Why you might like it

  • A genuinely still-active browser-based 3D space combat MMO, with real ongoing patches and bugfixes confirmed as recently as August 2026.
  • Unlike many browser MMOs, it plays and looks like a proper installed game — real-time flight combat, full 3D graphics and a persistent open universe rather than a simplified click-based interface.
  • Free to play with no forced downloads, letting players jump into space combat against the alien Mantis directly from a browser or an optional standalone client.
Before you play

Things to consider

  • Originally published through Bigpoint, and the game has been passed between different portal operators over the years (Bigpoint, then gamigo and others), which has occasionally caused account-transfer confusion for returning players.
  • As with most long-running browser MMOs, expect a smaller, veteran-heavy population compared to its earlier-2010s peak.
  • Its space-combat core is more action-oriented than sandbox — players wanting deep economic simulation (à la EVE Online) will find it comparatively streamlined.
