Astral Wake PC

Embark on an interstellar journey in Astral Wake, a fresh addition to the beloved lineage of space trading and combat games like Escape Velocity and Endless Sky. Pilot your ship through a vast galaxy, forge a career as a trader or take on contracts as a skilled freelancer, and engage in thrilling space battles—all rendered in full 3D while maintaining the top-down gameplay of the games that inspired Astral Wake.
