With a game that may own the record for ‘longest game to release after the first trailer’, DjArcas’ Mothership Forever first made itself known to the world in – get this – 2009! 16 years later, and the game is ready to set sail into the wide open world of Xbox consoles, showing off a unique twist on the twin-stick shooter genre.
Adapt or Die!
Now available on Xbox consoles, in collaboration with ProjectorGames, Mothership Forever is an action-packed Geometry Wars-esque twin-stick shooter in which you control a tiny but mighty scoutcraft, and battle against the Mothership that is dominant across the black ether.
Your goal is to make use of eight different weapons in order to survive against the Mothership until the Alliance Fleet arrives, at which point you can consider your mission a success.
That’s 30 minutes of survival, after which you’ll be a very tired but very relieved player indeed!
The twist? DjArcas has coded in a mighty fine piece of intelligence, in that upon death the Mothership will respawn, and will adapt its gameplay around how you defeated it last time around. Taking into account your average distance from the Mothership, the weapons used, and much more, the Mothership will evolve, and as such you’ll be required to make use of another weapon within your arsenal. Clever!

So, do you have what it takes to battle it out against the Mothership, and live to tell the tale? There’s only one way to find out, as Mothership Forever launches on Xbox, to go alongside 2023’s Steam release.

Mothership Forever Description
As tiny scoutcraft, alone in deep space, you encounter a massive mothership. Upon destroying it, you learn that it will respawn, having learned your fighting style and weapon tactics, and will have evolved to defeat you. Unable to run and unable to win, you must survive until the Alliance Fleet arrives. Featuring 8 varied weapons and an infinite number of strategies, Mothership Forever will challenge you to continually adjust your playstyle.
