Instant summary

  Spacefreighter is a naval combat simulator set in space, where decisions you make about your fleet, weapons, and crew are as important as your skills and tactics in battles. It’s a game about decisions, trade-offs, and making cool ships explode.

  Genre

  An RTS naval wargame with some RPG elements

  Target audience

  Casual wargamers. This game will be simple to pick up and play. It will be a break from deeper, more “tryhard” games like World of Warships.

  What makes this game stand out?

  Art style, setting, and a unique blend of 70% serious and 30% fun. The interaction of simple mechanics produces a different experience with each match.
