Helium Rain is released !

After a year in Early Access, Helium Rain is now publicly available as a full-fledged Steam game ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1oAKZwCSxSY This release is meant to be a smooth transition. No change in pricing is occurring, all game saves since we released into Early Access are still compatible. Take a look at the forums if you have questions or issues.

If you're a returning player, you should find that the game has changed quite a bit since the first days of Early Access !

Bug patrol

The game itself has been unchanged since 1.1.4, but we'll still be on the lookout for bugs. Please report all issues you find in the game on on our public bug tracker, or on the Steam forums, so that we can investigate quickly and remove the problems.

Four years ago...

We hope Helium Rain can be a great experience for you. We have been working for more than four years, trying to build a game that would be the perfect blend of strategy and action, with a pinch of realistic elements. Here's what the game was looking like, exactly four years ago. I think we've come a long way here ! Building a game is a huge, though rewarding, project. I hope we succeeded in making the game we wanted to make - one that has fun action and deep strategy gameplay.

Thank you for reading, thank you for being a part of this adventure, and have fun !

Helium Rain is a single-player space simulation that places you at the helm of a spacefaring company. Exploration, trading, station-building, piracy are all options. You will need to master both real-time action and long-term strategy: destroying a freighter has a direct impact on the economy, while declaring war will make your spaceflight environment slightly more hostile...

12 playable ships with weapon and engine upgrades
Play fighters, bombers, cargos, corvettes or capital ships.
Realistic economy model
Take advantage of an accurate simulation of space trade to be the most competitive company. If diplomacy fails, blockades are in order.
Fast-paced combat with a Newtonian flight model
There is no speed limit in Helium Rain. You can fly at half a mile a second while aiming backwards !
Localized damage model for spacecrafts
Aim for critical systems in order to disable ships, kill their crew or capture targets.
Procedural contracts, world exploration, technology upgrades
Pick contracts and build your empire.
