# Warped Universe: A Meta-driven Sci-fi Looter Shooter
You deploy onto a planet consumed by the Void. Push through the corruption with your squad, neutralize the threat, secure vital resources.
But here’s the thing - that mission didn’t just help you.
The Residuum your squad obtained just powered a facility on that planet. That facility when completed just gave a permanent buff to every player in the game. Simultaneously, another player exploring a sector discovered a new planet for even more global buffs. And there's hundreds of these objectives to be completed each season.
That’s Warped Universe. A co-op PvE looter shooter where the community drives the entire universe forward togethe

# IF YOU LIKE THESE GAMES, YOU’LL FEEL AT HOME IN OUR UNIVERSE
The co-op PvE loop will feel familiar if you play Helldivers 2, Deep Rock Galactic, Warframe, or Destiny 2. Space flight will feel familiar to those who play Everspace 2 and Star Wars Battlefront. For the fans of tactical games like XCOM 2, Fallout Tactics, and Gears Tactics, we offer the ability to play all missions as turn-based as well as real-time. We took what we love about those games and built something new where everyone matters, and every mission counts towards the seasonal system objectives.
# EARLY ACCESS - WHAT’S HERE NOW
Co-op ground combat and space exploration for 1–4 players. Social hub. Planetary facility progression. Seasonal solar system where the community unlocks new planets together. Multiple ways to approach every mission.

Every mission feeds the bigger picture. Complete objectives, extract Residuum, activate planetary facilities. The buffs don’t just go to your squad. They go to everyone. The more the community plays, the more the solar system opens up. Every facility you finish unlocks a permanent power-up for the entire community.
**Play Your Way

Bring your shooter friend. Bring your tactics friend. Bring the friend who just wants to fly through space. Everyone plays the way they want, and it all counts. The solar system expands based on what the community accomplishes together.
