About the Game

SALVO is a real-time tactical combat simulator that puts you in fast-paced, cinematic and intense capital ship action. You can be outnumbered, but never outgunned. With the right maneuvers, the right loadout, and your mastery of tactics, you turn impossible odds into your greatest victories. Are you ready to carve a path through fleets of enemies and bend the battlefield to your will?

Go forth and unleash devastation, commander.

Fast-Paced Real-Time Tactics

In a grounded, hard sci-fi solar system with no shields or faster-than-light travel — only steel and human ingenuity prevail. Encounters in SALVO are lightning-fast and relentless. Position your units to maximize firepower, exploit enemy subsystems, and chain your abilities with precision to overwhelm your foes. Success rewards sharp reflexes, clever strategy, and a deep understanding of your units' capabilities. The battlefield is alive, and only those who think and act fast will survive.

Choose Your Path

  • Story Campaign - immerse yourself in a focused, narrative-driven campaign that explores conflict, politics and survival across the solar system.

  • Outlaw Frontiers - venture into the lawless zones in a procedurally generated experience where every encounter is different and every choice matters.

  • Instant Action - jump straight into quick, standalone confrontations for fast and satisfying combat.

  • Skirmish - test new ship builds, recreate epic fights, or challenge yourself against overwhelming odds? Fight your battles your way.

Master Your Flagship

Your flagship is more than a vessel - it's your ultimate weapon.

Do you want to fire enough missiles to blot out the stars, deliver long-range strikes that cripple enemies before they can react, or charge straight into close-range brawls where your guns tear enemies apart at point-blank range? Whatever playstyle you choose, your flagship becomes the invincible force that strikes fear into the hearts of your enemies.

Be Your Own Fire Control

On a battlefield thick with electronic countermeasures, you decide when, where and how to strike. High explosive barrages tear hulls apart, armor piercing warheads smash right through armored defenses. Each launch demands skill, timing, angle. Mastering your munitions doesn't just make you effective - it makes you unstoppable.

Epic Cinematic Battles

Every engagement in SALVO is a spectacle, with cinematic cutscenes that showcase the sheer destructive potential of capital ship warfare. Unleash your most powerful abilities and watch as space itself tremble under your firepower. Light up the void with torpedo barrages, tear through enemy hulls in a storm of fire and debris. Pull off last-ditch maneuvers and scrape through the burning wreckage of your foes.
