A studio that plays what it makes
We build Nova Expedition Path the way we want to play it — no dark patterns, no energy timers, no ads mid-battle. Every update is shaped by our Discord community and tested on real devices before it ships.
Offline-first
The full 40-hour campaign runs without a connection. Fly to the outback or the Blue Mountains and keep exploring.
No pay-to-win
Every ship, weapon, and crew member is earnable through play. Purchases are cosmetic or content, never power.
Living updates
A new content drop lands roughly every six weeks — fresh systems, story arcs, and community-requested tweaks.
Cloud cross-save
Start a run on your phone at lunch, finish it on your tablet at night. Progress syncs seamlessly across devices.
Choose how you explore
Start free and go as deep as you like. All prices are in Australian dollars, billed once through the App Store or Google Play — no subscriptions unless you pick one.

What captains are saying
Real reviews pulled from the App Store, Google Play, and our Discord. Names shortened for privacy.
Forty hours in and I still find hand-written log entries on derelict ships. The offline mode saved my last two flights to Perth.
Marcus T.Newtown, Sydney · March 2026Finally a mobile RPG that respects my time. No energy bar, no ads. I paid for the Founder’s Bundle just to support the team.
Priya R.Fitzroy, Melbourne · February 2026Co-op raids with my brother in Brisbane are the highlight of our week. The Void Rift bosses are genuinely tough.
Jordan L.West End, Brisbane · January 2026The Aurora update made my two-year-old phone look like a console. Cannot believe it still holds 60fps.
Amelia W.North Adelaide · April 2026Story branching is superb — my navigator died in a bad jump and the whole crew arc changed. Real consequences.
Daniel K.Surry Hills, Sydney · March 2026The devs actually reply on Discord. I suggested a colour-blind mode and it shipped six weeks later.
Sofia M.Subiaco, Perth · December 2025Frequently asked questions
Yes. The entire single-player campaign, all three factions, and offline mode are free with no ads. Optional purchases like the Nebula Pass and Founder’s Bundle add cosmetics and seasonal content, never gameplay advantages.
Nova Expedition Path runs on Android 9 and above, and iOS 15 and above. It is tuned to hold a smooth 60fps on mid-range hardware from 2021 onward, with a Battery Saver mode for older devices.
It does. Cloud cross-save links to your Google Play or Apple account, so a run started on one device continues instantly on another. You can also keep separate local saves if you prefer.
We ship a major content drop roughly every six weeks, plus smaller balance and bug-fix patches in between. Each season introduces new star systems, story chapters, and community-requested features.
The core game is a single-player RPG, but the Crew Co-op DLC adds online play for up to four captains. You can raid derelict capital ships and take on endgame Void Rifts together.
Absolutely — the full campaign is playable with no connection. Only cloud save, co-op, and the seasonal store require internet, and the game syncs your progress the next time you come online.
