Command the Cosmos in Space Cadets: Engineering Corps

Welcome aboard, Captain! We have reviewed your credentials and are thrilled to have you at the helm. Don't worry if you are new to deep-space exploration; our team of enthusiastic engineering recruits will be joining your crew to ensure your mission runs smoothly. Just be prepared—our engineers love to tinker with everything they touch.

What is Space Cadets: Engineering Corps?

Space Cadets: Engineering Corps is a thrilling 2D top-down shooter roguelite where you take command of a variety of over-engineered, experimental starships. Your primary mission is to survey distant planets and identify candidates for terraforming. Equipped with a powerful arsenal, your wits, and a department of eager engineers, you must fly, fight, and survive the dangers of deep space. Gather research points during your runs to upgrade your vessels and crew, hoping to make the next mission just a little bit safer.

Your Ship Is Not Your Own

In this chaotic space combat game, your ship is subject to constant, unpredictable upgrades. Every 60 seconds, your engineers will implement "experimental" modifications. Sometimes you will get indestructible shields; other times, you might find that the hull is entirely optional. If you disapprove of their meddlesome tinkering, you can always utilize your management skills to fire an engineer—just ignore their desperate pleas. It is all part of the job!

Every Loss Is A Learning Opportunity

Failure in space is inevitable, but here, it serves as a valuable teaching moment. When a vessel is lost, your engineers will file an official ISC Form 27-B, ensuring the blame for the incident falls squarely on your shoulders. Use this data to earn meta-progression currency, which allows you to hire, train, or reward your staff. Unlock new ships and special abilities as you navigate the increasingly difficult challenges of the cosmos.

Experience a Randomly Generated Universe

Every solar system you traverse is procedurally generated, ensuring no two runs are the same. From dense asteroid fields and derelict ghost ships to mysterious cosmic events, every journey presents new hazards. Engage in "percussive negotiations" with local alien species to scavenge advanced technology, then hand those parts over to your engineers to create weapons that pack a serious punch.

Competitive Multiplayer Action

Think you can lead better than your friends? Prove it in our 4-player online multiplayer mode. Race against rivals to complete planet surveys while managing your own experimental ship. Use special espionage tokens to spy on your opponents, meddle in their progress, and ruin their day. The engineers join the fray too, deploying the same chaotic modifications to every captain's ship simultaneously.
