Our take on Orbital Combat
The focus on quick matches between two selected fighters keeps the format direct, but limits the stated play structure to those battles against AI. Variety comes from choosing among 8 characters and 7 arenas.
What is Orbital Combat?
Orbital Combat is a spacecraft battle game with eight selectable opponents, including vehicles associated with SpaceX and NASA.
Matches occur in seven locations, such as rocket launch sites, drone ships beneath descending boosters, and the Martian Outskirts. Instant Action supports a brief offline contest against computer-controlled opposition, with two fighters chosen before the match. Players can combine different spacecraft and arenas to create direct rocket-versus-rocket battles.
