Kasedo Games and Tesseract Interactive are delighted to announce that the chance for gamers everywhere to save humanity has arrived, as Excubitor is now available worldwide on Steam.
To mark the launch, a new trailer demonstrating the exhilarating and explosive gameplay has been released:
Developed by Tesseract Interactive, players will be thrown into an epic struggle for survival at the helm of the Hammerhead, a defence craft tasked with preventing the destruction of its mothership, Antares, and the impending end of humanity.
Since Excubitor was Greenlit on Steam in December 2014, the team of Tesseract and Kasedo Games have worked tirelessly to produce a game that will test all gamers, whether they are shoot ‘em up or strategy fans.
Excubitor also challenges players to think strategically and make decisions under enemy fire whilst piloting the Hammerhead to defeat the waves of incoming drones and colossal sized bosses.
Decisions on location, type and cost of each defence turret will shape the battles ahead as enemies of all shapes and sizes zero in on their target in the quest for total domination. Can they be stopped?

In 1935, Albert Einstein and Nathan Rosen predicted the existence of wormholes; shortcuts through space-time enabling instantaneous travel across vast regions of space. A century later, a discovery was made that turned their theory into reality – plunging mankind into an interstellar space race to claim the ultimate prize: the Voidshards.
The events of Excubitor are set in the year 2182, in a remote star system colonized by humans. At its heart is the Baphomet – a vast ‘hyper-giant’, a star over a thousand times larger than our own sun and one of the biggest stars known to humanity. Dozens, maybe even hundreds of planets orbit the giant star, with many more swallowed up as Baphomet grew larger during its stellar evolution. All around the system, a strange and powerful element is scattered across the many worlds. An element that could provide humanity with all the energy it will ever need. An element that takes the form of blue crystals known as the Voidshards.
