17 itemsAbout the Game
eXoSpace Combat Engineer is inspired by Reassembly, Nova Drift and FTL. It is a mission-based spaceship building game with bullet-hell style combat.
Use an intuitive snap-and-rotate system to build your ultimate warship. Balance thrusters, armor, and energy systems, or use advanced mechanical parts like pistons and hinges to create transforming warships.
The spaceship designer is gridless, allowing you to snap parts together in any orientation, and has plenty of quality of life features.
Raise the ranks of the eXoSpace Combat Engineers by taking out bosses deep in dangerous areas of space. Each hyperjump brings you closer to your target. Each hyperjump brings a new encounter: an asteroid storm, a pirate ambush, or even a hitchhiker looking for a ride. Who knows what will happen next? You will need to evolve your ship from a small drone to a true dreadnaught to face all bosses.
Satisfying game loop: gather resources and tech to upgrade your ship. Complete missions to increase in rank, improve your crew and build even bigger ships in your hunt for the most dangerous of criminals.
Gridless spaceship designer that lets you easily snap parts together in any angle, allowing you to quickly try out new designs or upgrade your ship.
Intuitive engineering constraints: balance thrusters, weapons, energy and armor to create an effective warship.
Bullet-hell boss fights: each mission ends with an epic phased boss-fight. Find weak points while dodging projectiles.
A fully-featured sandbox allowing you to build any ship, create your own faction, and share it with a click on the Steam Workshop. Fight intense battles, and set up endless waves of invading enemies for complete chaos. You can even build your own boss!
Get challenged in the Arena: face design and piloting challenges ranging from 1 vs 1 drone skirmishes to cruiser battles. Or create your own arena and share it on the Workshop.
More than 600 different ship designs to discover, including many community creations.
More than 200 parts to build your ship with, including powerful faction-specific weapons.
5 playable factions with their own tech tree, powerful unique parts, and crew.
And more is added in regular updates!
User Praise:
"This game feels like Reassembly if it was designed as a game, first and foremost, instead of a shipbuilding sandbox."
“I like how here, I can quickly design something and experiment. I can iterate quickly and comfortably."
“This game is ingenious, amazing and AWESOME! Something that fills the gap between Reassembly, Cosmoteer and Starsector.”
eXoSpace is developed by Bas (@ Fantastimaker), a solo developer.
