What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“I want to involve players directly in the development process. While eXoSpace is already fun and polished, I’m continuing to build new content and features that will make the full release even better. So join our Discord or the Steam Forum to share your feedback and ideas!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Early Access began on September 15, 2025, and is expected to last for less than six months.”

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

“During the Early Access period, I intend to introduce a variety of new features, including a game mode where players can compete with their fleets, hangars featuring player-designed fighters, a Linux version, and more. Please note that these are plans that may change during the development process.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“eXoSpace is already a polished game with enough content to keep players engaged for many hours. For details on the features currently available, please refer to the “About This Game” section below.”

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

“The price may increase during Early Access as additional features and content are introduced.”

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

“There is already an active community of players contributing to the development of eXoSpace, and you are invited to join them! I remain actively engaged on the Steam discussion boards and in our Discord server, and many player suggestions have already been successfully implemented.”

About This Game

eXoSpace Combat Engineer is inspired by Reassembly, FTL, Cosmoteer, Nova Drift, Starsector, Avorion and more. It fills a unique niche as a mission-based, gridless spaceship-designing roguelite.

Break free from the grid. Use an intuitive snap-and-rotate system to build anything from nimble interceptors to massive, bristling juggernauts. Balance thrusters, armor, and energy systems, or use advanced mechanical parts like pistons and rotators to create transforming warships.

No two hunts are the same. Each hyperjump brings randomized encounters, from desperate rescue missions to deadly pirate ambushes. Scavenge blueprints from fallen foes, gather resources, and adapt your ship’s design on the fly to survive the next boss encounter. 

Survival in deep space requires more than just a sturdy hull, it requires a seasoned crew and a tactical edge.

  • Train Your Crew: Use your bounty to train your crew. Improve weapon cooling, repair speeds, or pilot maneuvering, turning a rookie bridge into a legendary strike team.

  • Rewrite the Rules: Unlock Global Modifiers that fundamentally alter the physics and economy of the galaxy. Trade higher risks for massive rewards, or experiment with gameplay-altering shifts that keep every run fresh.

  • Climb the Hit List: Progress through a hierarchy of increasingly dangerous targets. As your reputation grows, so does the bounty. prepare your ship for the galaxy's most feared supervillains.

User Praise:

  • "This game feels like Reassembly if it was designed as a game, first and foremost, instead of a shipbuilding sandbox."

  • “I like how here, I can quickly design something and experiment. I can iterate quickly and comfortably."

  • “This game is ingenious, amazing and AWESOME! Something that fills the gap between Reassembly, Cosmoteer and Starsector.”

eXoSpace is a passion project by Fantastimaker, an independent game studio consisting of just Bas, its developer, marketeer and designer.
