eXoSpace Combat Engineer

eXoSpace Combat Engineer combines the gridless spaceship building of Reassembly, the intense combat of Nova Drift, and the unpredictable hyperjump encounters of FTL.

Using a fully gridless, intuitive snap-and-rotate designer, you balance weapons, thrust, energy and armor, use advanced mechanical parts like pistons and hinges to build transforming warships, or install hangars to deploy swarms of custom-designed drones.

Take your custom vessel into Bounty Hunt mode, navigating asteroid storms, pirate ambushes, and random encounters as you evolve your ship from a basic drone into a true dreadnought to survive intense, bullet-hell boss fights.

• Mission-based game loop: complete missions to increase in rank and build even bigger ships to hunt more dangerous targets.

• Gridless spaceship designer that lets you easily snap parts together in any angle, allowing you to quickly try out new designs or upgrade your ship.

• Design your own drones and deploy swarms of them from your hangars.

• Intuitive engineering constraints: balance thrusters, weapons, energy and armor to create an effective warship.

• Bullet-hell boss fights: each mission ends with an epic phased boss-fight. Find weak points while dodging projectiles.

• A fully-featured sandbox allowing you to build any ship, create your own faction, and share it with a click on the Steam Workshop. You can even build your own boss!

• The Galactic Arena: face design and piloting challenges ranging from 1 vs 1 drone skirmishes to cruiser battles.

• More than 600 different ship designs to discover, including many community creations.

• More than 200 parts to build your ship with, including powerful faction-specific weapons.

• 5 playable factions with their own tech tree, powerful unique parts, and crew.

• And more is added in regular updates!
