DreadChase is a 6 degrees of freedom combat/stealth game set in space. You are protecting your warp-capable base from a massive hostile armada that is searching for you. If the hostile fleet gets close enough and detects your base then they will lay siege to it. To survive you must stay ahead of them, disrupting enemy outposts, stealing crucial supplies and trying to outrun their ships. Survive long enough and you may be able to identify vulnerabilities in the pursuing fleet! DreadChase is balanced by consequences instead of scarcity. Attacking hostile forces and structures in a direct assault can prove effective yet will provoke a dangerous response. Sneaking around with minimal thruster correction and disrupting subsystems can be equally effective though difficult to execute. DreadChase accommodates a wide range of playstyles in catering for both full covert and overt gameplay.

Description

A recent gameplay video showing infiltration of a hostile base using stealth tactics. When in stealth mode your ship is harder for enemy sensors to detect. The stealth field is degraded from continual thruster use and collisions so careful maneouvering really pays off. If the enemy craft lose track of where you are then they will go check your last known position before fanning out in search patterns.
Hostile ships have their movements co-ordinated by a strategic AI, so being spotted by a lone reconnaissance or interceptor unit will quickly lead to many hostiles converging on that area.

If you are spotted in the area then the hostiles realize that your base must be somewhere nearby and begin sending out larger search parties. It is possible to infiltrate and either disable or destroy hostile bases without firing a shot via hacking though it is very difficult to do so and remain undetected.
