Hi friends,

We hope you have enjoyed your time with the Breachway Demo so far during Steam Next Fest. We’ve seen many of you take to the stars, and we wanted to provide some intel we’ve recovered from a wrecked pirate ship deep in space to help you survive your next run.

New players should try the Arbalest first, as its targeting systems will give you the precision to shut down enemy attacks and delay their defenses, giving you plenty of openings to unload your entire salvo of ordnance cards to deal maximum damage.

Second, you must increase your reactor power early. You can upgrade this by earning at least 125 credits from taking down enemy ships, encountering special events, or selling extra equipment you discover along your journey. This will let you increase the resources you get every turn, giving you more opportunities to use your cards.


Third, saving up your cards a turn or two can mean the difference between a normal attack and a devastating combo. Sequencing your cards to power up your attacks – or defenses – can give you the edge to survive in space. Pulse Lasers and Flak Cannons have cards that grant you additional firepower when unleashing two or more cards in sequence.


Fourth, you can equip more cards in your hand by adding crew members to your equipment. This gives you more options each turn, and it will also help you set up your combos much sooner to take advantage of openings an enemy ship will eventually leave.

Lastly, timing is everything. Keep track of your opponent’s equipment and what’s charging up and what's ready to deploy. There will be opportunities to attack or shield up, depending on what’s coming next. This will keep damage to a minimum while also giving you the openings to attack when shields are down or charging.

Good luck out there, Space Cowboy.

A short-but-sweet ride of eldritch sarcasm.

Welcome back.

Steam Cloud has been fixed to work properly for Steam Deck and some Linux distros.

This is because it used to only download to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/LagMakesGames/PelletDodge/SaveFiles, but some Linux machines (and the Steam Deck) save to ~/.config/unity3d/<CompanyName>. This also fixes Cloud saves just generally not working on Linux for not being setup right ($XDG_CONFIG_HOME/LagMakesGames/PelletDodge/SaveFiles, it's supposed to be $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/unity3d/LagMakesGames/Pellet Dodge/SaveFiles).

lasers no longer blow out eardrums, and other small sound fixes

Thank you to everyone who has jumped into the free Homeworld 3 War Games demo so far! We’re extremely grateful for all of the support as well as your willingness to share and comment on what you’ve experienced so far. The team is looking at what we’ve seen so far and currently putting together plans for addressing core feedback.

This is the last (and only) weekend to assemble your fleets before the demo ends Feb 12 at 10am PT/18:00 UTC! The demo is currently live on Steam and EGS for all players.

War Games extends Homeworld 3 beyond just the campaign with an exciting 1-3 player co-op mode that fuses Homeworld’s RTS gameplay with roguelike inspiration. Commanders manage fleet strength across each battle and claim powerful artifacts that augment ships with each completed objective. Based on the results, players will unlock additional artifacts and starting fleets that keep the challenge fresh. The best part, artifacts and fleets unlocked during the demo will follow you to the game’s launch on May 13.

This optional game mode, along with the classic Skirmish mode, will be playable at launch at any point and does not need to be unlocked from playing the campaign. These modes don’t tie into the story or campaign and are meant to be battle simulations designed to keep Commander’s strategic skills in top-shape as preparation to take on what awaits in Homeworld 3.

You don’t have to play alone. War Games is played online with up to 3 players in a mission, even friends across Steam and EGS through the SHiFT friend’s system.

In this demo, you’ll play through 4 mission areas: Kesura, Naraka, Under the Ice, and Production Bay. Command one of two factions, Hiigarans and the Incarnate (unlocked at level 10), newly introduced through Homeworld 3’s campaign. After launch, players will be able to experience additional, unannounced, factions that will be added in future DLC.

Now is the time to download the Homeworld 3 War Games beta on the Steam and EGS store pages. Share your feedback through our support site or by joining us on the Homeworld Universe Discord.

Learn more about the War Games demo by reading our FAQ!

See you in-game, Commanders!

Need more action after the demo? Take the Homeworld universe anywhere you go with Homeworld Mobile, available on iOS and Android!

To celebrate our new Steam Next Fest demo we’ll be running another let’s play stream on Saturday 10th February @ 1PM EST.



Join Richard and Juliette as they play through the demo, showcase the core mechanics, and highlight the new metaprogression mechanics that we’ve implemented to create a more intuitive experience!

Hope you enjoy the demo!
