Airlock Arena: The Game That Sucks

About This Game

Become the ultimate galactic cargo smuggler

Welcome to the thrilling and dangerous occupation of galactic cargo smuggling. In Airlock Arena, you’ll take missions from cargo smuggling, to kidnapping, to assassination, while traversing dangerous sectors of the galaxy. You’ll be responsible for acquiring, protecting, transporting, and ultimately delivering precious cargo to the far reaches of space. Avoid the Authorities, look for opportunities, and ultimately make a profit while doing whatever it takes to complete your mission. Do you take a morally reprehensible mission for more profit? Play it safe with easier missions that pay less? You choose the path, then follow it to glory or destruction. The chance to make a fortune is real, but the odds of dying are even higher. This is no game for the weak.

Game Features

• Highly strategic 2-D action “rogue-like-like” gameplay on spaceships and planets for endless hours of replayability.
• Full physics gameplay including simulated vacuum physics! Smugglers quickly learn that air can be their best friend or their worst enemy.
• Randomly generated destructible/repairable ships. Each playthrough requires different strategies to accommodate different ship layouts.
• Tons of random event combinations to challenge your skills and decision-making abilities while under pressure.
• Work together to restart broken ship systems such as engines, blast doors, and artificial gravity generators, when they inevitably fail.
• Single player and Cooperative contracts both locally and online, so you can play together on the couch, or across the net. Die alone, or die alongside your friends in a universe full of unknown terrors.
• Unique items, including the bolt pistol, repair gun, energy blade, grapple beam, and jet pack to help deal with the dangers of space in whatever way you see fit.
• Unexpected cargo. Space is full of all kinds of trash and treasures. Sometimes the best cargo is what you find along the way! Take a perilous spacewalk and see if you can’t reel some of it in!
• Biomatter absorbing respawn platforms. Get the lifeless corpse of one of your friends back to a respawn platform, and see them spring back to life, ready to die once more!
• Increasingly difficult contracts to keep even skilled players on their toes. You’ll be yelling at Airlock Arena for hours to come.
• Competitive deathmatch and capture the cargo modes to test your mastery of the game mechanics against your friends.
• If you do well enough, you might have enough wealth to challenge the Galactic Authority itself, and free the citizens from their tyranny once and for all!
