What is IONFALL?
IONFALL is a free first-person arena shooter set on a space station and a moon platform, made with the open-source Godot 4 engine. Matches are quick, from 5 to 20 minutes, in Free-for-all or Team Deathmatch. Bots fill the empty places, so there is always a game, whether you are on your own, on a home network with friends, or playing with someone on the other side of the world.
Two arenas
Meridian Station, a compact station deck with close quarters, and Halcyon Spire, an open moon platform with long sightlines.
Six weapons
Pulse Rifle, Burst Rifle or Scatter Gun as your primary and the Mag Pistol as sidearm; fight for the Rail Sniper and Arc Launcher power weapons. Grenades and melee too.
Fluid movement
Sprint, slide, double jump and mantle over ledges. Scope in on any gun for a tighter spread.
Bots that fight back
Four difficulties from Easy to Insane, for practice on your own or to fill multiplayer matches.
LAN and online play
Host a game on your network, or share a 6-letter invite code to play over the internet with no port forwarding. Up to 16 players on a PC host.
Made for phones and PCs
Touch controls with a movable layout and aim assist on Android; remappable keyboard and mouse on PC; full accessibility options.
