Excubitor

Excubitor is set in 2182, in a remote star system colonized by humans. A century after Albert Einstein and Nathan Rosen predicted wormholes—shortcuts through space-time that allow instantaneous travel across vast regions of space—a discovery made their theory a reality and began an interstellar race to claim the Voidshards. These blue crystals are scattered across the system’s worlds and could provide humanity with all the energy it will ever need.

At the system’s heart is Baphomet, a hyper-giant star over a thousand times larger than the Sun and one of the largest stars known to humanity. Dozens, perhaps hundreds, of planets orbit it; many more were swallowed as Baphomet grew during its stellar evolution. Waves of enemy drones attack the mothership Antares, and you defend it by building and upgrading fortifications while directly piloting the Hammerhead defence craft.

Defend Antares

Place and upgrade nine types of turret in strategic locations. The Prism turret bounces lasers between multiple enemies, while the Gatling laser deals high damage with high accuracy. You can also interact with the environment to aid your defence.

The Hammerhead can equip 17 upgradable weapons, including the multi-targeting Tesla Coil, the helium plasma Combustor and the Decimator. You can upgrade its subsystems as well, increasing your rate of fire with the berserk ability or stunning enemies with the shockwave ability, among other options.

Levels and challenges

Fight colossal bosses and choose from four difficulty levels. NewGame+ is the hardest mode and includes secret weapons. You can replay any level to pursue the highest score and earn a gold rank.
