Astra Vanguard: Riftfront
Portrait Space Shooter
$0.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Command your starfighter across four battlefronts, trade between frontier ports, and climb the new Game Center leaderboard with your best expedition score.
Astra Vanguard is a portrait space shooter built for fast, one-finger play.
Drag your starfighter through hostile fire while its weapons fire automatically. Collect upgrades, choose tactical abilities, and challenge powerful bosses on every expedition.
Enter Interstellar Trade from the expedition route. Buy and sell cargo across three frontier ports, plan fuel and travel time on a navigable star map, weigh low-, medium-, and high-risk routes, respond to unexpected encounters, and complete transport, rescue, and bounty contracts. Some encounters lead directly into SpriteKit battles before you can reach port.
