Devoid Prototype

About

Devoid Prototype casts you as a starship pilot navigating the Iarus Belt in a galaxy teeming with threats and resources. You can engage in combat, harvest materials, scavenge wreckage, trade goods, build weapons, or follow missions to advance. The game supports solo play or team up with a partner via split-screen co-op, letting two players share a cockpit while managing separate tasks or weapons. Combat feels tactile with responsive controls, and the open space environment encourages experimentation with different playstyles. The standout feature is the split-screen mode which adds a layer of coordination and teamwork to otherwise solo-focused space sim mechanics. Running on PC since August 2023, the game leans into its indie roots with streamlined systems that prioritize action over complex management. While not a deep sandbox, it offers enough flexibility in how you approach objectives to keep runs feeling varied. The lack of online multiplayer keeps the focus on local co-op, which works well for short sessions with friends.
