Nimbatus: The Space Drone Constructor

Runs that play out differently every time

You assemble your own drones from many different parts and send them through procedurally generated, destructible space levels. The appeal lies in tinkering and testing ever more inventive designs.

Subterrain

Lots to discover

A sci-fi survival game set in an underground Mars facility where you single-handedly manage resources, craft gear and fend off mutated creatures. Randomly generated levels and base upkeep create a tense, isolated atmosphere.

Wall World

Runs that play out differently every time

You climb an endless wall on a giant robot spider, mining resources below and defending against monster waves above. Permanent upgrades between runs create an addictive roguelike loop.

Shortest Trip to Earth

Runs that play out differently every time

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.

Empyrion: Galactic Survival

Sandbox with your own goals

A space sandbox survival game where you build your own ships, stations and planetary bases while exploring planets and deep space. Gathering resources, defending your bases and playing solo or with friends are at the core.

Cosmoteer: Starship Architect & Commander

Open world

You build starships module by module, from floor plan to weapons and engines, then take them into real-time battles and campaigns in space. Your design choices directly determine how well your ship performs in combat.

The Last Starship

Sandbox with your own goals

A starship simulation from Introversion Software where you build your own ship from hull, engines, life support, sensors and weapons, then set out across the galaxy. It is an early alpha, so this rating is provisional.

X3: Terran Conflict

Sandbox with your own goals

A vast space sandbox where you fly ships, build trading empires and factory complexes, and get drawn into conflicts between rival races. Freedom is huge, but the learning curve is steep.

Avorion

Sandbox with your own goals

A procedurally generated space sandbox where you build modular ships block by block and push toward the galactic core as a trader, mercenary or explorer. Ship building and freedom of playstyle are the heart of the game.
