What is Homeworld 3?

Homeworld 3 is a real-time strategy game where you command a fleet in three-dimensional space, directing ships around derelicts to attack enemies or take cover. Your fleet persists between campaign missions as a network of hyperspace gates begins to fail. You can also play randomized co-op combat challenges or skirmishes against AI or other players.

For you if...

  • +you like positioning fleets around cover in space battles
  • +you want randomized co-op fleet combat with friends
  • +you enjoy campaigns where your fleet persists between missions

Not for you if...

  • −you prefer turn-based planning over real-time fleet combat
  • −you dislike managing ships across three-dimensional battlefields
