Civilization is trapped in Masada, a vast and exotic nebula far from any star system. Thousands of years have passed since humanity became prisoners of this strange world, and in that time, it has blossomed into drastically different cultures—ranging from humble nomads to black hole-worshiping theocracies and powerful empires competing for total domination. The struggle for survival is always present in this brutal space.

Gameplay

Masada is a single-player RTS/RPG set in a 5,000 x 5,000 x 50 km open world sandbox.

• Explore many unique regions ranging from vast asteroid fields filled with pirates to dense nebula where any dangers could be lurking in the fog, to even epic ice capped terrain. The nebula is a strange and wild place.

• Immerse yourself in a simulated world. You are not the center of the universe in Masada. Ships and their pilots will carry on with their business whether you are there or not. Encounter miners hauling ore back from an excavation, ambush traders as they bring goods across the nebula, scavenge wreckage from a battle you stumble upon, and much more.

• Build and customize your fleets, from nimble interceptors to powerful battlecruisers and even motherships. You will need to use a wide range of tactics to truly thrive in the nebula. Arm your ship's weapons with autocannons, artillery, railguns, missiles, beams, pulse cannons, torpedoes... and more. Setup support ships with repairing shield beams to protect your frontline. Develop robust carriers that can quickly dock and repair your smaller craft in battle. The combination of outfitting all your ships with a wide range of weapons and modules leads to infinite variations of tactics for you to explore.

• Craft and discover greater and more powerful modules and weapons through industry, trade, combat and exploration.

• Learn to build and fly all the ships in the nebula through blueprints. Some will be harder to acquire than others...

• Train and recruit a powerful faction of pilots to pursue roles from scouts to frigate captains and set your best to command your most powerful warships. Your pilots can achieve mastery in any area to dominate the nebula.

• Freedom to pursue any path. Whether you want to lead a powerful faction, command a small elite squad of pirates, build an industrial powerhouse or even become a nomadic trader, Masada is a game centered around unrestricted player freedom.

• Battle against wide ranges of different factions with vastly different ships and tactics. Battles can range from simple duels to massive 1000 ship brawls. You must be prepared for a vast range of encounters.

• Defeat legendary world Bosses. The nebula is filled with powerful leaders who fly one-of-a-kind ships with special characteristics. Conquer them and collect the nebulas most powerful war machines.
