Introduction
Stellar Assault is a gripping and atmospheric browser space combat game that sends you on a legendary solo mission across the furthest reaches of the galaxy as a lone, elite assassin tasked with eliminating the most dangerous targets in the cosmos! Before launching into the stars, choose your combat vessel from four distinctly different spaceships — the razor-fast Interceptor built for agile hit-and-run strikes, the heavy-hitting Destroyer designed to absorb punishment and deal devastating firepower, the enigmatic Elusive Phantom that blends stealth and speed for surprise attacks, and the colossal Dreadnought whose overwhelming weapons systems make it the ultimate instrument of galactic destruction. Each ship handles differently and rewards a unique playstyle, making every mission feel fresh depending on your chosen vessel. Navigate treacherous star systems, engage relentless enemy fleets, and eliminate every target standing between you and galactic supremacy — completely free and instantly playable in your browser!
How to Play
Select your spaceship at the mission start screen, then launch into the galaxy and begin your assault. Navigate your chosen vessel through enemy-controlled star sectors, dodging incoming fire and obstacles while targeting and destroying enemy ships, installations, and mission-critical targets. Each spaceship has its own unique weapon systems, speed, and durability profile — learn the strengths and limitations of your chosen craft and use them strategically to survive the relentless enemy onslaught. Destroy all designated targets in each sector to advance deeper into the galaxy and face increasingly formidable enemy forces on your legendary journey as the ultimate galactic assassin!
