In Forces of Ether you play as the Etherbound, a reluctant hero bound to the magical substance called Ether that permeates the Galaxy. The rest of humanity uses the Ether as a fuel source for technology, but only the Etherbound can unlock the true power that lies in it. And you will need all the power you can get to prevent the prophesied Collapse that is looming over the Galaxy. As you uncover more knowledge from the past however, the future becomes all the more uncertain as it follows directly from your choices.




Travel seamlessly from ground to space and back without a hitch in a truly interconnected Galaxy. Experience a one of kind top down procedurally generated open world that lets you navigate both the stars and the surfaces of planets.


Fight against numerous creatures, robots and human enemies across different environments. Learn and adapt to the fighting styles of adversaries from various planets. Then take to the skies and reach space to discover a whole new battle space against other hostile spacecraft pilots.


Throughout the story campaign you will be faced with choices that will affect your relationships with other factions as well as the ultimate Fate of the Galaxy. The various parties at play have opposing motivations and it's up to you decide which narrative to believe in.


War over the valuable Ether is already breaking. Any small settlement across the Galaxy has the potential to expand through force and become a star spanning empire. But only if they had the support of an Etherbound to aid their armies in ground and space battles.
