A space roguelike where you pilot your ship through sectors, manage crew and resources, and survive tactical real-time battles. Every run brings new decisions, events and ship upgrades.

Hull Rupture

Economy and management

A base-management tower-defense roguelite set aboard a spaceship, where you coldly treat humans as resources while fending off alien assaults. Dark humor and questionable decisions define the tone.

FTL: Faster Than Light

Runs that play out differently every time

You captain a starship on the run, rerouting power, directing crew and making tough calls in pausable real-time battles. Every run is procedurally generated, brutally tense and often ends in glorious failure.

Hyperspace Delivery Service

Economy and management

A space management adventure where you name your crew and ship, juggle supplies, trade and fight off pirates and rogue robots to get your cargo to its destination.

Space Haven

Deep systems to master

A spaceship colony sim where you build ships tile by tile, manage air and power, and look after the needs and moods of a ragtag crew as you travel the galaxy in search of a new home.

60 Parsecs!

Runs that play out differently every time

You flee a nuclear strike into space with a small crew and must manage supplies, morale and tough decisions in a darkly funny retro-futuristic survival story. Random events make each run play out differently, often ending in surprising or fatal ways.

Stranded: Alien Dawn

Deep systems to master

A colony survival sim where you guide stranded survivors on an alien planet, building bases, managing needs and fending off wildlife and harsh weather. Emergent stories arise from your colonists' personalities and fates.

RimWorld

Deep systems to master

A colony sim where an AI storyteller turns raids, famines and your settlers' personal dramas into unique, often darkly funny emergent stories. Its deep simulation and per-colonist management make every run unpredictable.
