About

After Earth Fall

Features
Read full description

Earth has fallen. What remains of humanity is moving outward - through damaged orbital infrastructure, hostile sectors, debris fields, and places that were never meant to become battlefields. You are one of the pilots still flying. After Earth Fall: Exodus is a story-driven sci-fi action game built around a five-act journey through space. Take control of your ship, survive enemy attacks, avoid environmental hazards, and push deeper into a story where every new sector reveals another piece of what happened. Fight Your Way Forward Face different types of enemy ships, drones, missiles, and other threats, each forcing you to change how you move and fight. Survive the Environment Not everything trying to destroy you is an enemy. Asteroids, orbital debris, damaged infrastructure, and other obstacles turn space itself into part of the battlefield. Follow the Story The campaign unfolds across five acts. Mission by mission, intercepted signals, discoveries, and black-box records reveal more about the evacuation from Earth — and about the systems that were supposed to protect humanity. Keep Moving The goal is simple: Survive the next encounter. Reach the next sector. Find out what is waiting ahead. Humanity left Earth behind. The journey is only beginning.
