'Galaxy Heist' (ALL) Kickstarter Coming Next Week - Screens & Trailer

Galaxy Heist is an online space combat game that combines traditional space ship combat with first person shooters by giving players the ability to team up on a single ship and then board the ships of other players or teams.

Galaxy Heist is a space game that brings the world of large space battles into the word of close quarter first person shooters.  Each match players start out in space, on board a large ship with other players.

Once an enemy ship loses all power and becomes disabled, it’s free pickings for nearby enemy ships.  Any large ship can take control of one of their turrets, fire a tether over to them, and begin the boarding process. Pulling yourself into a disabled enemy ship will begin the server travel, effectively putting your team on a bridge connecting to the enemy ship.  The enemy players will spawn on their flight deck, ready to defend against you. The inside of every large space ship is different, offering unique strategies on how to get into the flight deck. 

Some of the interactive features inside each ship:

  • Blow out windows with a vacuum canon and watch the decompression rip nearby players out into space.
  • Interactive oxygen system that needs to be successfully turned on after decompression to prevent suffocation.
  • Interior engine cooling system that you should keep your precious limbs away from.
  • Lots of exploding components, including doors that can be blown open with C4 and explosive oxygen tanks.


Each large ship holds up to 5 players, and players have three main choices of activities when in space:

  • Pilot one of the large ships that’s holding other players
  • Control one of the turrets, firing cannons, bullets, and the boarding tether
  • Pilot one of the drone fighter support ships and act as a wingman for your team

“The players on my ship suck, I want to jump to another ally ship”

No problem! Use an escape to move between big ships and change teams during the space battles. 

Key Features:

  • A game focused on boarding other player ships during large space battles
  • Disable and board other ships by firing a tether from one of your turrets
  • Pilot big ships with friends or support them in smaller fighters
  • Take control of the turrets to lay down heavier firepower as well as tethering
  • Fight inside ships to take over and destroy the team from the inside
  • Use unique ship interiors to interact with the enemy team like blowing players into space and watching them suffocate
