Dive in to a stripped down sci-fi world to mow down swarms of monsters

Phobos Down is a simple, fast-paced sci-fi shooter focused on tight controls and exciting action. You play as a company employee sent to a faraway, perilous planet to retrieve lost shipments, but you’ll face dangerous creatures along the way.

The game lets you customize your weapons as you fight through endless waves of enemies, earning points and unlocking new equipment. I especially appreciate the simple, direct visuals – it’s just you, your guns, and constant action, all thanks to randomly generated levels.

Plus, the game offers fresh, random missions and weekly challenges where players compete on equal footing for high scores. Considering the developer spent four years building it – and still has plans for more enemies and equipment – it seems like a game worth trying.

Phobos Down is out now for Android devices! You can download it from the Google Play Store. Unfortunately, an iOS version isn’t available yet, and we don’t have a release date for it. Keep checking back for more news!
