Rock Hoppers
Steam
Whether you're alone or with friends, Rock Hoppers offers a unique new survival challenge. Explore and conquer your way through a procedurally generated asteroid belt full of dangers and wonders! You start with nothing but an oxygen tank and a beat up old vacsuit to your name. Earn that next meal and that next breath of air by working for the local factions or strike out on your own in search of fortune. Your goal is not just to survive, but to thrive, and just maybe, to save the belt.

Explore a hostile alien environment where man is not an intruder, but merely a nuisance. Encounter a wide variety of aliens both weird and terrible. Build a vessel and set out in to the void in search of new biomes and new challenges.

You can start out small or aim big, but you'll need to defend you and yours from the constant threats the belt will throw at you. Experiment with new building styles in a world where up and down are only as good as the nearest gravmat. Build defenses both automated and manned, and progress through the tech tree to constantly improve your build. Hire guards, miners, and engineers to man your base and keep it humming.

Travel the length and breadth of the belt collecting resources for armor, weapons, vehicles, and more. Harvest alien plants. Spin the flesh of your enemies into filament for your fabricators, and complete special missions for unique and powerful rewards.
