About the game
Perihelion: Rogue Orbit is an arcade space combat roguelite where your best shots come from how you fly.
Choose Your Vector
Lock a target, control range, and work the angle until your guns have a clean shot. The key is transversal velocity: how quickly a target moves across the line of fire, and whether the guns can keep up. Cut across enemy fire to break their tracking. Match your target’s movement to create the perfect firing solution, then commit before they do the same to you.
Good Flying Hits Harder
Clean direct hits build Overdrive, stacking damage and fire rate as long as you keep flying well. Finish an enemy with an Overdrive hit and Shield Surge boosts your shield recharge, giving you a chance to carry that momentum into the next fight.
Fit For The Fight
Build your ship from weapons, defences, and utility modules. Heavy guns hit hard but struggle to track fast targets. Defensive modules keep you alive but leave less room for firepower. A fit that dominates at long range can unravel the moment something fast gets underneath its guns. A close-in brawler has to get under enemy guns without starting a fight it can’t finish.
No Build Survives First Contact
Runs last around 10–20 minutes, with reshuffled sectors each time. Clear sectors, scan anomalies under fire, neutralise priority targets, and destroy hostile structures. Fit, launch, make mistakes, learn the angles, and come back sharper on the next run.
