About

Take the helm of a massive fleet in this turn-based strategy RPG set among the stars.

Each campaign unfolds across distinct fronts where you’ll expand territory, destroy enemy forces, or negotiate uneasy truces. The tactical layer emphasizes ship roles and upgrades, requiring careful planning to outmaneuver opponents in large conflicts. Developed by Fair Weather Studios and released in 2017, the game distinguishes itself with deep fleet customization and campaign-driven objectives. While its sci-fi setting leans into classic space opera tropes, the focus on strategic depth over flashy visuals appeals to fans of methodical gameplay. With a runtime averaging 30, 40 hours per campaign, it offers a sturdy challenge for players who enjoy thinking several moves ahead.
