About the Game

Current Development Status

The Fortified Space Demo is now available! Thank you for the phenomenal level of interest and feedback you have provided so far.  The demo will continue to receive regular updates, driven by player suggestions, and the full Early Access version will be released in late 2025.  I am currently pivoting toward graphical updates, but I still have a multi-page list of cool features to add and I will be incorporating those over the coming months as well.  I hope this game scratches an itch of yours.  If so, feel free to wishlist!

About the Game

As captain of a Unified Earth Forces starship, you are thrust into the heart of a counter-offensive against humanity's foes, leading daring missions deep into enemy territory. Fight in space and on the ground as you spearhead the assault, establish vital footholds, and pave the way for our Marine landing forces. 

Build and Defend Planetary Fortifications

Think strategically as you deploy barriers, turrets, gates, and barbed wire on the planet to safeguard the area against relentless waves of enemies.  Or, if it's been a long day, maybe you can just build a wall of turrets.  The enemy will get the message.  Create a secure zone to allow our Marines to land safely.  After reinforcements arrive and you've succeeded in your mission, you can get resupplied with unlimited materials to continue building in a sandbox mode.  Keep coming back to the planet to work on the base and fight off enemies!

Experience Intense Space Battles

Test your skills as a starship captain as you evade hostile fire, strafe alien space stations, and escort ships during fleet battles.  Blast incoming missiles with your ship's point-defense turret and strike hard with your railguns.  Dominate the fight and secure victory.

Relax and Enjoy Down Time

Fortified Space offers more than just adrenaline-pumping combat.  Take a break from the battlefield to walk around your ship, talk to your crew, and read the news articles that update after each mission.  Gather materials through asteroid mining, hydroponic farming, and composting.  You can even kick around a soccer ball or play a target-shooting arcade game.  

Ready for shore leave?  Fly to Earth and explore the civic and cultural institutions in humanity's capital.  Don't forget to visit the Library of Earth to read about the Interplanetary War and other interesting topics.

Good hunting!
