WHAT IS K3PESH?
K3PESH is a strategic fleet-combat game with RnG elements built
around positioning, tactical sacrifices and the
destruction of the enemy Homeworld.
There are 2 factions (Alliance and Pirates) and various
spaceship types with their own statistics (HP and Attack Damage)
OBJECTIVE
Destroy the enemy Homeworld or eliminate the
opposing fleet. Protect your own Homeworld while
creating attack lanes through enemy territory.
Do not leave spaceships hanging or obvious open lanes
to your homeworld!

FLEET COMPOSITION & RULES

special units may also enter the battle through
tactical cards.
SPACESHIP STATS & MOVEMENT

Tooltips can be disabled at any time using the On/Off button.
COMBAT CARDS
Tactical combat cards can dramatically alter a battle.
They may reinforce your fleet, provide defensive buffs,
modify units, disable enemy capabilities or introduce powerful
special units. The first tactical card is unlocked at Turn 20.
The second tactical card is unlocked at Turn 120. A third card may be unlockd at Turn 280.
Press your lead and end the game before the second round of COMBAT CARDS
or gamble your luck away!
