Solstice Chronicles: MIA is a twin stick shooter game developed by Ironward for Nintendo Switch. The game is set in a universe where Earth has been overrun by the STROL virus, and the remaining human colonies on Mars are threatened by a violent storm. Players control the difficulty of the game by managing their threat level through special skills.

In Solstice Chronicles: MIA, players take on the role of a corporate marine who is left behind enemy lines in a dead colony. With the help of an insurgent drone, players must fight against an army of murderous, mindless mutants to survive. The game offers a different approach to twin-stick shooters by adding tactical elements. Players must weigh the risk and reward of decisions that drastically change the threat they face. The game offers four classes to choose from, including Assault, Demolition, Hellfire, and Terminator, each with their own skill tree.

The game features fluid twin-stick combat, upgradeable weaponry, including shotguns, rocket launchers, and special Heavy weapons like the autocannon and flamethrower. Players can scavenge for supplies and upgrades or push forward, potentially unprepared for the enemies still to come. Solstice Chronicles: MIA is a challenging game that rewards players who prepare themselves for the battles ahead.
