About This Game

FLAKRIG is a 2D retro sci-fi extraction tower defense game where holding ground is only half the battle.

MASSIVE INSECT SWARMS

Defend your rig against clouds of tens of thousands of flying alien insects sweeping across the sky and diverse landscapes. Every bullet, flak shell, and beam counts when the sky turns black. Stack the bodies of tens of thousands of bugs while securing resources that will upgrade your defensive capability on the next run.

TACTICAL DEFENSE & ORDNANCE

Buy, position, and upgrade specialized turrets and emergency ordnance before touching down. From rapid-fire miniguns to screen-clearing airstrikes, balance raw firepower with tight operational budgets.

DRILL, SURVIVE, EXTRACT

Drop onto hostile planets to extract high-value resources. You don't win by killing every bug, you win by keeping the drill intact and extracting before you are completely overrun. Reinvest your profits, upgrade your hardware, and chart a course for deadlier, more lucrative worlds.

OPERATIONAL SCALE

  • 42 Planetary Missions: Progress through increasingly volatile planetary drop zones with unique terrain chokepoints and swarm behavior.

  • 13 Specialized Defensive Turrets: Deploy diverse defensive hardware. From rapid-fire miniguns to heavy flak batteries and high-yield energy beam arrays. Upgrade each tower you buy using unique tech trees and blueprints.

  • 8 Tactical Ordnance Strikes: Call in screen-clearing emergency support when your defensive lines redline.

  • 6 Hostile Insect Classes: Adapt your defenses against swarms ranging from hyper-dense light fliers to heavily armored hive breaches.
