Dark Gravity

Dark Gravity

Shoot, destroy, collect, craft and destroy even more! “Dark Gravity” is a fast-paced, low poly vertical shoot’em up game that features non-linear campaign mode with lots of enemies and bosses. Craft new weapons, upgrade your fighter and build an ultimate aerial war machine!

After the fifth world war, there was peace in the world. For over a decade, the Grand Alliance has been leading humanity towards a better tomorrow by stifling all dangers in the bud. For some time, however, there is suspicion of a new threat that cannot be ignored.

As a member of SAF forces, your mission is to take over the Shielton base, captured by unknown rebels. No one knows who they are and what they want. What’s worse, even IMC forces couldn’t drive them away from the base because of their advanced weaponry. Weaponry out of this world. But… are those rebels the main threat? Isn’t there anything bigger behind all this? No time for questions! You must stop them at all costs!

Gameplay mechanics are very simple - destroy all enemies and try to avoid every bullet… well, at least those which can be avoided. Your special maneuver allows you to dodge normal projectiles. Even if you get hit, you will only lose one extra weapon! However, watch out for powerful bosses! They can thorn you into pieces with their ultimate unavoidable attacks!

The story mode can be completed in a few various ways. Military operations are carried out on several fronts simultaneously. It’s up to you which path you will choose. From battles high in the sky, through military bases, underground factories, collapsed mines and abandoned laboratories, to secret Arctic research facilities and the interiors of unknown civilization artifacts - you must go through all of this several times to accomplish all missions.

Every difficulty level is different. Improving your skills and fighter will help you out at facing hard and insane mode bosses, as they don’t appear at easier levels. Enemy’s layouts will change as well as their shooting patterns. At higher difficulties, you will also meet enemies that you have not met before.

Collecting drop parts and blueprints throughout the missions will allow you to unlock and craft new fighters, weapons, and upgrades. However, remember that only playing at the highest levels of difficulty will allow you to achieve a pinnacle of technology. Uncover the crafting tree and develop unique power-ups!

This game had potential to be a fun little experience at a really nice price point. But nope. Too many problems for me to really enjoy it.

The controls are a bit odd but would work okay in theory. One of the trackpads lets you move up, down, left and right relative to where you’re looking, and the triggers move you forward or backwards relative to where you’re looking. The game consists of struggling with these controls in order to try and get through the hoops. Your controls seem to have to little influence that it’s just kind of frustrating. It gets even worse if you hit one of those damn yellow boost cans. Doing this blasts you off in a direction that you have no control of, and trying to influence the course of your boost seems to do nothing.

Nice space walking sim but it is a game so don’t expect the physics to be like space walking. You would fly off into space if there was no space “friction”. But gravity does effect you in the game. The graphics are very nice on my set up. You basically have to thrust from point A to point Z. The difficulty ramps up fairly quickly and gravitational forces come into play during your game time. When the levels are loaded you will be shown a brief cut scene and that part may make you a little VR sick. Focus on a fixed planet or star if this happens. But the actual gameplay space walking/running is just fine. Support this one. It is well worth the price, imo. Check out my YouTube page for VR gameplay. The video is old and I did not know the game well at the recording but overall I enjoyed it. Enjoy.
