About the game

Take command of a fleet in an original science-fiction universe. Secure resources, build stations, research new technology and decide where your ships can make the difference. Shield impacts, beam exchanges and torpedo volleys make every engagement readable, while synchronized fleet warp lets you move your forces across the battlefield together.

Our focus is fun space strategy: no political or ideological agenda, no demand that you like our design choices, and no pressure to make a game your second job. Play when you have time. Pause and save single-player games, then return when it suits you. Live multiplayer matches still need everyone present.

Four factions, four fleet identities

Command the Earth Alliance, Vharuun, Ilyr or Nacre, each with its own ships, stations and visual language.

A battlefield worth thinking about

Protect your economy, choose formations and targets, repair valuable ships, capture enemy hulls and coordinate fleet warp.

Learn, then choose your next mission

Start with the Academy, follow a campaign or configure a skirmish against AI opponents. Single-player saving lets you continue later.

Play with the controls you prefer

Keyboard and mouse, Xbox-style controllers and Steam Deck controls have their own settings and tutorial guidance.

Make and share battlefields

Use the map editor and campaign tools to build and test custom content. Steam Workshop integration is part of the beta test scope.

AI campaign and map creation: planned, awaiting OpenAI approval

NTR Studio intends to let you describe a campaign or map in natural language and develop it with your ChatGPT plan. This capability is not available in the beta. Enabling it requires OpenAI to approve Space Armada for its commercial Sign in with ChatGPT program and ChatGPT plan usage. Approval and timing are not guaranteed. The game, included campaigns and manual editing do not require ChatGPT.

Optional ElevenLabs narration generation is also unavailable in the Steam beta while the provider-account and Steam billing arrangements are reviewed. The planned integration uses a separate ElevenLabs account; a ChatGPT subscription does not currently provide ElevenLabs credits. Included voice recordings work without either account.
