Rising Heat introduces a unique blend of horde survival action and physics-driven flight, combining momentum-based movement with strategic deck-building upgrades. Players take on the role of the Captain, piloting customizable ships through chaotic battles against swarms of insectoid cyborgs and challenging multi-stage bosses.
Gameplay and Visuals
The game features fast-paced combat where precise tackles and dynamic movement allow players to chain attacks and dodge enemy projectiles. The physics-driven flight controls create a constant sense of motion as players bounce between hazards and foes. The cockpit’s limited inventory space requires tactical choices when integrating, upgrading, and fusing hacks for varied builds each run.
