What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We love considering and implementing ideas from players, and we will use Early Access to both expand and improve the game. Early Access provides a great way of involving players in the development process, and we are looking forward to working with the community to make a better game together.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to remain in Early Access for a year, but that could change depending on how the design develops with player feedback.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We plan for the full version of ZeroSpace to have additional content influenced by community feedback during the Early Access period. We plan to include additional missions for both the campaign and coop game modes, new skirmish maps supporting up to 4v4, and new factions, co-op commanders, and mercenaries. We're also planning on expanding the galactic war, allowing it to have even more meaningful interaction between different game modes and play styles. Players will also be able to explore additional events and character interactions during the campaign, and experience the full cinematic story of ZeroSpace.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version is fully playable featuring 13 campaign story missions alongside interactive dialog with your crew. It also includes 10 co-op missions with procedural generation of enemy factions and compositions and objectives. There is also a skirmish mode that will allow you to play vs. AI against 8 AI difficulties, or against other players. There are 4 available main factions, 6 mercenary factions and 10 heroes to choose from - totaling over 90 unique units and heroes.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We might increase the price during the Early Access period as additional content and features are added.

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We love involving the community in development we're active every day on Discord and the Steam forums. We want to hear all suggestions, bug reports, and player feedback in order to make a better game together.”

About This Game

ZeroSpace is a hybrid sci-fi RTS / RPG game that allows you to play as the commander of The Protectorate, a galactic force dedicated to securing humanity’s place in the galaxy. The Orion sector is locked in a vicious power struggle between many alien factions, all armed to the teeth and ready to fight to the death to achieve space dominance. Harness the latest warfare technology and recruit seasoned shock troopers and specialist crew members. Navigate through political turmoil as you make the hard choices needed to guarantee humanity’s place among the stars. But really the choice is yours. Don’t like the Protectorate? Pick a different faction, and wipe your opposition off the face of the galaxy.

Wage Intense, massive scale conflict

Deploy infantry, artillery and air weaponry to dominate the battlefield. Engage in strategic buildcraft and troop deployment either solo, with a friend or against everyone. Orbital weapons, nuclear strikes, mechs are just some of the ingredients you get to play with. Pick your favorite arsenal and allegiance and lay waste to your enemies, scattering their burning carcasses among the Orion Sector.

You are the last line of defense

Jump into an epic, cinematic saga of brotherhood in arms that spans the galaxy. Take on the mantle of Aster, Commander of the Protectorate, tasked with saving humanity from losing access to interstellar travel and receding into an age of darkness and ignorance. Engage in a cinematic RPG experience where your choices shape the future of the galaxy, then drop into the battlefields to execute on your strategies.

Choose your allegiance & arsenal

With 4 warring factions (3 active in pre-launch period), 7 mercenary factions and 14 distinct commanders all vying for power and dominance, you will have to use all your wit and strategic thinking to come out on top. Ally yourself with the right parties, build out your force, and protect the Orion sector.

PROTECTORATE

A Caelo Ad Terram.

For centuries the Protectorate have been the stalwart defenders of humanity’s ventures through the Orion Arm, guarding against enemies foreign and domestic of the United Earth Spheres. As humanity’s galactic infrastructure teeters on the brink of collapse over a deficit of the resource “flux,” the Protectorate brings honed tactics and heavy firepower to bear. Field veteran commandos to deep strike enemy positions, or bring the heavy firepower of your mech divisions to break enemy lines.

GRELL

Grow. Expand. Exterminate.

The Grell are a tide of highly evolved plant-like creatures that spawn sites of raw flux crystals through the galaxy, and humanity’s first contact with alien life. As external powers dive deeper into exploiting flux for faster than light travel, the once passive Grell have begun to flood across worlds, wiping out those who would threaten their biosphere. Expand your blooms by spreading the roots of your biomass across the battlefield, and rip apart your enemies with twisted evolutions from the acidic Harbinger to the rampaging Reaver.

LEGION

Across a Million Worlds, We March.

The Legion of Truth are a fanatical empire from beyond the reaches of known space, devoted to their Emperor and a pantheon of god-like beings. Their armies crusade across the cosmos, bringing all in their path under the Idals, and purging those unwilling or unable to accept the voice. Drown your enemies with waves of expendable Thralls and Fanatics, and break your enemy under the treads of the titanic Terror Tank, a mobile fortress that can reconfigure with the tide of battle.
