The Game
Built in Collingwood for battles that fit your commute.
We started AstroBattleNews above a print shop on Easey Street with one rule: every match should be winnable in the time it takes to ride the 86 tram into the city. No pay-to-win walls, no 40-minute grinds — just tight, tactical fights you can pick up and put down.
Each season introduces a new star system, three fresh pilots, and a rotating ranked ladder. Progress carries across Android and iOS through a single free account, so you never lose a squad when you switch devices.
- Cross-play and cross-save between Android and iOS
- New season every eight weeks with fresh pilots and maps
- Fully playable free — cosmetics only, never stat boosts
Why Commanders Stay
Designed for short sessions and deep mastery.
Every system is tuned so a five-minute queue on the tram feels as rewarding as a ranked grind on the couch.
Live 4v4 Skirmishes
Drop into real-time matches with region-based matchmaking that pairs you with commanders on the same latency band. Most battles wrap inside six minutes.

Pilot Collection & Upgrades
Recruit from 60+ pilots, each with a signature ability. Level them through play, not your wallet — every pilot is earnable free through the season track.

Season Ranked Ladder
Climb from Cadet to Galactic Marshal across an eight-week season. Placement resets are soft, so a break never sends you back to square one.

Pilot Reports
What commanders are saying.
Reviews pulled from players across Australia and beyond.
“I play three matches on the tram from Collingwood to Southern Cross every morning. It respects my time in a way almost no mobile game does — I hit Galactic Marshal without spending a cent.”
