Project Vanguard

About this game

YEAR 2189. THE VOID BREACH OPENED OVER SATURN'S ORBIT.

A tear in space-time. From it came nothing—and that nothing had a hunger.

Earth's fleets fell in seventy-two hours. The breach expanded, consuming sector after sector: the Crimson Nebula, the Emerald Abyss, the Singularity Horizon. Now, there are no reinforcements.

Project Vanguard is the last protocol.

Project Vanguard is a frantic, neon-soaked bullet hell roguelike where you pilot humanity's final experimental chassis against infinite waves of geometric anomalies. You aren't fighting a living army; you are fighting the Void’s immune response. Every wave is a pulse. Every boss is a node. Survive the horde, collect XP, and draft devastating builds from a deep pool of upgrades to push back the abyss.

There is no victory. There is only survival. And you are the last line.

KEY FEATURES

  • Six Experimental Chassis: The Vanguard protocol requires adaptation. Pilot unique ships tailored to different survival tactics:

    • Vanguard: The reliable standard. A balanced assault craft equipped with a relentless Seeker Swarm.

    • Interceptor: A lightning-fast machine built to trigger a rapid-fire Turbo Frenzy.

    • Bomber: A heavily armored bruiser that dominates the arena with explosive payloads and a Carpet Bomb.

    • Phantom: Built for hit-and-run tactics, utilizing Phase Shift for stealth and precision strikes.

    • Juggernaut: Trades mobility for absolute destruction, anchoring down to unleash a screen-melting Plasma Beam.

    • Wraith: A sinister craft that uses a Soul Tether to drain vitality directly from the anomalies.

  • Draft Your Arsenal: With over 20 unique upgrades per level, no two runs are the same. Chain together Void Rounds, Homing Missiles, Chrono Fields, and Crit Overloads to create screen-clearing synergies.

  • Sever the Nodes: Each wave cycle culminates in a brutal boss encounter. Survive long enough to face off against massive, node-level anomalies like the armored Construct, the high-speed Viper, and the colossal Void Leviathan that hunts you across the entire arena.

  • Permanent Meta-Progression: Death is just a reset. Spend your hard-earned credits between runs on permanent upgrades to boost your damage, speed, greed, dash cooldowns, and starting firepower across every future run.

  • Adaptive Synthwave: A pulsing, procedurally-driven soundtrack—featuring tracks like Neon Overdrive and Void Protocol—that shifts and evolves with the chaos on screen, keeping your adrenaline redlined.
