  • Summary: Welcome to Venaris, a small planetary system where an underground criminal organization known only as the Syndicate continuously terrorizes its citizens while corrupt planetary administrations and system forces are ineffectual at bringing the organization down.

    Three unrelated individuals    Welcome to Venaris, a small planetary system where an underground criminal organization known only as the Syndicate continuously terrorizes its citizens while corrupt planetary administrations and system forces are ineffectual at bringing the organization down.

    Three unrelated individuals have decided to take matters into their own hands: Katherine "Kath" McKenzie, a mechanical engineer who spends most of her time tinkering with spaceships; A.J., a disgraced ex-detective who was framed for a crime the Syndicate committed; and Maxine "Max" Speed, a professional aeroracer.

    After running into the Syndicate's dirty business, each vows to take down the organization and find their leader, a secretive and shady figure that goes by "The Chairman", and bring him to justice.

    Flightpath is a top-down shooter with a unique story driven mechanic. As you battle your way through waves of enemies, you will be presented with two possible paths to move forward. Depending which path you take, the story changes, and with it how the game itself unfolds, which missions follow up, who will you meet and how the ending changes.    … Expand

    Flightpath: Adventures in Venaris is a genuinely entertaining shoot 'em up that you can spend hours with and still discover more you can do in its distinct campaign and clever customisation component. It may not be arcade-like but I still recommend it to any shmup fan.

    We weren't fully sold on Flightpath after we finished the story but the Endless Mode hints at the game it probably should have been all along. Either way, this is a competent and enjoyable shoot 'em up but maybe not the most exciting or polished.
