Previously available as a Patreon-exclusive development build, Captain Hardcore has finally landed on Steam. The current "version 0.23" represents the game's largest update ever, expanding the sandbox with more environments, clothing, and the first story mission. This early access version for PC and the full Quest standalone version are still available on Patreon for supporters, who will receive updates slightly before the general public.
While the sandbox is the main draw, the game now includes a full narrative. The "Broken Core" is the first main story mission, introducing you to your AI, SASI, your crew members, and the antagonist, the seductive space queen Nova Celestia. There's also an Arena Trial Mode, a wave-based combat mode on Planet X that adds an element of action to the experience.
By following this guide, you can safely and successfully download, install, and optimize Captain Hardcore on your PC. So suit up, captain—your ship awaits. The galaxy is dark, the missions are hot, and the Ultimate Pleasure Device is out there, waiting to be found.
