About this game
Battle for Rakir is an open-world, isometric (top-down) space combat sandbox taking place around the war-torn planet of Rakir. You will be joining the ongoing war, by creating a new character and leveling them up through combat and exploration, while searching for one of the many paths to peace that are available to end the ongoing war.
Rakir is a harsh, unforgiving environment. So you will need to carefully craft your build from dozens of different class-paths, spacecraft, equipment, and recruitable allies. Exploration is your friends, and many easter eggs and prizes are hidden throughout the universe, waiting to be found.
This is a solo indie developer project. The game is very much playable, and will continue to transform over the coming years, (albeit slowly and on my schedule), as I bring it closer to my vision of a living space combat sandbox. Please help make it better, with your suggestions and feedback.
