Solstice Chronicles: MIA is entering the final week of its Fig campaign less than $1,000 from its goal

Solstice Chronicles: MIA is the follow up to 2015's The Red Solstice, and it is coming near the end of its crowdfunding campaign on Fig. With just over a week to go, the game is within $1,000 of reaching its target goal of $30,000. To get there, it needs your help to raise awareness by checking out all that it has to offer.

Solstice Chronicles: MIA is a twin-stick shooter with tactical elements set in a sci-fi universe. Developer Ironward has revealed Survival Mode, which pits the player against waves of increasingly difficult enemies. While the game's shooting fits within genre conventions, what makes it stand out is its Drone mechanic, which serves as a core feature for combat during Survival Mode. For instance, if players set the drone to "Scout," it will leave your side and go look for supplies, thus making your fight more difficult. If you set it to "Taunt," it will lure in large numbers of weaker enemies.

Here's a list of game features courtesy of an official press release:

• Tactical, twin-stick shooter including two-player couch co-op.
• Story-based, 18 mission campaign branching from the events of The Red Solstice.
• Survival mode in which you decide when to EVAC, and when to push for bigger rewards.
• Customize skill-trees of four classes – Assault, Demolition, Hellfire, and Terminator.
• Upgradeable weaponry including shotguns, rocket launchers, flamethrowers, and more.
• Use your drone's abilities to aid in combat, manage threat levels, and scavenge supplies.

As of this writing, Solstice Chronicles: MIA currently sits at $29,105 with 7 Days and 18 Hours left to go. If you want to get in on the Backer Rewards, be sure to check out the game's Fig campaign here.
