Description
Defect allows the player to build the ultimate ship piece by piece, from the size of a single-pilot fighter to a space station the size of a small moon. Create devastating spacecraft capable of obliterating your foes, but keep in mind that your crew will defect, forcing you to face your own creation in battle. Offering unprecedented freedom of creation, players will build the most powerful ships in the galaxy with an easy to use tile-based building system, the game will feature hundreds of parts across three stylistic themes referencing sci-fi movies and shows from the 50's, 60's and 70's. How do you build the perfect ship to complete your objective, but also build in flaws that can be exploited later when your crew inevitably defects?
History
Early in 2013, after the release of their debut title 'Stunt Star: The Hollywood Years' on iPhone, iPad and Android, Three Phase Interactive began work on their next title 'Defect' ; a space ship based game that is a combination of ship building and action/strategy ship vs ship combat. In February 2015, Defect was Steam Greenlit in a week and in July it was successfully funded on Kickstarter. Defect will be release on Steam Early Access for PC/Mac on December 1.
