Tactical depth

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.

Gravhounds

Co-op or multiplayer

A 1–4 player co-op action builder where your pack lands on hostile alien planets, builds and defends a base amid physics-driven chaos, and extracts with loot. Staying longer raises both danger and reward.

Shooting and gunplay

A first-person survival base-builder on an alien planet: extract resources, automate industrial production lines and fend off hordes of alien monsters, solo or in co-op.

Avorion

Strong character progression

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.

Shooting and gunplay

Sanctum fuses tower defense with first-person shooting: you build mazes of turrets, then join the fight yourself against waves of aliens. Especially fun in co-op.

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.

Metal Gear Survive

Factorio

Tactical depth

Stranded on an alien world, you grow a crude mining operation into a sprawling automated factory, endlessly optimizing belts, production chains and logistics. All the while you must defend it from native creatures angered by your spreading pollution.

Sanctum 2

Shooting and gunplay

A blend of tower defense and first-person shooting where you design mazes of towers and walls, then grab your guns and fight the alien waves yourself. It shines in four-player co-op, rewarding both smart layouts and sharp aim.
