Long description

Vessarion Galaxy is a multiplayer 2D space action RPG set in the Vessar Cluster, played in your browser and on your phone. The Ring is breaking apart. You join one of the cluster's four units, fit out your own ship and start hunting the Exile fleets in the Broken Belt. There is nothing to download and no app store: the game opens in the browser, and on a phone it runs full screen and in landscape once you add it to your home screen.

The game plays with one finger: tap empty space and your ship flies there; tap an enemy and the lasers and rockets in range open fire. Modules can be upgraded (tier-1 modules up to Lv15, tier-2 ones up to Lv20; tiers 3 and 4 have no cap), no ship or level has a requirement, and there are four active skills. The Career quests guide a new pilot step by step; the research tree, the Market (a player-to-player order book and the Black Market auction), drones, the Refinery, chat, friends, parties and Companies add depth.

The galaxy has sixty maps in three layers: each unit's own region of ten maps (the first three are safe), a shared region and deep space. Unit-versus-unit PvP starts at each unit's fourth map, and in deep space it is a free-for-all. Every hour the four units fight over five beacons on the Touchstone in the 15-minute Crown War; Wormhole and the Rift are wave and maze fights for the end game. Weekly rankings are open to everyone in the game and on the site. Vessarion Galaxy is in alpha: anyone with the link can play, it is free, and because this is a test period balance and content may change.

Logos

Use the dark background file on dark backgrounds and the light background file on light ones. You may use the logo in anything that talks about the game; do not change its proportions or colors, and do not suggest an official partnership. The text in the SVG files is drawn in the Bahnschrift typeface (a system font shows up if it is missing); if you want the letter shapes fixed, use the PNG versions.
