About Celestial Command
Celestial Command is a realistic co-op crafting survival sandbox space game which unites an orbital mechanics, realistic physics, ship constructor and various features of classic space games.
Mine asteroids, salvage space debris, build space ships and stations, manage fuel and energy, trade goods, performs missions and fight against enemies in large open world with realistic 2D physics based on orbital mechanics or in alternative, more classic game mode.
The world of the game works based on simplified orbital mechanics. Everything in state of constant orbital motion. Perform orbital maneuvers and keep your space ships on stable orbits to prevent crashing on a planet or loosing ship in deep space.
The physics simulates in 2D space, this makes flying and navigation enjoyable and easy but also generates a lot of interesting situations due physical collisions which are more often in 2D space than in 3D.
Explore a procedural galaxy filled with various types of stars, black holes, planets, asteroids, space stations and other interesting things which we will constantly add in the future.

You can build your own ship part by part. Each part of the ship is individual, it has own functions and parameters. Therefore, abilities of your ship are completely dependent on the modules from which it is assembled. You can build small explorers, large industrial ships, carriers, defense satellites or whatever you want.
Each module can be detached or attached to the ship right on the fly, which allows to transform your ship using found modules.
All resources of the ship are limited. Including fuel, energy, ammo and construction materials, so store them and use them wisely.
You are not bound to a single ship. You can build as many ships and space stations as you want. And you can switch control between them anytime. Also it is possible to control your ships not only directly, but also giving movement orders.
Mine asteroids for useful resources or salvage wreckage of broken ships in order to build new modules and produce fuel.
Build various types of devices to fight against enemies. Cannons, lasers, rockets, shields and more.

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Having read the threads, including input from the developers themselves, this game has been abandoned due to commercial failure, nothing more. Obviously, cannot recommend. Boycott "Early Access"2 found this helpful
Developed and published by Science Interactive, Celestial Command is a space simulation that places engineering, exploration, and strategic planning at the center of its gameplay. Rather than delivering a scripted adventure, it offers a sandbox where players are responsible for creating their own success. Every journey begins with modest resources, but through careful expansion, asteroid mining, manufacturing, and station construction, players gradually build an interstellar operation capable of sustaining itself. The game's emphasis on freedom encourages experimentation, allowing players to tackle objectives in their own way instead of following a fixed progression path. The heart of the experience lies in its highly detailed ship-building system. Every spacecraft is assembled from individual functional components, making each design an exercise in practical engineering rather than cosmetic customization. Engines, reactors, storage bays, production facilities, weapons, and defensive systems all interact to determine how efficiently a vessel performs. Building a successful ship requires balancing energy consumption, cargo capacity, durability, and mobility, rewarding thoughtful pl…1 found this helpful
Basically abandonware.
Abandonware - devs took the money and ran to develop a cafe sim instead. =/ Like taking your college tuition to go be a hairdresser imho
Under Romenics' own admission, this game was developed in bad-faith, as Romenics (lead Dev) has openly admitted that this 12-year-old project was just a "learning project to gain game development experience," and a separate entity: "Science Interactive is also us, just registered in another country... we used all our time and experience from Celestial Command to make Cafemart Simulator." I warn any user against purchase as this is a potential violation of the Early Access Conduct.
DO NOT BUY IT IS A SCAM The devs have now said they are abandoning the game, but in the mean time they have made another one. They are so honourable they are still selling and taking your money even if the game will never be finished. Go to the community forums now and read this article makes you wonder doesn`t it. https://steamcommunity.com/app/330460/discussions/2/839502870935123264/ Mind you Steam is as bad to let them still sell abandoned products for money great ethic by both companies. Do yourselves a solid stay far away from this rip off of a company/Dev. Update From another user Azil posted on the game community forum. I’m not claiming public Steam data proves where the money went. It doesn’t. But the public record looks awful. Celestial Command launched into Early Access on Nov. 20, 2014. A Wayback snapshot from July 1, 2015, only about seven months later, shows the lead developer’s Steam profile at 270 games owned, 303 DLC, level 65, and 70 badges. His current public profile shows 1,278 games, 1,767 DLC, level 136, and 196 badges. That is an increase of 1,008 games and 1,464 DLC from a conservative post-launch baseline. His current profile also shows 95.7 hours playe…
