About Gravitators
Gravitators is a twin stick shooter game where you pilot ships and complete mission objectives to secure the future of humankind. Defend the Earth and travel through the galaxy to repel a relentless alien invasion.Inspired by classic games like Thrust, Gravitar, Asteroids, Solar Jetman and others, Gravitators unshelves this old genre and overhauls it into modern times, while keeping the genre's trademark features: maneuvering through tight spots while carrying heavy objects, fighting enemies and preserving fuel.
Each Gravitator ship has unique piloting controls and distinct weaponry.Flying each one completely changes the game experience, as the variations in thrusting, rotation controls and weaponry require alternative combat strategies.
Mastering all 4 Gravitator ships is already a challenge on its own.
Travel throughout the Solar System and the Milky Way. Missions will take place on Earth, the Moon, asteroids, planets, exoplanets, outer space and even wormholes and black holes!Don't let the battle prevent you from admiring the scenery though: it's all beautifully done in Low Poly Art style, featuring an original soundtrack that will immerse you into all these locations.
There is a huge variety of mission objectives: escort nuclear weapons, destroy enemy structures or bases, rush to save civilians from a doomed city, hack enemy terminals, collect samples, retrieve objects from exploding bases, chase escaping enemies, rescue human prisoners, steal enemy machinery, protect important targets, and many more!Experience gravity, but in its full mind-bending extent: pulling your ship down, up, left and right. Or no gravity at all, forcing you to thrust into the opposite direction to slow down!
Missions will sometimes have clouds or gases that obstruct your view, underwater sections that will slow you down, and pitch black areas that hide lurking enemies. There are many, many obstacles and enemies that will try to stop you from completing missions.
Exploring the battlefield can unlock hidden objectives and rewards.
Every mission has 12 awards for pilots to achieve. Specific awards will unlock one of the 30 Power Ups and 30 Perks available to aid you in battle.Power Ups can increase your damage output, add effects to your weapons, increase your speed or hull, improve your ship armor and shield, or add certain useful abilities. Choosing the right power up for your mission can make a huge difference in its outcome.
Perks permanently increase the stats of your ship or other human objects and structures.
True to its genre, Gravitators is a difficult game. Scenarios are unforgiving and mistakes can be deadly. Missions will challenge your skills and reflexes.If you've never played this kind of games before, you should probably start the game in EASY and learn the ropes. Contrary to many games today, EASY mode is actually very challenging as well. And don't worry: you can switch mission difficulty at any time, your progress won't be affected by it.
On the other hand, if you're an experienced pilot looking for real challenge, HARD has been specifically tailored for you.

Saving captured human prisoners, blowing up alien fortresses with nuclear weapons and stealing to learn about alien technology in order to be better equipped to take those enemies down. [h1]Controls[/h1] There are 4 ship types in the game that have their own different controls but this is depending on your chosen control scheme. Modern controls are for those who prefer the fuss free of controlling each ship in the same manner, Classic controls are for those who want a challenge to have each ship with their own different controls. Using an Xbox controller, left thumbstick for movements, right for the direction you’re facing, Right trigger for shooting, left for shield, X and Y for different bomb types and B for interactions. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2664456384 [h1]Tutorialisation[/h1] The game does tutorialisation well.

Screenshots don’t do it justice. Sure, the game’s art department is two-dimensional and generic, but there are a few elements that push the game up to the enjoyable tier: Diverse missions and amazing map that marks every enemy, point of interest and bonuses. This allows you to approach the mission without rushing in blindly. Each mission has the same twelve challenges you can complete to unlock perks. Additionally, one challenge per mission has a special mark that unlocks even more bonus when completed. Unlimited lives even on the hardest difficulty and you can activate checkpoints at set spots. The only time you can fail a mission is during specific mission like escort or when there’s a time limit. You can build up your arsenal and replay old missions if you skipped any of the challenges. But what I don’t like are the secondary missions that involve towing an object through narrow corridors. These are hell. One little bump and the object goes up in flames. The towing beam and physics are so unreliable that even one small correction sends the object flying towards the nearest wall.1 found this helpful

Waited for this game for about 6 month,and it cost that. Very dynamic game with interesting gameplay. 10/10.1 found this helpful
Wow. This game reminded me of my childhood, when my dad let me play on his smartphone about the same game! The game itself looks much better with such graphics and new weapons.1 found this helpful
Fantastic game! I am very surprised that I was interested in this game. Usually I just pass by similar games, but Gravitators just super. An interesting 2D indie game about space is very impressive! I advise you to play, you will not be upset :)
