About Major Havoc (rev 3)
Navigate vector-based space stations and planetary surfaces to combat automated Vaxxian robots. Players switch between high-speed space combat and precision platforming to destroy enemy defenses. This hybrid shooter requires mastering both flight controls for ship maneuvering and gravity-based movement to survive the various environments guarded by the remnants of the Vaxxian Empire.
