Your ship is your build. Put it together in the hangar from 50+ modules and enter the games: 9 districts, 9 bosses, one time limit - and beyond them, freedom. Run went sideways? Come back with scrap and build it better. 100+ upgrades, 30+ cores, countless builds.

About This Game

Play the Demo now for free.

Nion Forge is an action roguelite where you fight swarms of enemies above the streets of a cyberpunk city – in a ship you built yourself. Fast, arcade-style and hands-on: you're actually flying, not just walking in circles. A run to the fourth boss takes around 20 to 30 minutes. How much time you spend in the hangar after that is up to you.

Your ship is your build

Put it together in the hangar from 50+ modules and enter the games: 9 districts, 9 bosses, and beyond them, the way out. Run went sideways? Come back with scrap and build it better: 100+ upgrades, 30+ cores, countless builds.

Choose your own path

Upgrades are class-based: you steer where your run is heading instead of hoping for the right upgrades. More modules means more options in the pool – not more junk in your picks.

The loop

Enemies drop scrap. Scrap becomes modules in the shop. Modules become your next attempt in the hangar. And if top-down feels too relaxed for you: switch the camera and fly the chaos in third-person.
