What is this

Top-down space combat

Mouse-aimed, twin-stick feel. Multiple ship classes with different weapons, drones, and abilities.

Loot & build progression

Random affix items, crafted upgrades, ship-specific skill trees. Drop-in friendly, no grind walls.

Sectors & dungeons

ROTMG-flavored: persistent sectors for free-roam, time-bounded dungeons that drop from world enemies.

Friends-only server

One dedicated host, no matchmaking. Show up when you want — your ship, items, and skills persist.

How to play

  1. Click Download Launcher above. Windows might warn about an unknown publisher — accept it (no code signing yet).
  2. Unzip and run SotN.Launcher.exe. The launcher downloads the game on first run and keeps it patched.
  3. Press Play, then register a pilot name and password (saved on the dedicated server).
  4. Spawn in the hub. Talk to portals to enter sectors. WASD to move, mouse to aim, left-click to fire.
