Games Like Cosmic Gold Rush

Explore space in 3D. Fight in 2D. Mine the universe or die trying.

Earth is dying. Resources are gone. Civilization teeters on the brink. Your mission: venture into hostile solar systems, extract gold from asteroid fields, master lost technologies, and build an army of mining and combat robots. Every run is a calculated risk, but death isn’t the end—your clone inherits all your progress.

Gold has held its value across every human civilization. Ancient Sumerian texts describe the Anunnaki — half-gods from outer space who created the human race with one purpose: to mine gold for them. What if that was not mythology? What if gold is the universal currency across the cosmos itself? That question became a game.
