After Wave: Downfall is an arcade shooter developed by 7 Raven Studios and released in 2022 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Set in a world overtaken by a catastrophic flood triggered by an invading force called Deathrix through a mysterious meteorite, players pilot battleships across 10 stages, facing waves of enemies and brutal boss encounters. Six distinct battleships are available, each with different abilities, and their systems can be upgraded to shape different playstyles. The game features multiple difficulty levels and an Extra mode that introduces additional ways to play. A local co-op option supports joint play, allowing two players to tackle the campaign together. Numerous in-game achievements provide further goals beyond the main stages. Visually, the game employs a 3D cartoon art style accompanied by detailed environmental and combat effects.
