March 15, 2026 - Fortified Space, a nostalgic space sim and tower defense hybrid inspired by classic Flash games, comes off the heels of a highly successful Steam Next Fest to release worldwide into Early Access on March 27, 2026.
This exciting upcoming title by Nightsail Game Studios puts players into the shoes of a Unified Earth Forces starship captain as they fight in space and on the ground to seize hostile enemy planets. Players begin by engaging in thrilling ship-to-ship orbital and fleet combat before landing on planets to build bases and obliterate waves of enemies. The player's ship, a highly advanced corvette of the UEF Navy, also has a fully explorable interior and can be used for asteroid mining, hydroponic farming, and even playing an arcade game. Nightsail Game Studios invites all to test their piloting skills and strategic mindset in this unique space-to-ground planet hopping adventure.
Build and Defend Planetary Fortifications
Think strategically as you deploy barriers, turrets, gates, and barbed wire on the planet to safeguard the area against relentless waves of enemies. Or, if it's been a long day, maybe you can just build a wall of turrets. The enemy will get the message. Create a secure zone to allow our Marines to land safely. After reinforcements arrive and you've succeeded in your mission, you can get resupplied with unlimited materials to continue building. Keep coming back to the planet to work on the base and fight off enemies!
Experience Intense Space Battles
Test your skills as a starship captain as you evade hostile fire, strafe alien cruisers, and escort allied ships during fleet battles. Blast incoming missiles with your ship's point-defense turret and strike hard with your railguns. Dominate the fight and secure victory.
Explore Your Ship and Relax
Fortified Space offers more than just adrenaline-pumping combat. Take a break from the battlefield to walk around your ship, talk to your crew, and read the news articles that update after each mission. Gather materials through asteroid mining, hydroponic farming, and composting. You can even kick around a soccer ball or play a target-shooting arcade game.
