16 itemsAbout the Game
A drifting space ship wakes up due to unusual interference in space. Almost right after this, an unknown enemy attacks the ship. To withstand this new threat and reach the source of the signal, the ship’s command module activates an industrial fabricator, which you take control of.
Your tasks include constructing an energy grid, procuring resources, upgrading the ship and destroying enemies.
Every enemy type has its own peculiarities. They have their own strengths and weaknesses.
As you approach the phantom signal, you encounter missions that demand a strategic approach to constructing and defending your base.
The universe won’t reveal its secrets to the first person that comes along. You’ll need to travel a long and complicated path through multiple star systems to find the source of the signal.
Invite your friends and compete for the top spots while completing missions!
We use Steam Leaderboards and Steam Cloud to make this happen.
If you complete the game faster than us, get one of 52 achievements!
Trading Cards will be available in the game after Valve lets us activate them.
We’re also planning on releasing 3 DLCs for fans of the series and launching PvP tournaments ;-)
