About the Game

Phobos Down

Phobos Down is a twin stick shooter stripped down to the bare essentials with focus on smooth controls and satisfying action.

You're a lone corporation contract worker sent to salvage lost cargo on a distant uncharted planet full of hostile lifeforms. Mow down waves of unique enemies earning access to better equipment and customize your weapons to suit your play style.

There is a player with three guns, swarms of enemies that need killing and a weapon upgrade system made as simple as possible. You can play unique randomized missions or weekly challenges where everyone play the same game and compete for the highest scores.

Features

  • Procedurally generated missions. Every run is different

  • Slower-paced strategic shooter action

  • Play one mission at a time. Pause at any point. No time limits

  • Weekly challenges with online high scores

  • Designed specifically with Steam Deck in mind
