Description

Habitat is a successfully funded Kickstarter game from indie developer 4gency, originally discovered at GDC in 2013. It is a real-time, physics-driven orbital strategy game where you build, fly, and fight with the unique space stations that you create out of space debris orbiting earth. In its simplest terms it is a strategic space survival game.

BUILD THE FUTURE HOMES OF HUMANITY. Lead a team of space engineers to gather human and alien debris in Earth's orbit to construct your very own space stations, complete with life support systems, rockets for travel and famous landmarks for living quarters.

EXPLORE, EXPERIMENT AND UPGRADE. Combining different bits of debris unlocks hidden powers and upgrades for the ultimate creation. As you progress research a full tech tree to build stronger, bigger and potentially deadlier habitats.

GROW YOUR POPULATION TO ADVANCE. Manage oxygen, electricity, food and living spaces to keep your citizens happy - or face the consequences. If your engineers are able to attach onto an enemy habitat, use them to take it over and gain a whole new habitat in an instant!

SURVIVE IN A ZERO GRAVITY UNIVERSE. Master physics-driven flight simulation to explore space around you and use rockets to turn your creations into deadly kinetic orbital weapons to smash the enemy and salvage valuable parts for your own gain.

PLAY IN THE SANDBOX OR ACCEPT THE ULTIMATE MISSION. Two game modes offers you the option to experiment in a persistent world or take on narratively driven missions in a fight to save humanity from the destructive nano-machine army that is consuming Earth.
