Fractured Space is a team-based space combat game where two teams fight epic battles in massive capital ships. Combining the intensity of a shooter with the big picture thinking of a strategy game, Fractured Space offers a new frontier in tactical combat. Players can earn credits to expand and upgrade their fleet, with a wide variety of ships across numerous classes and manufacturers to choose from.
Edge Case Games, formed from the team behind Strike Suit Zero, has committed to an open development ethic in bringing Fractured Space to life for PC, working in step with its growing community by sharing early assets, prototypes and project plans while listening to players every step of the way. Founding community members are already contributing to the game’s development as they play and comment on early builds of Fractured 6Space in private playtests.
Fractured Space’s Phase 3 update boosts action & game speed and can be downloaded for free.
The new update features a tighter Conquest 2.0 game map to encourage more direct confrontation, makes resource mining more impactful with new drone ships that can be shot down to reduce enemy resources, provides more help for new players with audio Base Commander tips, gets players back into the action faster with shorter respawn rates and much more.
While the free-to-play game continues to emphasize strategy, the new action-oriented changes take into account player feedback for “less flying around and more fighting!” As such, closer quarters maps for the game’s three-lane Conquest mode bring ships nearer the action at all times—without reducing the importance of team tactics or the ability to defend team bases.
The team’s commitment to player satisfaction go beyond core game changes. Edge Case’s live operations focus also provides new player events and rewards on a weekly basis, including 30 day rewards. Next up, starting on April 13th, is a “Credits Rampage” where if the player community earns 100 million credits, all contributors will be awarded a unique Pioneer skin, with a unique Colossus skin arriving if players hit 200 million credits. Other recent events include the Unique Fleets Tournament that began March 25th on Razer Arena, log-in rewards with Legendary Captain Jingles, based on YouTube personality Jingles, and Super Space Bowl XLXX, which pitted US player vs. the rest of the world with free crew pods on the line.
Other updates include the ability to fly any ship in solo vs. AI mode for more comprehensive, free battle testing before purchase, tougher and more strategic AI captains for bot play, a crew level up system for more comprehensive ship customization and other improvements.
Complete update details can be found in the Phase 3 update patch notes.
Fractured Space is currently available for PC on Steam.
