About Perihelion: Rogue Orbit
Perihelion: Rogue Orbit is a tactical 2D space combat roguelite about building a ship, reading the battlefield, and surviving hostile missions where movement matters as much as firepower.Build a ship, take it into hostile sectors, and survive a chain of short combat encounters.Combat is built around range, angle, and tracking. The line you take into a fight changes how exposed you are, how well enemies can track you, and whether your own weapons can stay on target.Good flying means reading those relationships quickly. Knowing when to hold range, when to cut across an approach, and when to commit is the all that stands between you and the abyss.Do you burn away before you get pinned? Break across their path? Commit to a kill and risk taking too much damage? The right fit helps, but the right position keeps you alive.Runs are built to be short, usually around 20 minutes, with reshuffled arenas and encounters each time.
Features

Was so focussed on minimizing angular velocity that I accidentally relearnt spiralling into your intercept target from first principles, 10/10. Phenomenal feel to ship combat, the game encourages you to optimize your attack runs but good target management helps forgive slower approaches. Clear influences from Eve Online but has managed to make the gameplay much more engaging! Cutomizations/fits are a bit limited right now but offer some variety to your runs. Core gameplay is super slick so I'm excited to see how this gets built on with future development.3 found this helpful

Eve online meets Asteroids. Good Fun2 found this helpful
Satisfying space ship combat with little nostalgic hints of EVE Online, what else can I say? My first 2 hours had me saying: "AMBUUUUUUUUSH!" "ONE MORE SECTOR..." "NOOOOO I GOT GREEDY" Devs definitely have their fingers on the pulse, it sure scratches an itch.2 found this helpful
Really good fun, quick to pick up. Could do with a little more variety in missions/waves. Definitely scratches several gaming style itches.1 found this helpful
