Miner Wars is a 6DOF underground and space shooter played in a fully destructible environment and is a combination of single player story game and MMO.

As a player, you operate an advanced mining ship in an open world asteroid belt area. You dig kilometers of tunnels, harvest the ore, travel the solar system, fight your enemies and discover mysterious alien secrets.

Game play is led by an epic story and is a combination of a single/multi-player game, cooperative, or you against everyone.

The story will introduce you to many types of missions: rescue, exploration, revenge, base defense, theft, transportation, stealth, search and destroy, pure harvesting, racing or just flying around and destroying everything you see.

Miner Wars was originally set for a 2009 release, and was intended to be an "indie" released product. Keen Software House have however decided that in order to bring the full quality to the gamers out there we will push the release until the late 2010, and as such has decided to take the following steps in order to release a product that the community of 6DOF gamers deserve.

  1. We will start offering our game at a promotion pricing level that will be at roughly 1/3 of the final product price
  2. All the players that will buy the game at this promotion pricing will get a full game with no extra charge on the day of release
  3. Our promotion pricing will only be applied to the PC version of the game. Xbox360 release will feature a full game with future upgrades.
  4. All the players interested to participate on this model will receive a release in these steps:
    • single-player beta featuring some basic features and missions
    • improved single-player beta with more features
    • single and multi-player beta access with some basic features
    • single and multi-player full game with all the features set to the date of release
    • Stable flow of upgrades for their full game

Key Features:

  • 6DOF
  • Fully Destructible Environment
  • Single Player Story & MMO
  • Persistent open world - millions of km
  • 15 mission types: Revenge, Mining, Harvesting, Defending, Exploration, Rescue and more
