Perihelion: Rogue Orbit

Perihelion: Rogue Orbit is an arcade space combat roguelite where your best shots come from how you fly.

Choose Your Vector

Lock a target, control range, and work the angle until your guns have a clean shot. Cut across enemy fire to break their tracking. Match your target’s movement to create the perfect firing solution, then commit before they do the same to you.

Good Flying Hits Harder

Clean direct hits build Overdrive, stacking damage and fire rate as long as you keep flying well. Finish an enemy with an Overdrive hit and Shield Surge boosts your shield recharge, giving you a chance to carry that momentum into the next fight.

Fit For The Fight

Build your ship from weapons, defenses, and utility modules. Heavy guns hit hard but struggle to track fast targets. Defensive modules keep you alive but leave less room for firepower. Every fit changes how you approach range, movement, and target selection.

A strong fit can fall apart in the wrong position, and a rough fit can survive with sharp piloting.

No Build Survives First Contact

Runs last around 10–20 minutes, with reshuffled sectors each time. Clear sectors, scan anomalies under fire, neutralise priority targets, and destroy hostile structures. Fit, launch, make mistakes, learn the angles, and come back sharper on the next run.
