About the game
Choose your strategy.
Place weapons and support systems on a hull that can be blown apart. Launch missile barrages, fire railguns from a distance, or send fighters ahead. Combine the equipment you find to try a different build each run.
Slow time. Make the call.
Slow the battle to choose your next move and activate abilities. Jump behind an asteroid to block a salvo, or pull enemy ships together with a gravity anomaly.
Both sides can shoot down incoming missiles. Your attacks have to get past the enemy’s defenses, too.
Upgrade your ship.
Between battles, expand your hull and make room for new weapons and support systems. Choose which parts of your ship to improve before the next fight.
During a run: Field Doctrine. Choose research branches, unlock weapon blueprints and improve the systems your ship relies on.
Between runs: Legacy Matrix. Unlock more starting equipment for future attempts. Some weapon archives are earned by defeating specific enemies.
An admiral, an engineer, a cyborg, and a coffee maker share your journey. Your choices shape their stories and loyalties.
Four builds in action
A missile battery faces Raiders in a bright nebula. A railgun cruiser strikes an enemy hull. Carrier fighters engage Union ships above a planet, then plasma cannons fire at Swarm ships in a dark nebula.
