VergeWorld is a procedurally generated roguelite combat racer that combines fast-paced action with unique retro esthetics.

VergeWorld is a retro-fuelled fast-paced roguelite combat racer in which players fly through procedurally generated canyons, shoot enemies, gather resources, and complete challenges. It mixes high replayability with the nostalgic retro feeling of PSX-era 3D visuals, pixel art story screens, 16-bit tunes, and a synthwave soundtrack.  

In the distant future, on the inhospitable planet Gh2040-B, mankind engages in one thing it knows best - war. You are Nix, a rebellious member of the ruling class who wants to trigger a change in the Kingdom. Hidden behind a mask, you steal an experimental airship called Icarus and run to the edges of civilization to find and join the Revolt.

Destroy your enemies, fly low to boost your engines, and reach Frontier outposts to refuel, upgrade your airship, and find the next challenge.


A playable demo is now available during Steam Next Fest (June 13 - June 20).

VergeWorld started as a fan-made retro project developed for Amiga and Sega Genesis, curently free to download. Their creators are involved in the making of the new PC game while still working on the full retro versions.

Key Features:

  • Procedurally generated levels
  • High-speed combat racing with third-person view bullet hell fights
  • Airship’s highly customizable arsenal 
  • 3 alien biomes to navigate
  • PSX-era 3D graphics with pixel art and a splash of modern inspiration
  • Nostalgic 16-bit tunes mixed with a synthwave soundtrack  

VergeWorld is coming to PC (Steam) in Fall 2022, with console versions planned for the future.
