One fleet. A dangerous frontier. Every order is yours. Fleet Commander is a solo tactical space roguelite for iPhone and iPad. Choose your route, assemble a fleet build, and face rival commanders. Push deeper for salvage—or extract before the next battle ends your run. CHOOSE YOUR NEXT RISK Branching routes offer different threats, rewards, and battlefield conditions. Read the options and decide what your fleet can survive. OUTPLAY RIVAL COMMANDERS Choose Blitz, Flank, or Fortify with visible forecasts and trade-offs. Face commanders with distinct tactics and multi-stage showdowns. Battle receipts show what happened and why. BUILD YOUR COMBINATION Draft modules and protocols that change your options in battles and events. Adapt your build to the route ahead instead of relying on one answer to every threat. PUSH DEEPER. OR EXTRACT. Weigh the salvage you could win against the fleet you could lose. Bank your gains, manage scars and repairs, and prepare for the next sector. BRING YOUR LEGACY HOME Persistent reserves and fleet history connect your runs. Your choices shape what you carry forward. PLAY AT YOUR OWN PACE Single-player command, clear controls, and VoiceOver narration help you follow each decision and its consequences.
