About the Game

Ready to take Command?

In Orbital Command you are tasked with overseeing the expansion of an interstellar network powered by Dyson Spheres. Take over new systems one orbit at a time, using advanced weapon systems, scanners, and the occasional drone.

Space is big!

Our weapon systems are powerfully fast, but travel times must be taken into account. The key to success is leading shots for maximum effect.

How you expand is up to you.

Each system is filled with planets that can be Established and developed. By establishing planets, you hasten the completion of the Dyson Sphere.

But you are not alone.

Enemy forces are attracted to your presence and compete for the same resources. As you gather resources, enemies grow stronger and more aggressive. Allow them to amass too many resources, and they'll draw in a powerful boss that threatens everything you’ve built.

To succeed, you must balance expansion and defense:

  • Secure planets

  • Collect and manage resources

  • Counter enemy forces before they reach critical strength

Complete the system’s Dyson Sphere and continue to the next System, or stay and see how far you can expand.

Every System is different, challenging your strategic planning, spatial awareness, and ability to adapt under pressure.
