We expect players will avoid engaging in direct man-to-man combat and instead use their creativity and engineering skills to build war machines and fortifications to survive in space and on planets. Space Engineers concentrates on construction and exploration aspects, but can be played as a survival shooter as well.

Space Engineers strives to follow the laws of physics and doesn’t use technologies that wouldn’t be feasible in the near future. Think about modern-day NASA technology extrapolated 60 years into the future. Space Engineers is inspired by reality and by how things work. Individual modules have real volume and storage capacity.

Volumetric objects behave like real physical objects with mass, inertia and velocity. Volumetric objects are structures composed from block-like modules interlocked in a grid.

The game can be played either in single or multiplayer modes. Space Engineers features a realistic, volumetric-based physics engine: everything in the game can be assembled, disassembled, damaged and destroyed.
