Space Commanders

Space Commanders follows a lone space commander exploring the Solar System to gather scientific data, establish small outposts and search for new worlds and potential habitats for humanity. You choose which planet to begin on. Each world has its own atmosphere, temperature, gravity and lighting, based on real scientific data, and survival in the cold, dark isolation of space is a constant concern.

Explore the planets

You explore planetary surfaces in first person, collecting data across multiple worlds. The landable celestial bodies are the Moon, Mars, Mercury, Triton, Venus and Ganymede. Surface details, items and planetary information are grounded in real scientific sources.

Rescue the crew

A spaceship stranded deep in space holds a crew of astronauts waiting for rescue. To reach them, you must collect data across multiple planets, handle your landing craft precisely and monitor your oxygen supply. Running out of oxygen means certain death, so every movement must be calculated.

Spacecraft and science

You navigate your spacecraft and landers from third-person and top-down perspectives. Earth serves as a hub for starship upgrades and supplies. The game also includes a 30-question quiz on space history and science, drawing on what you learn during your journey.
