What is Asteroid Dominion?

Asteroid Dominion is a browser-based multiplayer space game with no download and no install — just sign in and fly into a galaxy that runs around the clock. There are no matches and no lobbies. When you arrive, hundreds of asteroids are drifting under gravity, AI ships are patrolling faction territory, and other players are mining, fighting, and building all at once.

Everything you earn sticks. Your ship level, your claimed asteroids, your turrets, and your standing on the leaderboard all carry between sessions, because this world is never wiped or season-reset. Choose a faction, upgrade your ship across eight stat categories, and decide whether you want to trade, fight, build an empire, or go rogue and answer to no one.

It is built by Sandbox Studios LLC, an independent studio shipping near-daily updates — "Where your game is never over."

Why you'll keep flying

One galaxy, endless ways to play it

Persistent 24/7 World

Log off and your ship and base are still ONLINE! Still flying, still firing — and still able to be destroyed. Log back in to see how they held the line without you. That's the real test of your defenses.

Three Factions, Three Playstyles

Side with the law or the traders — or go solo as an Outlaw. Each faction's signature harpoon ability rewrites how you fight, and the Bone Collector swarm hunts all three.

Mine, Refuel, Get Rich

Strip asteroids for materials and fuel in the same beam. Mining isn't downtime — it's how you keep your shields up and your hold full.

Build & Hold Territory

Claim asteroids and mount turrets that defend your space around the clock — they keep firing even while you're logged off.

Real-Time Combat

Dogfight players and AI with bullets, harpoons, and physics-driven ramming. Hunt the rotating bounty target for a huge XP payout.

Smart Autopilot

Set your ship to mine, patrol, defend, or build itself while you plan your next move. Every enemy runs the same brain — learn it and outplay it.


How to play

From never-played to flying in about a minute

Sign in with Google

One click, no install. Your progress saves automatically to your account.

Pick a faction

Concordium, Unbound, or Outlaw — each one plays differently.

Fly with four engines

Q E thrust forward, A D reverse; steer by thrusting one side harder. On touch, one thumb-stick flies and thrusts.

Mine your first asteroid

Switch to the mining laser with W, hold fire on a rock, and fill up on fuel and materials.

Fight and survive

Keep fuel in the tank so your shields stay up, and back off when a big hit forces a shield reboot.

Build and climb

Claim a rock, mount a turret, and chase the daily leaderboards. Read the full first-session walkthrough.


Choose your side

Three factions, three ways to fight — pick fresh every time you spawn

Concordium

South • The Law

Coordinated patrols who ARREST intruders — their harpoon locks an enemy's engine and weapons for two and a half seconds while the squad closes in.

Unbound

East • Free Traders

The economic faction. Their LOOT harpoon siphons enemy cargo while they mine, claim, and fortify the richest asteroids in the galaxy.

Bone Collectors

North • The Swarm • AI only

Sheer numbers. Their AI swarm is the largest fleet in the galaxy and their EAT harpoon gnaws health straight through shields.

Outlaws

West • Lone Wolves

No teammates, no rules, the highest XP per kill in the galaxy — and everyone is a target, including you.

Full faction breakdown & counter-strategy


Master the galaxy

Deep-dive guides for every system in the game

Combat

Three weapons share one slot, so every fight is about committing to the right tool. Master the fuel-to-shield loop and the rotating gold-ring bounty and you'll win fights you used to lose.

Read the combat guide

Mining & Economy

Everything you build starts with a rock. Eleven asteroid tiers pay out materials and fuel at once — bigger rocks are richer but far more dangerous to ram or shatter.

Read the mining guide

Building & Claiming

Turn materials into something nobody can loot: claim an asteroid for your faction and mount turrets that hold the line while you're away. Cluster on chokepoints to fortify a sector.

Read the building guide

Galaxy Events

The galaxy never holds still. Gravity swings between calm and storm on a nine-minute cycle, the Bonefall sends the Bone Collector swarm hunting every quarter hour, and the bounty reshuffles constantly. Read the rhythm.

Read the events guide

Leveling & Stats

Spend level-ups across eight stats to build a tank, a glass cannon, a mining rig, or a turret architect. There's no single right loadout — and your progress survives death.

Read the leveling guide

AI & Autopilot

Pick where to fly and what to do, and your ship handles the rest — mining, patrolling, defending, or hunting. Every enemy runs the same brain, so reading it is a real edge.

Read the autopilot guide

Controls

A four-engine flight model means steering emerges from thrust, not a turn key — odd for a minute, instinctive after a session. Full keyboard, mouse, and touch, all competitive.

Read the controls guide

Daily Highscores

Three daily contests reset at midnight UTC — most valuable kill, biggest single life, and longest survival — plus an all-time board that never resets. Champions are named each morning.

Frequently asked questions

Is Asteroid Dominion free to play?
Yes. It's free to play in your browser, supported by ads. An optional US-only subscription removes ads and starts with an 8-day free trial, but gives no in-game competitive advantage.
Why subscribe?
Subscribing removes the ads and starts with an 8-day free trial.
  • No ads. Ever.
  • Back in the fight 3x faster — 15 seconds after you're destroyed instead of 45.
  • Your seat is held. Sign off with nothing built and it's yours for 30 hours. Hold territory and it stays yours for as long as you hold it.
  • Skip the line. There's always a spot available for you when the universe fills up.
Subscribers get no in-game competitive advantage — the perks are about your time, not your firepower.
Do I need to download or install anything?
No. There's no download and no install. The whole game runs in your browser on desktop or mobile and loads in seconds. You sign in with Google and start flying.
Do I need an account?
You sign in with your existing Google account so your level, ship upgrades, and claimed asteroids persist between sessions. We only use it to identify your save — there's no posting to your account and no extra permissions.
Is it multiplayer?
Yes. The galaxy runs 24/7 with real players and AI ships mining, fighting, and building at the same time. There are no matches or lobbies — it's one continuous persistent world.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes. Phones and tablets get the same game and the same persistent galaxy as desktop, with full touch controls. Mobile play is leaderboard-competitive, not a cut-down version.
What makes it different from other browser games?
A persistent world that's never wiped, a four-engine flight model instead of twin-stick, and a faction system that changes how you fight rather than just your color. Server-authoritative physics also make cheating pointless.
