About This Game

The belt is rich. The belt is hostile. You have six gun arms.

Gunmetal Orbit is a fast 2.5D space-mining arena roguelite. Pick your spacer, launch into the asteroid field, and survive escalating waves while your weapons fire on their own — your job is to fly: kite the swarm, dodge the bolts, crack the rocks, and scoop the ore before something else does.

MINE UNDER FIRE

• Ore is money, and money is guns. Pop asteroids, haul the chunks home, and sell at the dock — every run funds the next fight.
  
• The field fights back: shooters, kamikaze poppers, splitters, armored heavies, ore-stealing salvage scarabs, and gravity-well Magnetars that drag you off your line. Deep runs escalate — rock-phasing Hunters, Broodmothers birthing swarms, shielded Aegis Bearers you have to flank, and Disruptors firing thruster-slowing EMP.
  
• Every few waves the belt shifts sectors — amber Scrap Drifts thick with rock, electric Ion Storms, glittering Crystal Fields, Derelict Graveyards of wrecked hulls, and Radiation Belts that pay the bold.
  
• Boss waves draw from a rotating roster — crack the Siege Crawler between mortar volleys, or pin down the blinking Storm Herald. Hazard 5 ends against two at once.

BUILD ABSURD LOADOUTS

• Stack up to six auto-firing weapons from an arsenal of 28 — six SMGs screaming at once is a legitimate strategy.
  
• Level-up picks and the rotating Outfitter shop snowball damage, attack speed, lifesteal, drones, and dashes into a screen full of bullets.
  
• Combine duplicate weapons into higher tiers — tiers III and IV evolve how a gun fights: extra barrels, forking beams, orbiting blade swarms, deeper burns and freezes.
  
• Win runs to earn the arsenal: new spacers, prototype weapons, and relic tech unlock through your pilot feats.

GROW THE OUTPOST

• Secured waves earn station blueprints — sentry spires, refinery annexes, cargo drone hangars. Your dock becomes a base that fights and earns alongside you.

RUNS SHAPED LIKE YOUR SESSION

• Pick a mode — Standard, Endless, Mining Rush, or a challenge preset — and a hazard level 0–5: H0 is a quick patrol, H5 is a 30-wave campaign with mid-bosses.
  
• Death is real: a hull breach ends the run and archives it to your Service Record.
  
• Docking saves. Suspend anytime. Three slots hold three separate runs.

BUILT FOR THE DECK

• Gamepad-first twin-stick controls with native button prompts; keyboard and mouse fully supported.
  
• Native 1280×800, tuned for a locked 60 fps on Steam Deck hardware.
  
• A dubstep soundtrack keeps the belt moving.
