Exocraft is an online action-strategy game from GoldFire Studios about mining a dying alien world. You command a fleet of mining ships; it came to Steam in March 2019, with phone and browser versions later.
Ships are assembled from parts and painted, each has a crew, and elemental drones fight the ancient guardians that sit on rich deposits of crystals and cores. Everyone shares one world that grows and shrinks with the number of players online. There are squads, monthly tournaments and a team race for resources.
It suits players who like designing ships and playing in short sessions. The last update shipped in 2021 while the studio moved on to other games, and reviews complain about pay-to-win elements and an intrusive sign-up.
