About Above the Stars

Battle wave after wave of heinous enemy ships. Tackle ruthless foes and fight to defend your planet and species from sure fire destruction. There to keep you company, your ever-upbeat (often inappropriately so) AI assistant, Mac.
  • Deploy a sprawling system of structures across the world to smite your foes
  • Level them up and then upgrade them even further with individual bonuses
  • Empower your ship itself to help tackle the endless hoards
  • Even get more ships and defend your world from every angle
  • Then, when the bad guys are rubble and the world is safe, take the Ark onwards

A whole bunch of intriguing worlds, unique structures, ever-changing enemies, and way too much terrible voice acting.

Your new home awaits, Above the Stars!

The voice acting is cute, the story amusing. The game is fine, but has some non-ideal gameplay elements (reset doesn't reset where the boss is, so the boss is the first wave). It's quite close to having a good incremental loop, but falls short in the end. The final 6 or so achievements require a day of grind, with not much payoff. In the end, it was amusing enough, overstayed it's welcome a bit, but certainly worth trying for the price of free.

Игра 'Above the Stars' - это восхитительное сочетание стратегии и медитативного геймплея. Идея строительства небесных городов, парящих в эфире, завораживает с первых минут. Постепенно раскрывающиеся технологические древа позволяют создавать собственные уникальные империи, а экономическая модель, хоть и не самая глубокая, достаточно увлекательна, чтобы держать в напряжении. Визуальный стиль игры поражает своей красотой и минимализмом. Плавные анимации и пастельная цветовая палитра создают умиротворяющую атмосферу. Музыкальное сопровождение прекрасно дополняет визуальный ряд, погружая в состояние расслабленного созерцания. Из минусов можно отметить некоторую однообразность в долгосрочной перспективе. После нескольких часов геймплея, темп развития замедляется, и игра может показаться немного монотонной. Хотелось бы увидеть больше случайных событий и разнообразия в игровых механиках, чтобы поддерживать интерес на протяжении всей кампании. В целом, 'Above the Stars' - это отличная игра для тех, кто ищет спокойную и красивую стратегию с оригинальной концепцией. Она не претендует на звание хардкорной игры, но предлагает приятный и расслабляющий опыт строительства и управления небесным …

Short sort-of-idler game with an actual story fully voice acted, the standard battle can be done with autopilot, but for the boss bottles the ai doesn't work. still, a fun little game
