Whisker Squadron: Survivor

RACE THE SUN developer Flippfly has announced Whisker Squadron: Survivor has left early access and launched for consoles.

The cat-themed sci-fi rail shooter is now available in its big 1.0 release for PC (via Steam), alongside its console debut for PS5 (via the PS Store).

Here’s a rundown on the game, plus a new trailer:

An intense roguelike shooter from the creators of RACE THE SUN, featuring a voiced cast of feline characters known as Whisker Squadron.

Choose your ship and outfit it with your weapons of choice, then take the fight to The Swarm, a robotic army of robotic bugs controlled by a shadowy corporation.

Chart a course through a dynamic galaxy map across 3 acts, making tactical choices along the way to turn your ship into a finely tuned bot-killing machine.

Each randomized run is an opportunity to fight through wave upon wave of Swarm bots while honing your skills, getting to know your crewmates, and learning more about the mysterious origins of Whisker Squadron’s leader, Gigi. After each run, spend your earnings on permanent ship upgrades and unlockable weapons.
