About the game
You join a ship crew fighting through missions in a galaxy threatened by hostile machines. You steer through space battles, take a gunner's seat and keep the vessel supplied with ammunition and repairs. At the next stop, you leave the ship to explore a station or planet, shoot robots and carry useful parts back aboard. A jetpack and grappling hook help you cross the gaps outside.
Up to four players share the ship online, with no fixed character classes. You can swap from flying to fighting fires, then join the others on foot. Choosing components and arranging the power grid changes what the ship can do. Missions have changing elements and feed lasting equipment upgrades. It suits friends who enjoy both crew jobs and shooting, with quieter stretches between emergencies. The game remains in Early Access.
