What is Dust Fleet?

Dust Fleet is a single-player space strategy game set in the 24th-century Dust Zone, where missing resource shipments threaten humanity. You secure sectors, manage resources and research, and upgrade ships on a turn-based map before commanding fleets in real-time, three-dimensional battles. Alongside the story campaign, Sector Assault generates randomized maps, side missions, and enemies.

  • +you want a randomized mode alongside a story campaign

Not for you if...

  • −you want direct control of one ship rather than fleets
  • −you dislike switching between turn-based planning and real-time combat
