Orbitals Overview
Orbitals is an intergalactic co-op adventure that blends 1990s retro anime aesthetics with modern 3D gameplay. Developed by the Tokyo-based studio Shapefarm and published by Kepler Interactive, the game follows the journey of Maki and Omura, two inexperienced but determined explorers on a mission to save their crumbling space station from a supernatural cosmic storm.
The experience is built from the ground up for two-player cooperation, requiring players to coordinate closely to pilot spaceships through asteroid fields, solve environmental puzzles, and navigate uncharted sectors of the galaxy.
