Galactic Arms Race

Galactic Arms Race is a 3D space shooter in which you pilot a gun ship and battle aliens, pirates and other enemies. You complete missions and destroy foes to earn ranks and credits, then spend your credits upgrading and customizing your ship. As you progress through increasingly challenging solar systems, you encounter friendly and hostile factions.

Weapons and progression

You gain levels and skills while discovering unique weapons that may be more powerful. The game’s cgNEAT algorithm automatically generates player weapons based on weapon-use statistics, creating new designs that build on weapons that have been popular in the past rather than simply respawning them.

Game modes

The game includes a single-player campaign, an instant-action system defense mode and multiplayer for up to 32 players, with both co-op and PvP. You can also run a Galactic Arms Race galaxy using the standalone server, which has a Windows graphical interface for administration.

Ship controls and view

The game combines elements of space shooters, action RPGs and open-world space adventures. Its fully 3D graphics use a top-down or “2.5D” view, with a chase camera and movement interface similar to those used in online RPGs.
