadout. Your planet is dying, and you have found a better one; its locals disagree.

Local co-op

Up to four players can play together locally. Steam Remote Play Together lets you play online with the same couch co-op setup.

Elements and weapons

Enemies resist their own color, so you can switch between Red, Blue, Green and Purple to exploit weaknesses and control the screen. Each element has up to three weapons. You can stack all three for a wall of bullets or invest in fewer weapons to raise their power to the maximum. Weapon upgrade variants change how weapons behave, giving you different ways to build each run.

Upgrades and combos

Between waves, you spend credits on more than 90 upgrades, including drones, dash boosts and shields. Keep your combo going to earn more credits, up to a x15 multiplier; taking a hit cuts the combo in half. You have only 2 HP.

Difficulty and Ascension

After each level, choose a difficulty modifier, such as more enemies, boosted elements or tougher waves. Modifiers earn Fame, which unlocks the final boss, so you can raise the challenge and face it earlier or play more safely while building up your loadout.

After clearing a run, you can start an Ascension. Its 10 tiers increase the chaos: every two tiers, the final boss transforms, and between those transformations it returns even stronger.

Bosses and runs

The game has seven hand-crafted bosses. Three pursue you through the run and grow tougher each time they reappear; at the endgame, you face a final boss that changes with your Ascension tier. Learn their patterns and exploit their openings. Runs are fast, with no downtime.
