About the Game

Hardpoint is a top-down arcade shooter where you control a platform of four guns, each one able to upgrade into specialized roles along a shared skill tree. Each gun on the platform can be individually customized, and selecting upgrades of the same class will grant additional abilities and bonuses.

  • Guns will automatically fire towards the cursor. Upgrade stats like fire rate and aim speed to defeat the increasing amount of enemies.

  • Upgrade guns along the same tree(s) to specialize their abilities and unlock unique abilities and bonuses. Or, upgrade along different trees and diversify your approach to clear each level.

  • Defeating enemies will drop power cells that can be used to restore energy and purchase upgrades.

  • Survive 15 arenas to win. Each arena is less than one minute, but each one will be harder than the last.

Featuring

  • 60+ skills. each one granting unique abilities and bonuses

  • 16 classes, each giving stat boosts and modifiers to your platform

  • Soundtrack by glaciaere
