What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We have always wanted to make an expansive, ever growing universe for would-be starship Captains to explore, and Star Command Galaxies is that platform.

From day one, Galaxies has been concieved as not just a port of our mobile game but an experience that we could fully support. Our goal is to use community feedback to address gameplay issues and release regular updates that add in new content, races, ships and missions. Our early focus is on combat and balance (our core mechanic), followed by planets, and then diplomacy and end game scenarios.

We will be releasing our free mod tool SCIENCE (Star Command Isometric Enhanced New Creation Editor) to our community and leverage full support of Steam Workshop.

Our vision is to support Star Command Galaxies for the weeks, months and years ahead. We hope that you join us and help us make the game the best Starship simulator ever!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We anticpate that we will be bug fixing, adding content and new features once a year for at least the next six years. After that we will see the current status of the game and, depending on your satisfaction with the product, continue to add new content or move the game into full release.”

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

“The full version of Star Command Galaxies will feature a strong core combat engine, as well as tons of new ship hulls, missions, weapons, equipment and other fun surprises. We look at Star Command Galaxies as a platform and not just a game to be released and forgotten.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“We are in the FINAL phase of testing.”

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

“The final price for the game is still being decided, but could increase with added features and content by release.”

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

“We love our community! We look forward to hearing your feedback on gameplay, ideas for features, balance and most of all community mods and content when we release our free editor, SCIENCE.”

About This Game




Explore this gigantic blow out sequel to the mobile game hit Star Command, as you carry out your biggest orders yet: save the galaxy as we know it, Captain.

With rich and nuanced storytelling, deep and challenging gameplay, sharp and witty humor, heartwarming pixel art, a truly epic musical score, and oddly handsome developers, Star Command Galaxies™ offers an immersive, adventurous, real-time strategy, ship-captaining game experience; an affordable trophy that any good looking, smart, disease-free, sentient organism would want to add to their digital entertainment database.

Are you ready for your command?





Join now and take command of your very own starship and crew! Our intensive and comprehensive "Ship Captain in a Far Away and Forgotten Sector" course means you can be technically fit for duty... in as little as right now! The transport is ready!

As a Captain in Star Command:

  • YOU command a crew that are required to heed your every beck and call.
  • YOU command your very own starship... owned by us.
  • YOU must carry every Star Command order, for the good of our alliances or trade deals, possibly both.
  • YOU transform a gang of ragtag, uppity recruits into battle-hardened, ice-cold killer cadets.
  • YOU recruit and promote your crew, and also keep them alive, once the mission has been accomplished.
  • YOU retain all responsibility or liability incurred during the acts or acts of your unruly crew during or after your duty.







Customize and upgrade your (our) starship with cutting-edge, sometimes barely tested at-all, weapons and defensive systems. Fight in gigantic spaceship fleet battles. Destroy weak and unarmed enemy vessels. Repel nefarious teleporting invaders. Blow-up ancient derelict spacecraft with unknown treasures because your orders didn't explicitly say NOT to – you are the Captain, the decisions are yours!



Navigate the beauty, wonder and sheer terror of deep space – where even the tiniest decision can mean certain life or death for you and your entire crew. Bribe greedy space pirates, fend off bloodthirsty alien invaders, launch a torpedo blast at unruly traders, even engage in brutally primitive hand-to-hand combat in regrettably avoidable away missions where only one being can survive... all this and more!



Do you have what it takes? I mean, at such a fantastic bargain of [insert price here] – it's clearly a phenomenal deal any intelligent, attractive and discerning consumer would want to purchase now.

Listen Cadet, Star Command isn't just for any old Zagnar or Flagboolonius – you need heart(s), guts, even a tail, but most of all you have to truly want it! And at [insert bolder price] you can finally prove your zeal.
