Overview
Description

Armada puts you in the cockpit of a customizable starship, traveling to diverse planets for trade missions and tactical assaults. The game blends classic shooter action with RPG‑style upgrades in an open‑world sci‑fi setting. Originally a Dreamcast title, Armada now offers single‑player and split‑screen co‑op on PC, letting you face an ever‑growing alien threat while managing ship upgrades and cargo runs.

Galactic Arms Race is a top‑down 2.5D action game that blends classic shooters like Star Control with action‑RPG elements reminiscent of Diablo. Its unique weapon evolution system learns from player preferences, generating ever‑more personalized firepower. The game supports both solo play and massive online sessions, offering up to 32‑player co‑op and PvP modes, all on PC. Developed and published by Evolutionary Games, it delivers an indie‑driven sci‑fi experience for shooters who crave dynamic combat and endless replayability.
