Gaia Beyond

Gaia Beyond is a handcrafted 2D action RPG set in a vast, non-linear solar system two centuries after Earth's devastation. You explore in real time, fighting, mining and trading as you shape your relationships with factions and hundreds of NPCs. Your choices affect characters and can influence the system’s future.

A fractured solar system

Humanity left Earth after generations of war and self-inflicted catastrophes, spreading across the solar system and living under different conditions. The Machine War awakened a new hope for unity, but beneath the appearance of peace, old conflicts remain. New and old enemies are rising, and you can either contribute to humanity’s downfall or guide the system toward a brighter future.

Missions and choices

The Caduceus storyline spans 10 missions and explores the truth behind the Ganymede Flu. You can take on science missions, hunt pirates for their bounties, infiltrate dubious factions and uncover secret plots and threats. More than 100 sidequests offer further tasks, while your decisions can determine the fate of characters and carry consequences.

Trade and shipbuilding

You can focus on trading and personal interactions, or gather dozens of raw materials to craft or buy more than 100 spacecraft. Ships range from shuttles to capital ships, and you can upgrade yours with devices, shields and weapons. You can also hire and command mercenaries.

Fights and exploration

The solar system is an active, real-time 2D world with no loading times between areas. You face pirates, bosses, mutants and secret alien ships while exploring its locations and meeting the factions and people who live there.
