Design and simulate the starship of your dreams! Command it in epic battles and manage your crew while exploring a dangerous galaxy. Play alone or with friends, test your ship in online PvP, and let your imagination reach for the stars!
Cosmoteer’s ship creation tools offer limitless possibilities, from how many crew’s quarters to add to how many engines and lasers to have. Every decision impacts its effectiveness in combat and how well it moves throughout each star system. Aspiring starship designers can take their ships to explore dozens of star systems, each with their own bounty missions to complete and enemy ships to turn to space rubble.
There’s more beyond the horizon throughout multiple game modes. Players can test their ship designing and combat skills in one of several PvP modes with friends. The campaign mode invites players to become the greatest “Cosmoteer” in the galaxy both solo or online with friends. For those not ready to battle other ships (or just want a more relaxing experience), try out the creative mode that’s solely focused on creating cool ships with unlimited resources.
Cosmoteer is now available through Steam Early Access, and will remain so for about one year, though that is open to change as the scope of the game changes.
“The current version of Cosmoteer is extremely polished and very stable. It will not feel "janky" like so many Early Access games, but you may find it a little light on content. Please see the "About This Game" section below for descriptions of the currently-implemented features. Note that during Early Access, it is possible that rare updates may break existing saved games from prior versions. However, we will try our absolute hardest to never break existing ship designs.”
“During early access, we are planning to add a ton of additional features and content:
... and more!”
- Carriers with Drones and/or Fighters
- Boarding Enemy Ships
- Hinge Joints (transforming robot ships!)
- New weapons and other ship construction modules
- Additional mission types and content for Career mode
- Additional multiplayer PvP modes
Key Features:
- Design awesome starships using intuitive ship creation tools that are easy to learn but hard to master. Fully customize your ship's shape and floor plan, choosing where to place individual modules including weapons, engines, hallways, and crew's quarters. Your ship's design is key to its survival, and every decision you make will impact its performance in battle. Easily share your designs with others through the Steam Workshop, Forums, and Discord.
- A ship's crew is its lifeblood. Numbering from half-a-dozen to a thousand or more individually-simulated people, your crew will pilot your ship, operate its weapons, and carry munitions. How efficiently they operate determines how well your ship will perform in combat. Your crew are autonomous but you can optionally customize their behavior with specific roles and job priorities.
- Command your ship or fleet in real-time tactical battles. Combat is physics-driven, explosive, and immensely satisfying. Each module can be individually targeted and destroyed, and whole ships can even break apart into multiple pieces. Target an enemy's weapons to eliminate its offensive capability, destroy its shields to lower its defenses, or go for the kill by taking out its reactor.
- Become the most famous "Cosmoteer'' in the universe by battling A.I. ships, taking on contracts for factions, earning loot, and upgrading your own ship while exploring a procedurally-generated galaxy, alone or in online co-op with friends. Then test your ship design and command skills online against other players in multiple PvP battle modes. Or let your imagination fly free in the Creative Mode where you can build whatever you want with unlimited resources.
- Still want more? A powerful modding framework and Steam Workshop will keep Cosmoteer constantly feeling fresh with new player-created weapons, modules, and other enhancements.
Cosmoteer is in development for PC (Steam).
