Astrox Imperium

Astrox Imperium is a single-player, open-world space game built around economies, factions and a simple story. You choose how the universe is generated, adjusting its sandbox settings for slower, more demanding progression or faster access to its mechanics. Mining and contract missions provide ways to earn credits, while you can move between different activities to shape your progress.

Explore and earn

You can explore over 100 maps, each with unique resources, stations, structures and secrets. Mining is a major activity and the easiest way to earn credits; you can collect 12 types of resources, refine ore into raw materials and components, then use them to craft items. You can also trade in a simulated economy or take on randomly generated contracts with varied tasks and objectives. There are 15 mission types and contracts for 18 factions, whose ratings affect different areas of life in the Astrox universe.

Ships and combat

You can fly more than 70 ships and engage in real-time, tactical combat using weapons, ECM, drones, bombs and ships. Combat contracts may pit you against raiders, pirates or regular NPCs. The AI follows the same rules as you. You can train over 100 skills, manage and upgrade life-support systems to extend your exploration range, and use 10 drones with special abilities, either by automating them or assigning their tasks yourself.

Fleets and stations

You can build a fleet of up to 10 mercenary ships and command them individually or as a group. You can also progress to constructing stations, employing your mercenaries to generate passive income and make station services available.

Sandbox and modding

The game includes sandbox options for adjusting the universe to your preferences, along with built-in mod tools for creating game content. Its game files, databases, scripts and ship files are plain text and can be edited, and its images are available for modding.
