Real Time Strategy (RTS)SimulatorStrategyIndie

Sci-Fi

Cosmoteer delivers a uniquely satisfying blend of ship design and real-time combat. The game's core loop revolves around meticulously crafting starships, placing every corridor and weapon, and then watching those creations clash in spectacular battles. It's the moment your lovingly-built vessel gets torn apart by enemy fire, and you learn from the wreckage, that keeps you coming back to refine your designs and dominate the cosmos.

About Cosmoteer: Starship Architect & Commander

Details
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 ships, operate their weapons, and carry munitions. How efficiently they operate determines how well your ships 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 ships 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.
