ASTRAL

A future where the GRD corporation runs expeditions, studies space and extracts resources. To prepare a foothold for humans, it sends autonomous robots to extraterrestrial facilities in advance.

The player embodies such a robot. The action takes place at a secret station somewhere in space and in other locations, both on Earth and beyond it.

ASTRAL is a first-person shooter in a futuristic setting, currently in early access. The player controls a robot and fights enemies in different locations: on Earth and on remote extraterrestrial stations. The game was released in January 2026 and is made by the studio GURACORP, and in tone it is clearly a project by people who simply love machines, weapons and robots. The story began around 2022, when the author opened Unreal Engine and decided to bring his ideas about the future to life. Only a few people helped with the project, and this shows in the coherence of the concept: no attempt to be everything to everyone, only science fiction and shooting. The world of the game is built around the GRD corporation, an intergalactic company that carries out expeditions, scientific research and resource development in space. Autonomous robotic units land on advanced extraterrestrial facilities that were built in advance, before humans arrive. These facilities show how confident the corporation is, and the player walks through them as a mechanical fighter. Special attention is given to weapons. In the arsenal you can assemble your own set from many modules and pieces of equipment, and the number of possible combinations runs into the thousands. This leaves room for experimentation if you like putting together builds for your own style. There is one mode: a single-player game. It has stereo sound, volume control by group and Family Sharing. Since the project is in early access, you should not expect it to be complete: content and mechanics may change, and the final scope may differ from what is available today. It suits those who are interested in a small, author-driven science fiction shooter with a focus on weapons.
