Indie publisher Ratalaika Games and Viridino Studios & Forsteri Studios are pleased to announce the release on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Microsoft Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and Nintendo Switch on March 15 for Orion Haste. With its fast paced action, prioritizing intense run-and-gun gameplay, it’s a must-play for both seasoned R&G enthusiasts and newcomers to the genre. Orion Haste blends classic elements reminiscent of titles like Contra with contemporary quality of life improvements.
Check out the Orion Haste Trailer:
Orion Haste, the game, transports the player to a distant future, casting them as a human soldier stationed at the Beta-Orionis Military Base (BOMB). Situated within the gravitational pull of the blue supergiant star Rigel, in the constellation of Orion, the base serves as humanity’s stronghold in the area. Upon arrival at the station, the player discovers that it serves as the primary oxygen facility in Orion — an essential resource for human survival in the constellation. However, the station is under attack by the Ximpeti, an alien species residing on a rogue planet known as Xim.
The Ximpeti seek to sever humanity’s lifeline by destroying the oxygen supply, thereby eliminating humans from Orion. Aware of their inferior military capabilities compared to humans, the Ximpeti resort to underhanded tactics in their bid to claim the constellation’s riches. Their ultimate goal is to conquer Orion’s resources and subjugate the Aethra, forcing them into servitude.
Thus, the game unfolds as the player embarks on a mission to eradicate the Ximpeti threat from both the Aethra station and their home planet of Xim. Only by neutralizing this threat can the future of humanity in Orion be secured.
Orion Haste offers a challenging experience without the frustration of limited credits or restarting from the beginning. For instance, players have the flexibility to postpone the completion of certain levels and revisit them later to progress further into the game. The game was also crafted with modern hardware in mind, delivering levels and boss fights optimized for widescreen resolutions.
Additionally, players can expect action-packed segments, featuring hoverbikes and even a shmup sequence aboard their B.O.M.B spacecraft as they travel to the planet Xim. With over 20 common enemy types, 2 mini-bosses, 7 formidable bosses, and environmental hazards, not forgetting speed run mode and a lot more to feast your eyes and ears!
