Brings what grabs you about Gratuitous Space Battles: a sci-fi setting, tactical depth and a realistic look.

A VR real-time space strategy game where you command a fleet from your flagship's bridge, customizing ships and training captains to win sector battles.

Unstoppable Gorg

Lots of humour

A space-themed tower defense game where you place satellites in orbit around planets and moons and rotate those orbits to stop waves of flying saucers. Its tongue-in-cheek B-movie humor adds charm.

Particle Fleet: Emergence

Gameplay comes before story

A real-time strategy game where you design fleets of partially destructible, self-repairing ships and face the Particulate. Battles run on a large-scale particle physics simulation rather than scripted logic.

Gladiabots

Gameplay comes before story

You build your robot squad's behavior with a visual logic editor and then watch it fight automated arena battles on its own. The appeal lies in tinkering, testing and refining your strategy, including against other players online.

Defense Grid: The Awakening

Linear, curated structure

A classic tower defense game where you protect power cores from waves of alien insectoids. Smart placement and upgrading of ten tower types on fixed build pads, plus a dry-witted AI narrator, define the experience.

Nexus: The Jupiter Incident

Realistic visuals

A tactical real-time space game where you command a fleet through missions across the solar system as mega-corporations clash over a mysterious discovery. The focus is on fleet positioning, subsystem damage and mission planning rather than base building.
