Evolve from simple drone to massive dreadnaught in eXoSpace Combat Engineer! Explore a vast galaxy, design custom drones, and battle diverse factions. Defeat epic bosses in thrilling missions, or unleash your creativity in Sandbox and Arena modes.

eXoSpace Combat Engineer combines the gridless spaceship building of Reassembly, the intense combat of Nova Drift, and the unpredictable hyperjump encounters of FTL.

Break Free From the Grid

Using a fully gridless, intuitive snap-and-rotate designer, you balance weapons, thrust, energy and armor, use advanced mechanical parts like pistons and hinges to build transforming warships, or install hangars to deploy swarms of custom-designed drones.

Drone to Dreadnaught

Take your custom vessel into Bounty Hunt mode, navigating asteroid storms, pirate ambushes, and random encounters as you evolve your ship from a basic drone into a true dreadnought to survive intense, bullet-hell boss fights.
