XO, by developer Jumpdrive Studios, has warped onto Kickstarter with the help of Square Enix Collective, but it needs your help to complete the jump! Inspired by sci-fi works such as Battlestar Galactica and games like FTL, XO’s spaceship fleet management gameplay will challenge you to make tough decisions while on the run from an unstoppable invading force.
Gameplay
XO is a single player game. Newtonian physics govern starship movement in a 2D plane. The game unfolds in real-time but you can pause the action and issue commands. Most of the gameplay is procedurally generated, including events, weapons, star systems, and personalities. These rogue-like elements ensure XO will be replayable and unique during each session.
