Voidship: The Long Journey

Voidship: The Long Journey follows your escape from the onslaught that has left the Terran Empire in shambles. Your mission is to reach a set of coordinates, a journey spanning several centuries. You explore unknown sectors, gather resources, recruit crew members, discover technologies, assist allies and fight enemies.

Build your ship

You combine weapons and special modules to design a warship suited to your play style. A wide selection of modules offers many possible configurations. Large dreadnaught-class ships are powerful but slow and especially vulnerable in ion nebulas, while faster ships can kite enemies and evade most weapons.

Crew and traditions

Each crew member has their own strengths and weaknesses, which affect your ship’s special abilities. Space travel can take decades between star systems, and over the centuries your crew age, mature, die and reveal their needs and thoughts. Through the traditions system, you decide which principles define the surviving Terran people.

Explore and fight

Randomly generated maps create a new world to explore in each playthrough. Different factions inhabit different star systems, and your ship’s design can help you avoid enemies you are not prepared to face. Battles take place in real time against a wide variety of unique enemy spaceships.

You can pause to inspect enemy weaknesses and concentrate weapons on specific modules, such as engines, weapons or repair stations. Use the tactical overlay to identify vulnerabilities, exploit them with special abilities and add countermeasures to your ship after a battle.

Control modes

You can switch at any point between RTS and top-down shooter controls. RTS mode lets you direct your ship, its modules and other units, while shooter mode gives you more direct control over piloting your ship.

Modding

The game’s scripting data is accessible for modding.
