Customize Your Loadout

Pick the ship the suits your play style and outfit it with a weapon of your choice. Every ship and weapon has it's own unique skill tree, allowing you to alter and improve the way they play via changing abilities/passives and gaining new ones.

Higher difficulties can unlock prime boss variants for an even greater challenge and further rewards.
Limitless Upgrade Combinations
