About the Game

We thought we had a billion years before our Sun would die… We were wrong.

Take the helm of a generation starship and voyage into the dangerous unknown in search of a new home for the human race. EARTHLESS is a sci-fi roguelike deckbuilder with grid-based tactical combat from the studio behind innovative space games Homeworld 3 and Hardspace: Shipbreaker. Draw your own path through the stars, defend your people, and keep the hope of humanity alive. Our salvation will be forged from the wreckage of many starships…

…Just how many is up to you.

CAPTAIN ON DECK

Shoulder the heavy responsibility of saving humanity by keeping your ship — and each soul on it — alive as you explore ever-changing and treacherous star systems. No stretch of space will greet you the same way twice, so your leadership must evolve with the shifting perils of your environment. Agonize over crucial decisions, learn from your harrowing mistakes, and explore ever further into the vast unknown.

ENGAGE!

Space travel is perilous. It will be up to you, Captain, to defend your ship from hostile alien lifeforms and cosmic hazards. Adapt to the hand you are dealt and discover powerful new combinations of cards, consumables, and artifacts each run. Engage in tactical grid-based combat to ensure your crew will live to fight another day.

BURDEN OF COMMAND

Each new voyage pairs you with a unique crew of officers who carry out your orders. Carefully weigh their distinct personality traits and needs to inspire them and unlock powerful bonuses — or disregard them at your peril. Every captain needs their loyal crew — can you win the hearts of yours?

FIND A NEW HOME… TOGETHER

Embark on your mission alone or with a friend in co-op. Each player controls their own ship and takes their turns simultaneously, opening up a whole new world of strategy. Coordinate deadly assaults, access co-op exclusive cards, and parley passionately over the best course of action.

AN EVER-EVOLVING JOURNEY


Your voyages through the stars will never play the same way twice. As Earthless continues to develop in Early Access, you'll be the first to experience new content and features including:

● New story chapters: scout deeper into the cosmos, survive terrible new threats, and find answers to the ultimate question: Are we really alone in the universe?

● New factions: Each new faction will add new ship abilities and a new pool of related cards, opening up all-new strategies and ways of playing.
