Lead one stranded fleet through a survival campaign, then fight turn-based 3D battles where visibility, positioning, and every committed order matter.

The game
Routes spend resources and reveal pressure. Holding position is only safe while supplies last — and lingering draws the wrong kind of attention.
Salvage is finite and the good modules never turn up in pairs. Armour or a better reactor, more guns or the fuel to reach the next system — every fit is a bet on the fight you have not seen yet.
Commit move and fire orders under visibility limits, weapon arcs, shield pressure, subsystem damage, and enemy AI doctrine.
Salvage, prize ships, officer wounds, and battle outcomes become the next campaign problem. Nothing resets between battles.
One fleet, its officers, and the battles that decide whether anyone gets home — not an empire to sprawl across a 4X map.
Explore the full game →The combat
Sensors, stealth, and cloak decide who can see whom. When neither fleet has contact, both sides commit their turn blind. Information is the first weapon you fight with.
Plan a whole turn, lock it in, watch it play out. There is no APM pressure and no take-backs. The skill is in the decision, not the click speed.
You maneuver in three dimensions. Bring heavies broadside, kite with skirmishers, screen with point-defense — or get caught out of arc and pay for it.
The story
You are a TCSF captain on your first independent command. A routine patrol near the Mori border ends when something ancient wakes up, and your flotilla is thrown a million light-years past the edge of every chart the Commonwealth has. Nothing out here has ever heard of Sol.

In development
A playable single-player campaign that saves and loads, with a hand-authored galaxy, story nodes, and battle-to-campaign fold-back.
Combat readability, UI pass, fog-of-war rebalance, and a public demo / Steam Playtest build to gather community feedback before Early Access.
Early Access only when the build is worth the listed price. We build the game in the open with the community from here.
Latest devlog
The combat sim is proven and the campaign spine is playable. Here's what Early Access means for Shattered Reaches, and how we'll use the community to shape the road to 1.0.

Ranked and head-to-head modes open only after the single-player campaign lands. They are not part of the Early Access promise.

Wishlist on Steam and you will be first to know when the Playtest opens — and you will help decide what the game becomes on the way to 1.0.
