Warped Universe: A Meta-driven Sci-fi Looter Shooter

You deploy onto a planet consumed by the Void. Push through the corruption, neutralize the cosmic threat, secure vital resources.

But here's the thing. That mission didn't just help you.

The Residuum you obtained just powered a facility on that planet. That facility, once completed, just gave a permanent buff to every player in the game. Meanwhile, someone else on the other side of the galaxy just discovered a new planet, unlocking more global buffs. Hundreds of these objectives, every season, all feeding the same universe.

You run the mission. The whole galaxy feels it.

And one more thing. Every mission can be played as real-time action or turn-based tactics. Your choice, every time. Bring your reflexes. Bring your strategy. Both work.

That's Warped Universe. A PvE looter shooter where the community drives the entire universe forward together. Run missions solo today. Squad co-op for up to 4 players arrives in an early post-launch update.

Explore. Defend. Upgrade. Empower.

Explore: Discover uncharted sectors and hidden planets.

Defend: Protect hundreds of seasonal objectives from the Void, a relentless alien enemy.

Upgrade: Collect Cores and Sparks to evolve and power up your custom Echo Suit and Ship.

Empower: Secure facilities to unlock permanent global buffs for everyone.

Free to play, forever. Cosmetics are the only thing you can buy. No paywalls. No pay-to-win. No gameplay locked behind a purchase

The more the community plays, the more the solar system opens up. Every facility you finish unlocks a permanent power-up for the entire community. Work together to guide the expansion.

Play Your Way

Bring your shooter friend. Bring your tactics friend. Bring the friend who just wants to fly through space. Everyone plays the way they want, and it all counts. The solar system expands based on what the community accomplishes together.

Independently Developed

Built by a team of 12. No publisher, no investors telling us what to make. Just developers with credits on Jumpgate, Auto Assault, LEGO Universe, and Dragons & Titans, building the game we wanted to play.

Free to Play, Forever

The game stays free after Early Access. The full experience is here from day one. Buy cosmetics if you like the look. Don't if you don't.
