About eXoSpace Combat Engineer

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

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. Unleash destruction while evading enemy fire. 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.
