About Devouring Stars
https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/354230/extras/DescriptionBanner2.jpg
There are so many games set in space, willingly limiting their scope to new instances of Star Wars-style ships, blasters and myths. Devouring Stars is an attempt at expanding the horizon of "celestial" games, focusing on the eerie beauty and poetry of distant stars, blackholes and mysterious corners of our universe.
What if you could litterally unhook the stars? What if you could be a galactic-sized entity?
In Devouring Stars you play a tribe of godlike entities trapped in Tartarus, a corner of the universe as far beneath hell as heaven is high above the earth. Hunted by 4 other tribes, you have been given the ability to draw your own fate. But to what extent?
Devouring Stars uses a couple of unique mechanics to create a different experience on the RTS and space exploration genre. Your entities have the ability to "devour" starfields, creating dynamic nebulas that will protect them. There's no tech tree or building facilities in Devouring Stars: your entities are able to merge in order to create advanced units with special abilities. Depending on the set of entities you start the game with, you will be able to go for different strategies that will evolve during the game.
Devouring Stars is mainly inspired by Dan Simmons' Illium but also by games like Homeworld, Eufloria, Starcraft or Faster Than Light.

this game is now litteraly unplayable i dont know if its just me but it dosent even open1 found this helpful
I enjoyed playing for the first hour although the premise of the game is quite simple. But after that the game broke and wasn't displaying properly, tried reinstalling which didn't work. It could be something wrong with fullscreen or the resolution but when you can't select the settings menu because it's off the screen it counts as a game breaking bug. It seems the deveploers have no intention of fixing this as there is another reviewer who had this problem 2 years ago so BUY AT YOU OWN RISK1 found this helpful
When i first got this game it was working and was a great experience but it cannot open correctly to be played anytime but the very first time you open it because it can only open in full screen and the game opens off the bottom of the screen mostly cut off except for the top inch of the game.1 found this helpful
An incredibly fun and game with a very cool story and gameplay.
It was enjoyable.
I highly recommend this beautifully animated game. It's only downfall is some bug that made the full screen mode incompatible with my computer, hopefully this isn't the case for all computers
