Void Runners

Void Runners is a twin-stick roguelike for one to four pilots, built for the couch: every pair of ships in your crew is joined by a beam that shreds whatever it sweeps, and where you fly relative to your crew is the decision the whole game is built around. It arrives on Steam in Q1 2027 - the store page is live now, wishlists are open, and no price is listed yet.

A note on the name: this site covers the Steam co-op roguelike from Aaron Reisman. Other projects share the name; none of them are this one.

What you do in a run

You fly a salvage raid through three sectors of four jumps, and the crew votes on the route between stops. Break wrecks for scrap, hunt marked elites for rare and epic parts, answer a distress call, tow a cargo barge home on your beams, or dock at a depot and spend your scrap on as many parts as it buys. Each sector fights you with its own field - drifting rock, ion storms that cut the web, gravity wells - and ends at a guardian: the Hive Carrier, Severance and the Leviathan.

Before you fly

• Crew size is 1 to 4, and the mix is flexible: two on the sofa and two at home is a valid crew.
• Controller support is full, and local co-op takes up to four controllers.
• Parts are picked at a refit table between jumps - one free each, one more bought with shared scrap.
• Going down is not the end: you eject in an escape pod and your crew flies over to bring you back.
• English only on the Steam listing, and no price posted yet.
