Usurper is an incremental space shooter built around taking control of your enemies. Seize enemy ships, command their firepower, and turn their weapons to your advantage. Collect alloy in battle, research technology, and combine unit abilities as you grow strong enough to take on new sectors and bosses.
Keep a target within capture range to gradually take control of it. Ships that once hunted you turn blue and join the fleet orbiting around you. Let Gunners keep firing, Wardens intercept projectiles, and Carriers launch attack craft. Build your own fleet from the enemy's ranks.
Controlled units can stay in formation to support you, or be activated to unleash their individual abilities. Launch a Dart, sweep through nearby enemies, charge your way out of danger, or drop bombs on a target.
Activation consumes a unit or one of its remaining uses. You decide which units to keep fighting at your side and which to spend on a breakthrough.
Invest the alloy you earn in the tech tree to capture enemies more efficiently, expand your formation, and improve each unit type's attacks and abilities. Unlock synergies between units and new ways to fight.
Even if a sortie ends in defeat, you keep the alloy you've earned and the research you've completed. Pick up the upgrades you need and try again.
Defeat the corresponding bosses to unlock 11 specialized forms. Continuously sweep through nearby enemies, launch your own charges, or become a Carrier and send out attack craft.
Choose your ship's form and starting unit separately before each sortie. Combine them with the units you capture in battle to try different mixes of offense and support.
From armored machines to towering fortresses with mechanical arms and carriers that keep launching squadrons, each sector has a different boss waiting to challenge you.
Dodge attacks, destroy components, and find openings. Use captured units to counter each boss's attacks and defenses. With stronger firepower from research and the right use of unit abilities, defenses that once held you back begin to crumble.
After completing the campaign, enter Endless Conquest to face increasingly powerful enemy waves and bosses, and continue researching endgame technologies.
Unlock form shifting to change mid-battle into your selected unit's corresponding form, provided you've already unlocked it. Research Nuclear Shift to trigger a wide-area blast when you transform. Put endgame technology to work for you.
Capture enemy ships and turn them into your fleet.
Command 11 unit types and mix their firepower and abilities.
Fight through 8 sectors and their bosses. Learn their mechanics and break through their defenses.
In fast-paced battles, keep units for support or activate their abilities to break out of danger.
Research technology and unlock new forms. Keep your alloy and research progress even after defeat.
Enter Endless Conquest after completing the campaign and research endgame technologies.
