Kinetic Void is a 2014 space simulation from Badland Studio that centers on ship construction. Players build vessels using a kitbashing system where individual components snap together, enabling procedural designs ranging from basic craft to intricate creations. Resource mining supports the building process while combat against AI ships provides combat encounters. The game includes workshop integration allowing players to test designs created by the community. Players describe the experience as atmospheric, challenging, and contemplative with a retro feel, noting that the kitbashing construction offers a distinctive approach to ship design. Kinetic Void retails for $9.99 on Steam where it holds a 16% positive rating from over 1200 reviews.

About Kinetic Void: Kinetic Void is a 3D space adventure with a focus on customization and enjoyable space simulation. The shipyard allows players to construct their ship piece by piece. Ships can be as simplistic as a cockpit, a hull, a engine and a gun, or as complex as a player wants.
