Terminus offers the player five game modes. Each mode is distinct, giving the player a virtual smorgasbord of options to explore and enjoy. The following is a list of these modes and their descriptions:

Campaign:
Single player or Multiplayer!

Select Campaign Mode to play through a rich storyline unfolding in real time. This storyline is a balance of many unique elements, including scripted scenarios, four career paths, and free-form missions. And beneath the storyline, the Terminus universe still thrives and reacts. You can either play Campaign Mode by yourself or with up to seven of your friends!

Free Mode:
Single player or Multiplayer!

Select Free Mode to play in the Terminus universe without the storyline. Do what you want to, when you want to do it. You can also play Free Mode by yourself or with as many friends as your computer can handle!

The Training Academy:
Single player only.

Attend the Training Academy if you’re new to space or just brushing up. While you’re there, you’ll receive five easy lessons to master space flight in Terminus.

The Gauntlet:
Single player only.

Select the Gauntlet to jump right into the action! This mode sports multiple arcade levels to provide you a pure Terminus dog-fighting experience. The Gauntlet’s also perfect for reinforcing those lessons you learned in the Training Academy.

Melee Modes:
Multiplayer only.

There are multiple Melee Modes for you and your friends to play. Fight in a free-for-all in either Deathmatch or the infamous Cage Match. Or form teams to play Zero-G Hockey. The choice is yours.
