What the developers have to say:

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“A few months to a year.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“I plan to add more variety to the game, additional enemies, new upgrades, and alternate terrain. Possibly a score leader-board if there is interest.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“All features from the "About This" section are implemented, please refer to it for details.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“I expect the price will stay the same.”

About This Game

Kinetic Storm is a top-down arena shooter where you destroy waves of enemies and select upgrades at the end of the wave. It is a roguelike, so enemies and upgrades are randomly generated, and every play-through is radically different as you discover synergies between your weapon, skill, movement, and defence choices. Running on a custom Vulkan game engine, it is both visually stunning and highly performant with responsive low-latency controls.

Powerful weapons





Before each run select your primary and secondary weapon. Focus on upgrading one, or carefully choose useful upgrades for each.

Useful skills


Manage your energy levels to make best use of your skills. A dash at just the right time can save your ship, or destroy masses of enemies ... if you have the right upgrades.

Unique enemies


Enemies are carefully designed to each have distinct abilities and defences. Some are deadly up close, others from far away, or only from some angles. Which will you destroy first?

Deadly bosses


Challenge massive and terrifying boss enemies.

Endless upgrades


Your reward for survival is ever increasing power and destructive ability.
