Space Hell

Space Hell is a hardcore space MMO built for players who thrive in risk, reward, and unforgiving PvP encounters. Every decision matters — whether you’re mining dangerous asteroid belts, hauling precious cargo through contested zones, or hunting other players for profit.

We’re in early playtesting right now, which means you’ll experience the foundations of the universe — combat, mining, travel, and progression — while knowing that systems, balance, and features are actively being developed. Bugs, placeholder art, and missing polish are expected at this stage, but your feedback will directly help shape the future of the game.

✔️ Space Stations & Social Hubs – Dock, refit, and interact with other players in persistent hubs.
✔️ Mining & Resources – Harvest asteroids for valuable Crelyte and other resources.
✔️ NPC Combat – Hunt AI enemies for loot and Telemetry.

✔️ Player Progression – Earn XP through PvE, upgrade your ships, and expand your fleet.
✔️ PvP Zones – Open systems where players can fight for resources and dominance.
