Driftbound: Idle Space RPG

About

Mine, craft, trade and battle across a living galaxy. Offline idle space RPG.

DRIFTBOUND - command your ship, build your fortune, and drift ever deeper into a living galaxy. Driftbound is a relaxing idle / incremental space RPG. Pilot a single ship through a vast procedural universe - mining, crafting, trading and fighting your way from the safe core worlds out to the lawless rim. Progress never stops: the simulation keeps running while you're away, so every time you return your holds are fuller and your credits have grown. Buy it once and play. No ads, no pay-to-win, no subscriptions, no account required - just you, your ship, and the long haul. ▶ THE LOOP • Mine asteroid belts, harvest gas clouds, refine ore and fabricate components. • Scan deep space to uncover hidden anomalies and rare salvage. • Buy low and sell high across a simulated, station-local economy where distance creates real trade routes. • Take haul contracts and bounty work from the bulletin board. ▶ UPGRADE YOUR SHIP • Fit six module slots — engine, cargo, mining laser, weapons, missiles and shields. • Multiple module tiers, a perk tree, and rare gear earned far out in the deep. • Every upgrade earns faster — the classic idle engine of "earn → upgrade → earn faster." ▶ EXPLORE A HIERARCHICAL UNIVERSE • Galaxies → systems → bodies, all procedurally generated and seeded. • Plot courses across a gate network; autopilot flies the multi-hop route — even offline. • Security ratings fall the deeper you push: more danger, far better loot. ▶ FIGHT PIRATES • Idle ship-to-ship combat with shields, weapons, missiles and auto-engaging batteries. • Resolves fairly whether you're watching live or away — no nasty surprises. ▶ COLLECT & RAISE SPACE PETS • Hatch rare eggs in a station incubator — incubation runs in real time, even while you're away. • Equip a companion for a powerful buff; rarer species trade higher highs for sharper trade-offs. • Feed your pet to level it up, and trade and collect across Space Farms. • Your pets stay with you — they carry through prestige. ▶ STASH, CRAFT & STARDUST • Bank overflow cargo in a Subspace Cache that keeps storing for you while you're offline. • Craft your own weapons and gear at the Workbench from the materials you gather. • Earn Stardust over time to rush hatches, skip warp cooldowns and more. ▶ A GALAXY WITH A STORY • Follow the main story campaign plus five faction questlines and side chains. • Earn pilot ranks, fill a persistent Codex, claim daily rewards and ride weekly galaxy-wide events. ▶ PRESTIGE & THE LONG GAME • Re-enlist to bank Renown and spend it at the Admiralty on fleet-wide perks that carry across every future run. ▶ BUILT FOR IDLE • True offline progression using the exact same logic as live play — return to a meaningful "welcome back" summary. • A single active action, a fixed-tick simulation: deterministic, offline-safe and fair. • Crisp pixel-art ships, worlds and stations; a calm cockpit-HUD interface. • Playable in 8 languages. Strap in, pilot. The drift is calling.
