Sector Assault challenges players to craft unique loadouts from a diverse arsenal. Navigate through intense space battles, evading missiles and lasers, as you strategize your way back into control of the sector.
About this game
Sector Assault is a revolution of the classic Asteroids formula. Battle an enemy fleet as diverse as your own arsenal as you fight to reclaim the sector!
14 Loadout Options
Wield any combination of four weapons and equipment. Fire missiles and plasma torpedoes, get up close and personal with the Scattershot, or zap enemies with Chain Lightning. Equipment is even more flexible and allows you to stun targets, phase through attacks, or ram targets for massive damage!
16 Enemies and Their Variants
The enemy fleet includes everything from cruise missiles to teleporters. Evade mobile mines and sweeping lasers as you trade fire with heavily armed and armored juggernauts. Supercharged variants use special attacks non-stop, empowering them to fill your screen with projectiles.
30 Waves of Finely Crafted Mayhem
Enemies are capable of warping in formation or surrounding you without warning. Test your reflexes against endless combinations that support each other or overwhelm with brute force. Innovative controls allow you to master the chaos, and spawn timings are fine-tuned for a smooth and satisfying pace.
The Sublime Beauty of Deep Space
Sector Assault's backgrounds have been selected from thousands of randomly generated combinations. Each one is streaked with vivid nebulas and given parallaxing for added depth. Music and sound effects were handpicked with equal care to enhance the atmosphere.
Create the perfect loadouts and adapt faster than your enemy to secure the sector!

Free-To-Play Update
Hello, pilots! Sector Assault is going free-to-play on February 2nd. Patch 1.1 will introduce new features and polish, including: 3 Potent Powerups Enemies now drop powerups, which can be consumed to activate an effect of your choice. The Hyper Blaster is a powerful beam that automatically locks onto targets. The Overshield grants invulnerability, and the Supercharger gives you the energy and firing speed for massive retaliation on your terms. Revamped Scoring for Competitive Play Scoring has been reworked so players can show off their skills on the new in-game leaderboard. Powerups will help, but there is no substitute for steady aim and a keen eye for resources. Keep the killstreaks running and the multiplier climbing! Existing owners of Sector Assault will be given free powerups, and players can buy more to support future development. It's our hope that increased accessibility and the new support option will enable us to bring you more games. Thank you for playing, and happy blasting!Read full article on Community Announcements (Brian Crandell)
