Description

Release date: 2016

Stars in Shadow is a turn-based 4X science fiction strategy game. Explore the stars, settle distant worlds, and build an interstellar empire. Recover ancient technologies and negotiate with alien leaders. Created by a pair of passionate strategy gamers, Stars in Shadow features streamlined empire management, sophisticated turn-based tactical combat, and detailed world building.

FEATURES

Epic Scope:
Starting at the dawn of interstellar travel, progress through four eras of technological advancement. Discover the science of planetary terraforming, upgrade your infantry battalions to battle mechs, and grow your fleet from a squadron of destroyers to an armada of planet-destroying Dread Stars.
Stylized Setting:
A distinctive comic-book art style and an original, detailed universe backstory draw you into an immersive game world. Interact with a unique cast of alien characters, make friends and influence people, or crush your enemies and see them driven before you.
Focused High-Level Strategy:
Build a vast and varied empire, taking advantage of the unique traits offered by different alien populations and the worlds they inhabit. A streamlined resource and planetary improvement model keeps the game moving even when your empire grows large.
Deep Turn-Based Tactical Combat:
Face off against your opponents in complex 2D turn-based tactical battles. Counter your enemy’s missile barrage using point defense or interceptors, then close to energy weapon range! Stars in Shadow’s tactical engine includes several features rarely seen in turn based games. Multi-ship commands keep even large fleet battles fast-paced, and smart unit behaviors allow tight control with minimal micromanagement. Auto-resolve battles that are a foregone conclusion, while retaining the ability to replay any engagement to see exactly what happened.

Amazing and Great Job :D .
Do you translate the game ?

Hi malo: Yup, preorders will automatically get steam key, as soon as the game is available through steam.

Though as we say on the website, the preorder system is actually going to be taken down later this week, as part of our upcoming publishing deal. Anyone who preorders before Wednesday will get in under the old rules though.

If I pre-order on your website, will I still get a Steam key once you are past Greenlight?

sooo... when is this coming out on steam?

Shait 15 Jan, 2016 @ 3:23pm

It reminds me a lot of Master of Orion 2. MoO 2 along with X-Com Enemy Unknown were best scifi turn-based strategy games I ever played. I wish you good luck guys and hope you can make amazing game similar to MoO2. I'm looking forward to your game.
