Steam Store description

In From Orbit you'll manage the crew of a small spaceship. Stranded deep in uncharted space, they need to make their way home. Journey from planet to planet, each procedurally generated with unique environments, challenges, and alien creatures. Explore Scout out the richest resources and the deadliest critters, and discover unique challenges and powerful artifacts. Extract You're going to need all the Ore and Crystal you can carry if you're going to mount a successful defense or purchase the upgrades you'll need to make it home alive. Excape Err... Escape. The resources on each planet won't last forever, but the alien creatures willing to bite your legs off never seem to end, eventually overwhelming even the most stalwart crew. Hold out as long as you can... but don't throw your resources - or the lives of your crew - away to a lost cause. Always be prepared to make a timely exit when things start getting hairy. Key Features Permadeath - If your crew does get eaten by aliens, or your ship is destroyed, that's game over. Procedurally generated - Each play through presents you with a uniquely generated region of space full of new planets, each with different benefits and risks. Pick up and play - Sure there are hordes of creatures out to get you, but From Orbit is still accessible to a broad range of players, even if you don't have much experience with RTS games, or find the complexity of mainstream RTS's off-putting. Set your own pace: rush headlong into danger, or set up your defenses and fortify your position. Planetary Environments - Arid deserts, frigid ice world…
