Catharage description

Catharage

Catharage is a space tactics roguelite where you serve as the navigator and protector of the Catharage station—an enduring city in the void. Countless enemies push toward its downfall, and your task is simple to state and hard to achieve: venture into the unknown, grow stronger, and eliminate threats before they reach home.

Command a single ship, make every decision count

You pilot one large ship at a time, outfitting it with weapons and modules to fight, outmaneuver, or evade enemies. Explore space, take on missions for the station, and collect randomly generated loot that can be equipped for power or scrapped for currency. Every engagement is a risk: die and the run is lost—but return to Catharage in time and your earned rewards are secured.

Progress between runs

Credits and recovered resources fuel long-term growth. Use them to upgrade and unlock new ships, hire fleet members, or purchase one-time bonuses that help you push into harsher regions. Over time, you also gain access to global improvements that increase your overall capability while preserving the tense, run-based stakes.

Forge your fleet and discover powerful builds

  • 30 unlockable ships, each with distinct attributes and playstyles—from slow, heavily armored hulls to nimble glass cannons.
  • Three weapon types with multiple perks that alter behavior and enable new tactics.
  • Find modules with passive stats or active abilities such as microwarp drives, cloaking devices, and EMP blasts.
  • Loot comes in multiple rarities, from scrap-worthy to run-defining, with traits like scaling damage and set bonuses.

Every run is different

Variance isn’t just in loot—your route and encounters reshape each expedition. Choose an early engineering upgrade to turn a weak corvette into a brawler, or discover a forge that transforms a lumbering battleship into a nimble kiter. You might arrive to scavenge a battle’s aftermath—or jump into a gas cloud that strips armor and turns an easy fight into a desperate escape.

Atmospheric pacing, tactical intensity

Catharage is slow-paced but punctuated: exploration can be serene, and combat can become overwhelming in seconds. Success comes from preparation and knowledge—learning enemies, systems, and strategy is the key to mastery and survival.
