Reassembly is a 2D open world space shooter PC game, created by video game developer Anisoptera Games. The game is available on Steam or from the developer's website via Humble Widget. Native versions are available for Microsoft Windows, Mac OS, and Linux.
Players build their ships out of various geometric pieces, including hull, armor, thrusters, weapons, shield projectors, and various other functional components. Each component gives a unique attribute or ability to the ship. Reassembly's creative, modular ship building has been compared to playing with Lego. The in game world is a single large open "galaxy", populated with rival factions. Players progress through the game by collecting resources, building a fleet, capturing territory, and activating damaged space stations.
It was released on February 19, 2015.

!!Tropes present in this game:
*AbsurdlySharpBlade: The Sentinels have an "Armor Spike" that deals increased melee damage, and since melee damage is calculated by the net momentum of collisions, a fast ship with a face made of spikes can plow through ''fleets'' or '''''entire asteroids''''' without slowing down. One can also make a melee spinner that, in the right circumstances, can be outright ''unstoppable''.
*ACommanderIsYou:
** '''Terran''': ''Balanced'' and ''Generalist''. The first faction you have available to play as in the vanilla game, the Terran faction has several different weapon and block types and are great for beginner players due. They are neither powerful nor weak weapon-wise, and have average durability.
** '''Farmer''': ''Balanced'' and ''Technical''. Possessing the largest variety of weapons out of the vanilla factions, Farmers can build a diverse fleet of ships and even have access to a seed launcher that produces small fast-growing plants for them to harvest.
** '''Red''': ''Spammer'' and ''Ranger''. They mostly consist of [[FragileSpeedster fast, fragile fighters]] with weak hulls and cheap below-average weapons. Despite their frailty, they have an accelerated [[HealingFactor block regrowth speed]], allowing to easily recover lost parts. Their strongest weapon is the Tempest, [[MoreDakka a 2400-RPM gatling gun]] with decent range.
** '''Tinkrell''': ''Elitist'' and ''Ranger''. The Tinkrell are large mobile [[GlassCannon glass cannons]] that have spinal-mounted projectile weapons that can be upgraded using specific modules. They also possess some laser and drone weapons for their stationary "ships".
** '''Crystalline''': ''Balanced'' and ''Brute''. A powerful faction with few weapons to choose from, but have extremely tough hulls and their missile launchers require no energy to function. However, they lack resource storage, and the only way to increase it is with their generator blocks, costing 60P each for 100 additional resource storage. If you want to design a Crystalline ship that can build 8000P ships (requiring at least 8000 resource storage capacity), [[CripplingOverspecialization you'll have to sacrifice a decent chunk of firepower.]]
** '''Bee''': ''Spammer'' and ''Unit Specialist''. Bee ships possess ''powerful'' short-range spinal beam cannons that can make short work out of most ships and asteroids. However, that means they have to get real close to their targets (and within range of their ''turreted'' weapons) in order to deal serious damage. They also have access to cheap PD turrets or laser drones that are [[DeathOfAThousandCuts themselves deadly in quantity]].
** '''Sentinel''': ''Elitist'' and ''Brute''. Possessing some of ''the'' most powerful individual weapons in the vanilla game, as well as compact and durable armor, the Sentinels are a very tough faction. Their turreted weapons do somewhat decent damage but fire very slowly, but they have access to a launcher that fires a large nuclear drone that creates a powerful explosion capable of taking chunks off of enemy ships or outright destroying their command module directly.
*ActionBomb: Since even ''missiles'' have their own AI, they qualify for this trope. The Sentinels' "[[NukeEm Nuclear Option]]" is a notable example, since it's a missile with a small PD turret.
*AnotherSideAnotherStory: You can play as different factions, each with their own palettes and capabilities.
*AttackDrone: Drones are miniature "spaceships" spawned by a launcher block and attack enemies.
*BattleDiscretionShot: Agents will flawlessly destroy any of your stations they come across, unless the agent itself is onscreen.
*CheckPoint: Any of your ships with a factory function as a Check Point if your ship is destroyed. However, ships in "enemy territory" are considered unsafe and cannot be used as checkpoints. You'll respawn at the nearest viable spawn point.
*CommandAndConquerEconomy: Resources originate from plants, and are the primary way to build more ships from factories, or trade with stations for credits. Clearing a sector from enemies allows you to access the plants' resources yourself as long as the plants have something to attach to.
*ControllableHelplessness: Unless your Command module has weapons or a may to move around, losing all your weapons and thrusters will allow the attacker to easily finish you off, but you can still look around your environment.
*ColorCodedArmies: [[AllThereInTheManual "Similarly colored ships are allies.]] [[LampshadeHanging Everyone else is hostile."]]
*ContinuingIsPainful: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]; You lose a few credits and any resources you were carrying at the time when your ship is destroyed. However, any surviving ships in your fleet may continue to fight without you, but if the nearest viable station is very far from where you exploded...
*EasyCommunication: Ships in your fleet will follow you intelligently and can be set to either attack your target, stop attacking, or simply ShootEverythingThatMoves.
*EnemySummoner: A hostile spaceship or station with a factory can produce more spaceships given enough resources.
*HarmlessEnemy: The Farmers have a default ship called the "Mouse". It has only 10 blocks total: its command module, four isosceles right triangle hull blocks (two on each side of the CM), and a thruster on the outer side of each of those hull blocks and a thruster on the back of the command module.
*HomingProjectile: Missiles that are launched physically from a launcher block have their own AI and can home in on enemies. Missile that lack this property are called "torpedoes", and torpedoes without thrusters but can explode are considered "mines". Missiles that lack the "exploding" property are called "drones".
*HealingFactor: Ships that lose parts will eventually grow them back over time while not under fire. The blocks themselves also passively heal ''extremely'' slowly.
*HealingHands: The Red and Farmer factions have a healing beam (the former also having healing drones) available to them, allowing them to repair damaged ships or (slightly) accelerate their growth.
*HordeOfAlienLocusts: The "Flies" are an [[NonPlayerCharacter unplayable]] faction of small ships that appropriately resemble flies. They can collect resources to rapidly multiply and can easily swarm smaller ships. [[GoddamnedBats They can be very difficult to eradicate completely]], because a single surviving Fly can quickly repopulate a sector and harass AnythingThatMoves.
*ImmobilePlayerCharacter: If your ship has no thrusters, you're basically a sitting duck. However, the Terran's basic Command Module ''does'' have the ability to move in a pinch.
*MagicallyIneptFighter: Crystalline ships can be built with missile launchers ([[DemolitionsExpert as their only weapons]]) and no generators, since the missiles require no energy to function.
*PointBuildSystem:
** To access more parts for your ships to be built with, you must spend "Social Credits", or "C", to "decrypt" those parts. You can't edit or play as spaceships with "encrypted" parts you did not unlock yet.
** The complexity of your spaceship is limited by your "Power Points", or "P". Most parts other than hull blocks cost a specific amount of P based on how powerful they are. You need to upgrade your max P directly in order to control larger spaceships, using the aforementioned "C". In the vanilla game, the max P value caps at 8000, but mods can increase that limit.
*WrapAround: Travelling across the edge of the map simply has you re-enter it from the opposite side.

Reassembly is a 2D open world space shooter PC game, created by video game developer Anisoptera Games. The game is available on Steam or from the developer's website via Humble Widget. Native versions are available for Microsoft Windows, Mac OS, and Linux.
Players build their ships out of various geometric pieces, including hull, armor, thrusters, weapons, shield projectors, and various other functional components. Each component gives a unique attribute or ability to the ship. Reassembly's creative, modular ship building has been compared to playing with Lego. The in game world is a single large open "galaxy", populated with rival factions. Players progress through the game by collecting resources, building a fleet, capturing territory, and activating damaged space stations.
It was released on February 19, 2015.

!!Tropes present in this game:
*AbsurdlySharpBlade: The Sentinels have an "Armor Spike" that deals increased melee damage, and since melee damage is calculated by the net momentum of collisions, a fast ship with a face made of spikes can plow through ''fleets'' or '''''entire asteroids''''' without slowing down. One can also make a melee spinner that, in the right circumstances, can be outright ''unstoppable''.
*ACommanderIsYou:
** '''Terran''': ''Balanced'' and ''Generalist''. The first faction you have available to play as in the vanilla game, the Terran faction has several different weapon and block types and are great for beginner players due. They are neither powerful nor weak weapon-wise, and have average durability.
** '''Farmer''': ''Balanced'' and ''Technical''. Possessing the largest variety of weapons out of the vanilla factions, Farmers can build a diverse fleet of ships and even have access to a seed launcher that produces small fast-growing plants for them to harvest.
** '''Red''': ''Spammer'' and ''Ranger''. They mostly consist of [[FragileSpeedster fast, fragile fighters]] with weak hulls and cheap below-average weapons. Despite their frailty, they have an accelerated [[HealingFactor block regrowth speed]], allowing to easily recover lost parts. Their strongest weapon is the Tempest, [[MoreDakka a 2400-RPM gatling gun]] with decent range.
** '''Tinkrell''': ''Elitist'' and ''Ranger''. The Tinkrell are large mobile [[GlassCannon glass cannons]] that have spinal-mounted projectile weapons that can be upgraded using specific modules. They also possess some laser and drone weapons for their stationary "ships".
** '''Crystalline''': ''Balanced'' and ''Brute''. A powerful faction with few weapons to choose from, but have extremely tough hulls and their missile launchers require no energy to function. However, they lack resource storage, and the only way to increase it is with their generator blocks, costing 60P each for 100 additional resource storage. If you want to design a Crystalline ship that can build 8000P ships (requiring at least 8000 resource storage capacity), [[CripplingOverspecialization you'll have to sacrifice a decent chunk of firepower.]]
** '''Bee''': ''Spammer'' and ''Unit Specialist''. Bee ships possess ''powerful'' short-range spinal beam cannons that can make short work out of most ships and asteroids. However, that means they have to get real close to their targets (and within range of their ''turreted'' weapons) in order to deal serious damage. They also have access to cheap PD turrets or laser drones that are [[DeathOfAThousandCuts themselves deadly in quantity]].
** '''Sentinel''': ''Elitist'' and ''Brute''. Possessing some of ''the'' most powerful individual weapons in the vanilla game, as well as compact and durable armor, the Sentinels are a very tough faction. Their turreted weapons do somewhat decent damage but fire very slowly, but they have access to a launcher that fires a large nuclear drone that creates a powerful explosion capable of taking chunks off of enemy ships or outright destroying their command module directly.
*ActionBomb: Since even ''missiles'' have their own AI, they qualify for this trope. The Sentinels' "[[NukeEm Nuclear Option]]" is a notable example, since it's a missile with a small PD turret.
*AnotherSideAnotherStory: You can play as different factions, each with their own palettes and capabilities.
*AttackDrone: Drones are miniature "spaceships" spawned by a launcher block and attack enemies.
*BattleDiscretionShot: Agents will flawlessly destroy any of your stations they come across, unless the agent itself is onscreen.
*CheckPoint: Any of your ships with a factory function as a Check Point if your ship is destroyed. However, ships in "enemy territory" are considered unsafe and cannot be used as checkpoints. You'll respawn at the nearest viable spawn point.
*CommandAndConquerEconomy: Resources originate from plants, and are the primary way to build more ships from factories, or trade with stations for credits. Clearing a sector from enemies allows you to access the plants' resources yourself as long as the plants have something to attach to.
*ControllableHelplessness: Unless your Command module has weapons or a may to move around, losing all your weapons and thrusters will allow the attacker to easily finish you off, but you can still look around your environment.
*ColorCodedArmies: [[AllThereInTheManual "Similarly colored ships are allies.]] [[LampshadeHanging Everyone else is hostile."]]
