Numizmatic, the award-winning independent game studio based in Toronto, Canada, has officially announced the release date for their much-anticipated game, Astronomics. Set to launch in Steam Early Access on February 10, 2025, this top-down action, space exploration, and resource automation adventure promises to deliver a unique gaming experience.

In Astronomics, players will assume the role of an independent contractor navigating the vast expanses of the asteroid belt. The game combines thrilling top-down action with the complexities of space exploration and the strategic demand of asteroid mining automation. Players will embark on a mission to gather resources, fend off pirates, and ultimately accumulate enough wealth to purchase a ticket back to Earth—a planet they've never set foot on.

Game Features Include:

• Top-Down Action: Players will manually pilot their shuttle and control their bot in a dynamic, physics-driven sandbox. Challenges include jumping over chasms, tossing resources, and defending against pirate attacks.

• Space Exploration: The mining claim stretches 600 KKM wide and is infinitely deep. With each venture, players will discover new types of asteroids and encounter corporations that offer new equipment, upgrades, and contracts.

• Asteroid Mining Automation: Each asteroid presents unique logistical challenges. Players will need to construct infrastructure and deploy equipment to automate resource gathering and enhance efficiency.

• Micro to Macro Management: While players explore asteroids in a smaller shuttle, their Manufacturing Bay on the Freighter will continuously refine resources and produce goods to fulfill contracts.
