Dans un système solaire dévasté où la Terre gît en ruines et où les factions s'affrontent face aux menaces aliens, vous prenez les commandes du premier vaisseau d'un jeune aventurier. Une mission de reconnaissance révèle l'IA Ceres, déclenchant une intrigue centrée sur des objectifs remplis de combats spatiaux tactiques. Dirigez vos escadrons dans des batailles à la troisième personne via des ordres point-and-click, en déchaînant lasers, missiles ou attaques de piratage pour capturer les vaisseaux ennemis.
Gagnez de l'expérience pour développer vos compétences et débloquer des perks, recrutez capitaines et équipages qui progressent au fil des combats, et personnalisez des dizaines de types de vaisseaux - des corvettes aux cuirassés - avec modules, blindages et capteurs. Pillez les débris, échangez des marchandises, récupérez les épaves ou lancez des drones d'abordage sur les prises, au milieu de systèmes de dégâts avancés provoquant des pannes critiques. Ce RPG simulation indie action-stratégie séduit les amateurs de gestion approfondie de vaisseaux et de tactiques d'escadrons sur PC.
The solar system is ravaged. The Earth is gone, shattered to pieces. Nothing remains but a huge ring of rocky debris. Nobody knows why the Gate malfunctioned. It was built to connect our world to other stars, but only a handful of colony ships were sent away before disaster struck. The Gate is believed to have unexpectedly connected to the wrong star -one just going nova. Torrents of gravitational waves flooded our solar system and the Earth was immediately obliterated. The Gate then started connecting to random stars, spewing ashes from dying worlds, radiation from younger suns or even drawing in alien lifeforms. The solar system began to change.
Humans and their machines live on: pockets of civilization have gathered into warring factions. Many adventurers roam the cold wastes in their spaceships, defying death and perils unknown -there are countless tales of monstrous machines and alien creatures preying on hapless ships. Real menaces or mere fantasies ? Who can now part the myth from the ever-changing reality ?
In a world where humans, monsters and machine-gods fight for survival, something will eventually have to give. You play the role of a young adventurer, who just got his hands on his first spaceship, and is determined to make a name for himself. A routine scouting mission turns out to be something much greater when you encounter an A.I. called Ceres.
