Nodeshifter is a modern, roguelike arcade game that pits you against an invading horde of Kryptorians in the single most deadly offensive launched against the forces of humankind — through the computer! So get your power gloves out because you’ve been approved to pilot a state-of-the-art Nodeshifter digital vessel. Each Nodeshifter comes fully equipped with a rapidly orbiting Node capable of summoning destruction at a scale the likes of which has been heretofore unseen. Ok so maybe the Nodeshifter isn't exactly that advanced… and yes maybe the weapon systems are a little crude but don’t worry along the way you will pick up a number of upgrades to make smashing aliens easier. Sure, it may be in pixels, but that doesn’t make it any less metal. To become a Star Defender pilot takes guts, skill, and bravery. But if you are selected to be a part of this elite alien fighting space force then your name will be etched in the stars of valor forever. Power-Up Your Play Style: Acquire unique and game-changing Enhancements for your Shifter that will dramatically alter your strategy and play style for the run. Try out new combinations for punishing results. Even Loss is Progress: Pick up Saalt from your fallen foes to purchase Cassettes that will give you a competitive advantage in future runs. These power-ups are permanent upgrades that can be chosen to better fit your uniquely preferred play style and preference. New Paths of Destruction Every Time: Every level of Nodeshifter is dynamically generated so that your pixel carnage is fresh every time you play. It’s so timeless, it’s practically undead! A Unique World to Explore: I mean, “explore” is a loaded word here, but there’s a story and everything. And it kinda rules? Think you have what it takes to beat the hardest game known to mankind? Join the journey of a galactic lifetime and download Nodeshifter today!

Descend into the void. Gather strange equipment, shape your build, and see how far it can carry you. Voidle is a dark idle RPG built around automatic combat and the decisions you make between battles. Choose a Warden, Stalker, Occultist or Revenant, then follow your own path through the Skill Graph. Combine skills, passive bonuses and Mutations as you push toward the next Milestone Boss. Fill the Bestiary. Every creature in the depths is inked and animated, from the smallest blob to the eleven Milestone Bosses. Meet a creature to add its plate to your Bestiary, and defeat enough of them to fill in its page. Make your equipment part of the strategy. Enchant useful finds, salvage the rest, experiment with corruption, and brew potions for your descent. Artifacts and Ascension Relics open more ways to build. Prestige to earn Skill Points from new depths, then pursue Ascension for another layer of progression. Explore the Compendium whenever a rule needs explaining. Press and hold any dotted term for a quick explanation, then follow it to the full entry. For a different challenge, start a Weekly League save. Each week brings shared generated classes, skills and a Skill Graph, with its own depth leaderboard. Return after time away to claim Away Rewards based on your build. Adjust your equipment, try another route, and descend again.
