Between the Stars

Between the Stars is a space action game with RPG progression and real-time combat. You command an interstellar cruiser and protect civilization from the Children of the Sun, a faction that controls border planets and seeks to expand. As you travel across the galaxy, you face challenges at each warp jump and make decisions that affect your ship, crew and the surrounding universe.

Travel the galaxy

Explore a procedurally generated stellar map, where events present new challenges along the way. Visit planets and space stations across different sectors, and encounter hundreds of text-based events that test you and your crew. Decisions in an event can change how a playthrough unfolds.

Fight and upgrade

Battle in real time, using your ship’s special abilities at the right moment. Unlock, buy, upgrade and personalize playable ships and their systems. You can also craft and salvage equipment, and research new weaponry to improve your offensive capabilities.

Develop your captain and crew

Create a captain and develop them over the course of the adventure. Level them up and gain different attributes based on your decisions. You can hire and upgrade crew members, level them up, protect them from danger and replace casualties.
