## What is Vesper Drift?

Fly with one thumb. Your ship fires automatically as you dodge enemy formations, choose upgrades in flight and reclaim the orbital gardens.

BUILD YOUR FLEET
Play an 18-mission PvE campaign across three sectors and face three bosses. Earn all four ships through play, from focused and piercing fire to wide volleys and converging cannons. Choose a starting module for faster fire, stronger armor or easier pickup collection. Spend earned Alloy on permanent ship upgrades.

CHANGE YOUR APPROACH
Campaign missions combine survival, interception and combat objectives. Choose weapon upgrades during a flight, chase three-star clears and retry without an energy meter or entry fee.

CONTRACTS AND ARCADE
Try one free contract each week from a repeating 12-week rotation. The complete archive contains 36 mission-and-rule combinations, with changes to fire density, speed, durability and more. This is a finite collection, not a promise of unlimited new weekly content.

The original Arcade, Daily Drift and Expeditions remain accessible. Ranked Arcade uses its own normalized rules: campaign upgrades and purchase advantages do not affect its scores.

OPTIONAL PURCHASES
Aegis is a permanent purchase for immediate access to the ship. Starts at level 3; higher upgrades are preserved. Its converging twin cannon, reinforced hull and repair after 18 seconds without taking damage help in PvE. You can also earn the ship by completing campaign mission 12.

Vesper Contracts Archive is a one-time purchase. It permanently unlocks all 36 contracts. It does not grant ranked advantages. The full campaign and all four ships can be played and earned without it.

Vesper Mastery remains a separate one-time purchase for its existing Arcade features. Previous purchases and eligible historical rights are preserved.

PLAY OFFLINE
Gameplay and local progress work offline. Purchases, restoration and online Game Center features require a connection. Progress is saved on this device, with no cloud synchronization. Restoring purchases restores verified purchase rights, not a deleted local save.

The App Store displays your local price before purchase.
