Nex-Ara is a tactical sci-fi strategy game where you command a fleet of ships in order to protect your home system from an alien threat. Forge interplanetary connections and select between 3 upgrades because it is a roguelike to defeat your enemies across a shifting galactic battlefield.
Nex-Ara is a galaxy defense roguelike where your only hope is to evolve your fleet faster than the alien hive can devour the solar system. Upgrade a select fleet of ships and dive into intense, tactical combat across a dynamic star system. But be warned — while you fight, planets continue to orbit, enemies grow stronger, and fuel is always in short supply. Every move counts. Every battle matters. You'll need careful planning, quick thinking, and strategic upgrades to stand a chance against the hive's relentless advance.
