As interstellar mercenaries, you fight through procedurally generated ships to secure resources for your crew. This is a turn-based strategy game with real-time elements.

NOTE: Game is in development, so is likely to experience issues and crashes. Feedback appreciated!

NOTE: The game is ~50mb, so may take a little bit to download on first run on the browser. May require short wait when playing the game for the first time.


Goals for a complete game:

Overworld: Choose combatant ships to set your mercenary company upon. Scavenge their ships, completing objectives and/or secondary objectives to determine the resources you obtain.

Combat: Fight through procedurally generated ships with a variety of items with an emphasis on oxygen management. If you space a room, that room will provide entry for you and your crew to fight a variety of enemies.
