About This Game

Your ship. Your arsenal. Your path through the horde.

Astrum Vanguard is a 2D space roguelite with auto-firing weapons and bullet-hell combat. Navigate alien hordes using thrust and rotation, gather resources, and develop your build between waves. Survive 20 waves and their bosses with an arsenal you put together yourself.

• Evolving attack patterns — turn single shots into spreads, volleys, and more

• Over 50 items for distinctive builds and powerful synergies

• 20 enemy waves per run, with boss battles on waves 5, 10, 15, and 20

• 8 different bosses, each with its own attack patterns

• A shop between waves to buy weapons, upgrade your arsenal, and refine your build

• Ships unlocked through challenges that encourage new ways to play

• Direct ship control using thrust and rotation, while your weapons fire automatically

Turn a single shot into an entire attack pattern

Combine lasers, plasma, rockets, mines, projectile weapons, and drones. Upgrade your weapons through five tiers: single shots become spreads, and heavy projectiles become full volleys. Protect your immediate surroundings with orbiting weapons or clear groups of enemies with explosions.

Specialize in one weapon category to benefit from its bonuses, or combine different weapons to cover your build’s weaknesses.

Every shop visit changes your next battle

Will you invest in a new weapon or improve your existing arsenal? Buy more firepower, additional healing, or an item that brings your strengths together?

Earn extra credits from critical kills or strengthen your weapons with the wealth you’ve saved. The right combination turns individual upgrades into a build that works together.

A different ship opens up new possibilities

Choose your ship and a suitable starting weapon. Different stats, weapon slots, and unique abilities change which equipment is most valuable to you.

Unlock more ships through challenges and experiment with new combinations.

Your weapons fire. You find the way.

Rotate your ship, engage your thrusters, and find gaps between enemies and incoming fire. Keep your distance for precise attacks or dive into the thick of battle.

Face growing alien hordes and bosses with distinct attack patterns. A strong build gives you options — the right flight path keeps you alive.
