Strap in, pilot. You are humanity's last hope. Deep within the metallic guts of an enemy superweapon, a single vulnerable point offers a sliver of a chance. Welcome to X Trench Run, a high-octane thrill ride that puts you in the cockpit of an advanced starfighter on the most important mission in the galaxy. This is pure, adrenaline-fueled arcade action. You'll blast through a deadly, twisting trench, dodging laser gates, mowing down defensive turrets, and outmaneuvering enemy fighters. It all culminates in a heart-pounding final assault on the station's core. Your reflexes will be tested, your nerve will be shattered, but glory awaits the pilot brave enough to fly the trench.
Just when you mastered the trench, a new threat emerges! The Nemesis Wing Update introduces elite enemy squadrons that actively hunt you down within the narrow corridors. These aces fly unpredictable patterns and fire seeking missiles, turning your bombing run into a desperate dogfight. To counter this, we've added a new "EMP Blast" power-up. Collect three of these to unleash a shockwave that temporarily disables all turrets and enemy fighters, giving you a precious window to push forward. This update adds a whole new layer of reactive, seat-of-your-pants gameplay to every single run.
Your fighter's controls are designed for precision and rapid response. Mastering them is the first step toward victory. The fate of the fleet rests on your shoulders.
Focus on staying alive first and taking out targets second. A successful pilot knows when to dodge and when to shoot.
Let's just say if you've ever wanted to be a rebel pilot taking on a galactic empire's ultimate weapon, you're in the right place. X Trench Run is a loving tribute to one of the most iconic action sequences in cinema history. We wanted to capture that specific feeling of a high-stakes, claustrophobic attack run, and deliver it as a pure, uncut arcade experience. It’s a core fantasy for any fan of grand space adventures.
Don't get greedy. Your primary mission is survival. Focus on your flight path and memorize the placement of static obstacles. It's often better to fly a clean line and dodge a turret's fire than to risk a collision while trying to shoot it. Think of it less as a shooter and more as a high-speed obstacle course, where your reaction time is paramount. If you enjoy that kind of intense reflex challenge, the fast-paced dodging in Geometry Rush: Hyper Dash will be right up your alley.
The final stage is a true test of skill. You can no longer just dodge. You must actively target and destroy the four laser cannons protecting the central exhaust port. Circle the core, using the structures as cover, and pop out to take shots at the cannons one by one. Once all four are destroyed, the port will open. A single, well-aimed shot into the core is all it takes to complete your mission and save the day.
It's easy to learn but difficult to master. The controls are simple, but the increasing speed and density of obstacles and enemies provide a steep but fair challenge. It rewards practice and pattern recognition. Each failed attempt teaches you something new for the next run, which is the hallmark of a great arcade game, much like the timeless classic Asteroid.
Mission accomplished, pilot! Your heroics will be sung for generations. While you're waiting for your medal, you can find your next sortie right here. We have a massive hangar full of flight simulators, space shooters, and other high-speed action games ready for you to explore. Your next great adventure is just a click away.
