C-Beams

C-Beams is a top-down space action RPG where you pilot your ship through a perilous black hole system. Navigate treacherous anomalies, engage in intense ship-to-ship combat, and upgrade your vessel to face ever-greater challenges.

In the future, humanity has begun reaching out into the stars. The discovery of a new black hole system has sparked a gold rush, drawing corporations and daring pilots eager to claim its riches. Those brave enough to face hazardous anomalies and hostile competitors can amass great fortunes by extracting rare, never-before-seen elements.

As a new pilot with nothing to lose, you'll decide how to carve your legacy in this unforgiving frontier.

Pilot a variety of ships, each featuring highly realistic handling characteristics. Engage retro burns to decelerate rapidly, cut your engines to drift silently through space, and master maneuvering thrusters to evade enemy fire.

Docking at space stations or derelict ships is a skillful art. The better you become at piloting, the faster you'll complete missions and earn rewards.

However, overloading your cargo hold will increase your ship's mass, making it sluggish and harder to maneuver. Keep an eye on your fuel reserves—running out of boost fuel at the wrong moment could be the difference between victory and defeat.

Tear enemy ships apart in chaotic close-range firefights using rapid-fire gatling turrets and recoilless cannons, or pick them off from a distance with guided missiles, railguns, and powerful C-Beams. Sub-system targeting allows you to disable engines, weapons, or radar for a tactical edge. The approach you take in combat is entirely up to you.

Asteroids can serve as cover from incoming fire or as strategic ambush points. Stealth upgrades open up opportunities for surprise attacks or avoiding unnecessary confrontations.

Destroyed ships drop valuable cargo and components. Disable a vessel, dock with it, and raid its cargo hold for even greater rewards.

Traverse a vast network of jump points connecting asteroid fields, space stations, planets, moons, and nebulas. While local station contracts provide clear objectives, wandering into uncharted space may yield even greater rewards.
