Commandez une petite flotte pour capturer des unités et affronter l'armada alien qui menace votre système stellaire. Ce jeu de stratégie au tour par tour introduit des impacts d'armes différés, vous permettant de manœuvrer vos vaisseaux et de monter des défenses sur plusieurs tours. Utilisez des unités légères furtives pour repérer les ennemis, puis engagez les capital ships pour les achever, tandis que les carriers déploient des fighters via des bases avancées.
Gérez vos munitions et exploitez les forces des armes dans des campagnes rogue-like remplies de missions procédurales. Choisissez de capturer les vaisseaux endommagés au risque de tout perdre ou d'avancer en abandonnant les épaves pour couvrir les retraites, en utilisant les fighters pour ralentir l'adversaire. Les amiraux qui maîtrisent les tactiques évolutives, les champs de débris, les zones de brouillage et la planification à long terme entre les batailles s'imposeront dans ce titre indie Early Access sur PC.
You take command of a small fleet and capture or acquire more units in a race to destroy an alien fleet before they wipe out your star system.
The Darkest Star is a turn based strategy with a twist, in that some weapons take multiple turns to reach their targets. Giving you time to manoeuvre and defend.
It features stealth mechanics so you can use light units to scout and reveal enemy units before moving in large capital units to finish the job.
Carriers can launch and recover fighters allowing your fleet carrier to stage fighters through forward bases.
Resources like ammo means choosing your targets wisely and knowing the strengths and weaknesses of the weapon systems in the game so as not to waste precious missiles and ship hulls.
The battles focus on leading your fleet. This is game about taking the role of an admiral, looking at the big picture and making the hard decisions.
Rogue-like Campaign
Mixed with a rogue-like campaign. Each campaign contains procedurally generated missions & you will have to choose whether to risk capturing and reactivating ships in battles to grow your fleet or to just fight your way through to the next mission.
Make tough decisions; will you leave your crippled battle ship behind to cover your retreat while low on ammo or use fighters to harry and slow the enemy just long enough to get everyone to to the jump point?
You will have to think not just about the current battle but the next one.
Turn Based with a twist
Missiles and fighters in The Darkest Star operate over multiple turns much like other ships. This creates an ever evolving tactical situation for you to deal with. Manoeuvring larger ships will be slower so thinking ahead will be key to victory.
Weapons can create debris fields or areas of jamming that persist from turn to turn, these can be exploited by drawing enemy units or missiles into them.
Detonating ships cause damage to nearby units.
We wanted to create a game that gave you time to think but where decisions had a longer reach than a single turn or even a single mission.
