Defeat Your Enemy’s Station While Defending Your Own
In Orbitfall, players compete to destroy their opponent’s station while protecting their own. Using ships, crew, and powerful star resources, players must balance offense and defense as the Battlefield evolves. Smart decisions, careful timing, and adaptability determine victory as you reduce your opponent’s structural Integrity to zero.
Harness the Power of Stars
Stars provide the energy that drives every action in Orbitfall. Players draw on star energy to deploy ships, crew their fleets, and activate powerful specialty cards that can shift the course of battle. That energy is not permanent. Stars decay over time, forcing players to decide when to spend their power and when to hold back. Mastering how and when to use star energy is key to maintaining momentum and controlling the battlefield.
Command Your Fleet
Spaceships form the backbone of every fleet in Orbitfall. As you deploy ships to the Battlefield, each one fulfills a specific role: whether delivering decisive strikes, absorbing damage, controlling space, or enabling broader strategies. The timing of your deployments and how your ships coordinate shape how you attack, defend, and ultimately win. A strong fleet is not just powerful, but flexible enough to adapt as the battle evolves.
Crew Your Ships
Crew members bring specialized skills, tactical options, and added functionality to your fleet. Pilots, navigators, cartographers, tacticians, engineers, technicians, and others can create immediate effects when played, enhance the Ships they serve aboard, support your broader strategy, or introduce entirely new ways to interact with the game. Thoughtful Crew placement allows you to adapt to changing conditions, turn individual Ships into specialized tools, and build combinations that reward careful planning throughout the battle.
Change the Course of Battle
Specialty cards give players powerful ways to shape the battle beyond their Ships and Crew. Tech cards provide lasting upgrades that enhance Ships, add new capabilities, and reinforce long-term strategies. Protocol cards create immediate, one-time effects that can repair damage, manipulate the board, disrupt an opponent’s plans, or open new tactical opportunities. Whether strengthening your fleet or steering a critical turn, specialty cards reward precise timing, thoughtful combinations, and careful use of resources.
