About Wayward Terran Frontier: Zero Falls


2d space combat



Wayward Terran Frontier aims to create the best real time 2d space combat that has ever existed by simulating the full interior of every single ship in real time during combat.

You play from the perspective of a single crew, capable of moving at will between ships and stations, even into empty space via an EVA suit. You can engage in combat directly with the crew members of a ship, however the real focus of Zero Falls is on ship to ship combat.

In combat between ships, your health is your crew, and the functionality of your modules that is lost as they are destroyed.
  • Lose life support and your crew will run out of air.
  • Lose sensors and you won't be able to detect or target enemy ships
  • Lose your engines and you may be stranded in space for the rest of your life

Best to avoid explosive decompression or you may find yourself suddenly respawning at your home station.

You play as a nameless clone created by an ominous artificial intelligence set on accomplishing...something in this star system. Will you follow its orders or go rogue and play by your own rules? That's up to you. The story of Zero Falls takes place in a large star system filled with deep sandbox elements.
  • Multiple factions with their own motivations and allegiances
  • Dynamic economy with NPC trade ships making real trade runs with real cargo for pirates to plunder.
  • Entirely open and free. Every ship, station, and derelict has a fully mapped interior for you to explore.
  • Steal ships and scrap them for resources and to learn how to manufacture them yourself
  • Design the ultimate mining barge to collect the resources needed to manufacture ships or just steal the resources from a friendly NPC mining party
  • Explore progressively more dangerous sectors of space to find better ships and technology for your collection

Players can also optionally design their own ships with a built-in ship editor that allows you to control every pixel of your ship's design down to the type of toilets.

Alternately import custom ships designed by players and uploaded to our workshop. You will see their ships wandering in the open world and you can attempt to defeat them and, if lucky, board them to steal their ship for yourself.

Could potentially be one of the best space sandboxes to ever exist, if anyone ever actually paid it any attention (dev included). One of the more unique shipbuilding experiences in theory, crew management that was originally going to be real characters, a cool take on battles where you have to manage inside AND out in real time- so many interesting concepts, but only on the surface. This game has been in developement for a decade and is still somehow, despite numerous "overhauls", almost exactly the same insofar as being a buggy, barely playable mess. When I saw that progress was being posted again, I gave it another shot, only to discover that half the new stuff was AGAIN half-baked and incomplete. Most egregious of all, the focus has shifted to MULTIPLAYER of all things, and so rings the death knell for my interest in what WTF: Zero Falls could become. To the dev: Solo game-dev is hard, I understand, but you need to be honest with yourself and your players- if you are no longer interested in finishing your product, stop selling it. Multiplayer becoming the focus at this point, with the history here, sounds like nothing more than choosing a pointless, difficult task simple so …

have had this game for many years and its sad to see so many reviews call this a dead game because it hasnt had an update in 23 month, but the early access note doesnt show that the unstable build of the game is getting updates and the last update was on July 1st 2026.
