The game currently only has 1 main game mode, I hope to expand into 4 or 5 more different game modes. To give players more variety and lean into other game genres.

There is currently only 1 enemy faction in the game, I will hopefully be adding 7 more enemy factions all with different skills and abilities. To keep the player on there toes.

The game will have a full Storyline added to immerse you, in the world of Cosmic Strike. From raging battles, to conflicts within the vanguard fleet.

There is currently only 10 ships in the game I plan on adding 30+ more ships. The artwork for 8 have already been done, and will be added to the game in the next big update.»
