About the Game

In this game, you design your own spaceship. You have over 50 hull variants of different sizes and over 100 variants of installations: turrets, containers, living modules, boarding pods, amplifiers, power generators, armor, shield generators and much more.

Open World

.
Set out to explore the open world in the Rubezh star cluster. Here you will meet representatives of 15 factions and 13 intelligent races. Fight with them, trade or keep neutral - only your choice. Travel between more than 35 planets, explore nebulae, asteroids and anomalies.
AstroForge gives you complete freedom of action on the way to your goal. Fight or trade, complete missions or attack entire planets.

Unique combat system


Ships are made up of cells, each with its own level of armor and functional setup. Each cell is destroyed separately.
To win, you need to destroy certain cells of your opponent's ship or fulfill other conditions. You have several options:
  • Deprive the enemy of energy.
  • Destroy all gun turrets.
  • Leave the ship without crew.
  • Board the ship.

During combat, your guns fire automatically, but you can choose to target them: a specific cell or a type of cell. Use special skills to gain an advantage.
If you win, you get some of the equipment and resources from your opponent's ship, which you can sell or use to improve your ship.

Game Features:

  • Simple and clear interface, which is easy to understand. However, on high difficulty levels and in multiplayer you will have to try hard to win.
  • Single-player story campaign mode, where you have a goal and complete freedom of action. You can achieve it in any way you want.
  • Compete with other players in multiplayer. Earn money and rankings in different modes to progress.
  • The political and economic systems of the Rubezh cluster. Prices vary from planet to planet, factions can fight among themselves or be allies.
  • Hire crew on planets, gain experience in battles and evolve.
  • Complete missions for different factions, from courier deliveries to attacking entire planets.
  • The game is available in 17 languages.
