Backstory

The galaxy was once a peaceful place. Until one day, a portal opened up and from it poured eldritch horrors beyond one’s comprehension. The galactic governments responded by sending pilots to close the portal and rid the galaxy of this threat. However, all the men who have been sent have never returned. Will you end up the same way?

Eldritch Beasts

• Acursed Flesh
• These… Creatures are the most common ones you will come across. They are pretty pethetic by themselves but they can do some damage in large numbers.
• Shreiker
• This abomination has a nack for firing a spread of projectiles at random. Remain aware.
• Dead Eye
• Unlike the others, this thing prefers precision over blindly spitting projectiles. Keep moving to foil it’s aim.
• Chaos Breaker
• Whatever this creature is it sure isn’t reality. As a result, it’s actions are almost unpredictable. How do you survive them? Hide near the back, then start praying to whatever religion of your choice.
