About Hades' Star
Build a space empire across a persistent galaxy by colonizing planets, establishing trade routes, and researching alien artifacts while managing your own star system. Battle other players in time-limited star events ranging from intense 5-minute dogfights to epic 5-day corporation wars, each offering unique rewards and strategic depth.
These are the star types discovered so far:
Yellow Stars
As the most stable star type, the Yellow Star offers a perfect setting to establish your permanent presence and plan your Empire's long term economy. All new players start in their own Yellow Star system and over time expand to discover and colonize more planets, set mining patterns, establish trade routes and neutralize the mysterious alien ships found throughout the Hades galaxy. As the owner of a Yellow Star system, you have complete control over what other players have access to it. By establishing diplomatic relations, you can allow any other player to send ships to your system, and dictate your own terms for mining, trade or military cooperation.
Red Stars
Very early in the game, every player will build a Red Star Scanner, a station that allows them to jump ships to detected Red Stars. These stars have a small lifetime and will go supernova after 15 minutes.The goal in the Red Star is to co-operate with any other players that have ships in that star system, defeat the NPC ships, retrieve Artifacts from the Red Star planets, and jump back before the Supernova. Artifacts can be researched in the home star and will yield necessary resources for trade, mining and combat advancements. Higher level Red Stars offer more challenging enemies and better rewards.
White Stars
Players can organize in Corporations. Besides helping each other, Corporations can also scan for White Stars. A White Star sees up to 40 players from two Corporations battle in the same star system for Relics, a resource that can be retrieved to upgrade the Corporation and give each member additional benefits.Time passes by very slowly in White Stars: every match lasts for 5 days, giving Corporation members time to talk and coordinate their strategy. The Time Machine can be used to plan future moves, communicate them to other Corporation members, and see potential outcomes of future combat.
Blue Stars
These short lived stars only last for 5 minutes, during which the entire system is collapsing on itself. Each player can only send a single Battleship to the Blue Star. The 5 participating players combat each other, using their ship's modules and other NPC ships to destroy the other player ships and be the last one alive.Blue Stars offer the fastest PvP action in the game. Regular participants receive daily and monthly rewards to advance their Empire.

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Hades' Star, developed and published by Parallel Space Inc., is an unusual blend of MMO, strategy, and empire-building mechanics that deliberately moves at its own pace. Instead of overwhelming players with constant battles or demanding daily commitments, it presents a persistent galaxy where progress is measured over days, weeks, and even months. This slower approach gives the game a distinct identity among space strategy titles, rewarding patience and long-term planning rather than reflexes. From the moment players establish their first colony, the game conveys the feeling of building something that will continue to evolve long after a single play session ends. The core experience revolves around managing a personal Yellow Star system. Players colonize planets, expand industrial infrastructure, establish shipping routes, and unlock technologies that steadily transform their modest beginnings into a thriving interstellar network. The game's economy is surprisingly intricate, requiring a careful balance between credits, hydrogen production, and artifact research. Every upgrade contributes to a larger sense of progression, making each newly colonized world feel like a meaningful ac…2 found this helpful
Hades' Star is a space strategy game that takes a slower approach than most space games I have played. I start with a small empire and gradually expand it by colonising planets, building ships, researching technology and setting up trade routes. The interesting part is that the galaxy keeps going whether I am actively playing or not, but I am not expected to sit there for hours at a time. I can check on my empire, make a few decisions and come back later to see how everything has developed. That slower pace suits the game really well. The economy is probably the part I enjoy the most. I have to think about mining, shipments, trade routes and planet upgrades while making sure I have enough resources for whatever I want to build next. My ships are split between different jobs too, with combat ships, miners and transports all having their own purpose. I can also equip ships with different modules, so there is some room to specialise them depending on what I need. It is not an incredibly complicated economy, but there are enough things happening that I feel like I am actually managing an empire rather than just collecting one currency. The different star systems are what give the gam…1 found this helpful
average mobile game gameplay
proabaly fun
Fun and difficult.
Playing with level 300s and others on a blue star isn't fair to anyone yet the game constantly pairs us with them spoiling the fun of the game, Other than this, the game is enjoyable but I don't feel that the developer cares as this is a widely reported issue and always has been. Love the game but the bluestars match making is not fair, And according to the servers suggestions from over 30 days ago, the issue is still not fixed.
