Miner Wars 2081 is a six degrees of freedom action-survival space-shooter simulation game produced by Keen Software House.

The story introduces the player to many types of missions: rescue, exploration, revenge, base defense, theft, transportation, stealth, search and destroy, pure harvesting or racing.

Miner Wars 2081 is an action-oriented game, set in a fully destructible and open-world environment, which remains persistent as players complete missions or play online with others.

Inventory and the way players use resources such as fuel, ammunition, oxygen, ore, and weapons is important when surrounded by dozens of warring factions.

[4] Development on Miner Wars began in 2002 as a side project by Marek Rosa, the founder and CEO of Keen Software House.

Originally planned for release in 2011, the production team continued to grow in 2010, and there are currently around 10 core developers both working internally at their headquarters in Prague, and externally in America.

Miner Wars 2081 is running on the VRAGE Voxel game engine built and tailored specifically for the title.
