Artificer is a top-down 2D space shooter for PC. It is a competitive shooter – multiplayer or single player – in an arena setting or with simple objectives (e.g. destroy or defend stations, and capture points). Freely customize your ship with the ship editor or build a completely new ship to your own specifications and watch your enemy crafts break apart and drift into space blown apart by a selection of plethora of weapons available to you. Manoeuvre and defend yourself with energy shield modules to ensure you do not share a similar fate, or even use warp capability to instantly transport from one part of space to the other. Engage in combat or form alliances. Populating the universe are factions as will as raider groups and pirates. Explore both populated and derelict space stations and bases finding new technology to add to your library for you to build.
Spawn screen now has a functional map where the player selects a station (like the icon in the center) to spawn at as will as the starting ship.
Ally ship icons also appear
