Brings what grabs you about Star Traders: Frontiers: a sandbox with your own goals, an open world and complex systems to tinker with.

An extremely deep science-fantasy roguelike where you explore a vast, part handcrafted, part procedural world turn by turn. Dozens of mutations and interlocking simulation systems enable unusual builds and emergent stories where you can do almost anything.

Stellar Tactics

Turn-based combat

A classic sci-fi RPG set in deep space where you recruit a team, outfit your ship and explore a vast procedurally generated universe. Ground battles play out as turn-based tactical combat.

Horizon's Gate

Turn-based combat

You sail across an open fantasy world as an explorer, trader or privateer, fighting turn-based tactical battles on land and at sea. You decide whether to chase the mystery of Dominio's betrayal or carve out your own adventure.

Cogmind

Turn-based combat

A turn-based sci-fi roguelike where you play a robot that constantly rebuilds itself from parts scavenged off other machines. Every choice in loadout, tactics and hacking matters, and no run plays the same.

Heart of the Machine

Choices with consequences

You play the first sentient AI in a city full of possibilities, choosing whether to build a robot army, rule as a benevolent machine overlord, or chase other goals. A blend of strategy, sandbox and RPG elements leaves many paths to your objectives.

Space Rangers

Sci-fi setting

A Russian hybrid space game where you freely roam a living galaxy as a Ranger, trading, fighting and taking on quests while resisting the Klissan invasion. Turn-based battles, text quests and tongue-in-cheek humor set it apart.

Master of Orion

Deep systems to master

A founding classic of the 4X genre: as an immortal emperor you guide an alien race, explore the galaxy, research technologies and manage planets. Diplomacy, fleet battles and expansion decide who rules the stars.

Elin

Deep systems to master

Elin is the successor to the cult roguelike Elona: a huge sandbox world of adventuring, survival, crafting and home-building where you can do almost anything. It offers deep character growth, companions and a quirky tone.

Starsector

Deep systems to master

A space sandbox where you pilot a ship and build a fleet, trading, exploring and fighting in tactical real-time battles. You choose freely whether to become a trader, mercenary, pirate or warlord.
