Subverse

Subverse is a science-fiction role-playing game set in the Prodigium galaxy, where you lead a revolution against the tyrannical Imperium. You recruit and develop a crew, fight in space and on the ground, and help the mysterious hacker Fortune uncover a galactic conspiracy while saving planets. The fully voiced main story takes more than 20 hours to complete, and the broader adventure lasts over 30 hours.

Story and crew

The story unfolds through a dynamic narrative system, voiced dialogue and more than two hours and 30 minutes of animated story cutscenes. As you expand your dossier of commanders, save their planets and take on side-gigs, you can build up your insurgent force and work to destabilize the Imperium’s hold on the populace.

Nine characters have individual quests and complex backstories. You can recruit and romance them, gain their admiration, and unlock devotion quests. You can also equip them with special outfits and customize their hair color, sweat, lewd body art and the Captain’s skin. Completing devotion quests rewards you with more than 40 minutes of cinematic scenes.

Combat and progression

Fight alongside your crew in space missions or deploy them in ground combat against five enemy factions. The game includes more than 20 unique boss fights and 13 kinds of mantics to breed and fight with. You can also deploy bio-mechanical soldiers created in Science Officer Dr. Lily’s lab to support the revolution.

Your flagship, the Mary Celeste, changes as you find upgrades and complete planet events. DEMI, the ship’s android, grows alongside you and grants passive bonuses to your crewmates. Resources can also go toward upgrading your starfighter for retro, shoot-’em-up-style combat. The game includes an overhauled leveling and progression system.

Scenes and collectibles

The game includes 239 unlockable, animated and voiced sex scenes that you can mix and match through the Pandora system. Killi’s Gallery lets you pose characters against unlockable backgrounds and take photographs; unlocked outfits can also be used in Pandora. More than 40 audiotapes, totaling almost two hours, feature intimate encounters with the characters.

You can explore more than 400 planets designed by Kickstarter backers and collect hundreds of items, including behind-the-scenes content. A jukebox features more than 60 tracks across chillstep, synthwave and metal.
