Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“I need play testers to help identify bugs and balancing issues. This game has gone through a lot of in house development and testing, but I want feedback to make it the smoothest, and most fun experience at launch for players.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“6 months”

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

“Much more variety in design of all types. From how the Teraforge 2D engine creates the assets it places around the world, to the variety of what players will see on the planet themselves. Only a small handful of bosses have been implemented, so there's plenty of variation in end-game content planned.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Fully playable solo or online with all the intended mechanics.”

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

“Yes, the game will be a little bit more on release, but the plans are to keep the price rather low before and after EA release.”

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

“Testers, balancing, bug finding, and gameplay feedback.”

About This Game

TerraHeist is a top-down sci-fi action game about exploring alien planets, stealing valuables, and making it home with the haul. Head out alone or with friends, take on contracts, and put your earnings toward your next expedition.

Discover procedurally generated worlds

Choose a destination, explore its wilderness, and raid its buildings for something worth carrying home. Return to a planet you know, or head somewhere new.

Custom procedural systems built specifically for TerraHeist generate terrain, buildings, plant life, creatures, and weapons. That variation reaches into attack effects and sound, shaping both the places you explore and the things you encounter.

Turn encounters into new abilities

The creatures you encounter can become part of your loadout. Capture them to deploy as companions, or siphon a vulnerable creature's attack into an ability gem you can install in a weapon.

An attack you had to dodge on one expedition could be yours on the next. Experiment with creatures, gems, and weapons to find combinations you enjoy.

Make a weapon your own

Find procedurally generated ranged and melee weapons with their own shapes and appearances. Upgrade your equipment, install ability gems, and link powers to well-timed melee combo strikes.

Build around a weapon you like, then change what it can do as you discover new abilities.

Fight your way through, solo or together

Mix gunplay with timed melee combos, charged attacks, blocking, and dodging. Pick your openings, use your abilities, and stay ready when a fight gets crowded.

Play solo or in online co-op. A crew gives you more ways to handle trouble, and someone to help when an expedition goes wrong.

Know when to head home

Another building or unfamiliar creature can be a reason to stay a little longer. Getting in over your head has a cost: revival can eat into your earnings.

Keep an eye on your crew and your route home. Decide when you've found enough to make the trip worthwhile.

Build up your HUB

Back at the HUB, sell your haul, improve your gear, and prepare for your next contract. Build and furnish your home, upgrade its stations, and set up defenses for raids and boss encounters.

Choose your next destination when you're ready to head out again.
