Our take on Astral Gun
Its focus on local duels keeps the play centered on people sharing a session, but that choice leaves out online competition and solo campaign play. The high skill ceiling also makes the matches less suited to groups looking for a relaxed, low-pressure pace.
What is Astral Gun?
Astral Gun is a local multiplayer game for 2–4 players, built around space duels.
Players choose among 14+ experimental weapons, with combinations that shape each play style, and over 1,000 ship designs. Matches take place across 14 maps in a minimalist art style. The game emphasizes competitive play and a high skill ceiling, with multitasking as part of the challenge. No controllers are required; two players can play using just a keyboard.
