Story


Three thousand years have passed since the first colonists left Earth. Now the galaxy is divided between the militant star empires and independent mercenary groups. In a remote corner of the galaxy — Sector 1337, the area of the dead — a world has been left behind. Here, the ruins of a great civilization of Aliens have recently been discovered. Huge factories and sprawling cities are falling into decay. Fragments of ships lie on the fields where massive battles were once fought. But there is not a living soul. Everything has been destroyed by a mysterious Cataclysm — a pulsing anomaly that burned out all life within this sector.

This doesn’t stop mankind, the new «owner» of the Universe. Mercenaries and adventurers have flocked to the sector to sift through the ruins and loot its abandoned artifacts, without consideration of the danger. Many have disappeared — including members of well-armed expeditions — but those who have managed to return have uncovered unprecedented riches. So looters continue to come here, to find the Aliens’ lost treasures — and to fight for them.

What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

Players appreciate this game's fun gameplay and comparison to classics like Freelancer, with many having enjoyed it over the years despite a learning curve. However, the dominant complaint is frustration over the game's server shutdown in October, with players wishing the developer would either maintain servers or release the source code to allow community-run alternatives. Some technical issues like controller support problems are also noted.

I came back to nosey and only learned they are shutting down. It is a sad thing. I wish games like this could find a way to leave something of an offline mode. Spending time and money with them gets washed away as a result of all this corporate greed destroying games. Sorry to see the game go.
