About Human Extinction Simulator

  • Tactical chess-like approach of space battles
  • Over 30 different spaceships with unique moves and weapons patterns
  • 34 missions ranging from large-scale battles to covert operations
  • Deterministic gameplay: No luck involved, only your skills

In 2312, first contact with the Navassian extraterrestrial species was established near the Deltria system. For 5 years we have been observing this warlike race while maintaining a wary diplomatic relationship. Growing tensions over ownership of the minerals of the Deltria system lead to the formation of the Unified Earth Defense Forces.

Facing overwhelming odds in a direct military conflict, the UEDF introduced the Halting Extraterrestrials Strategy, or HES, training program for all officers. The simulator presents likely combat encounters based upon observed Navassian tactical data from previous engagements. Recruits call this program the Human Extinction Simulator due to the extensive and often catastrophic scenarios depicted. While most find this amusing, some fear that it might be the actual name of the program.

Welcome to the meat grinder, Lieutenant.

Awful space strategy game. On tutorial levels nothing is explained. A ship would be 2 spaces in front of me and I couldn't shoot him for some inexplicable reason, so I just have to fly around next to him and get shot by him. Next attempt he was able to shoot me at an angle from 6 spaces away and I insta-died. Really well made. Apparently it only gets worse with nonsensical mechanics and stupid AI that is cheap and is strictly better than you, forcing you to replay entire missions because they always do perfect thing. Oh and windowed mode doesn't even work right, well done. Hilarious this game is priced at $20 with a game like rocket league, bc its not even worth 10. Thanks for cards I guess. 2/10.

Spaceships with clumsy moving and very inflexible firing arcs. I got annoyed and bored during the first two tutorial levels.

No explanation of where a ship will end up with what facing or any given ship can attack with any given facing. Very unintuitive, and the tutorial is absolutely worthless. Other reviews are spot on with their criticism - the mechanics make no sense and there is no explanation as to why anything works the way it does, despite whatever icons show up on a given hex. Avoid, it's mobile-tier garbage that shouldn't exist on Steam. Due to the way that the game works, this is basically a restart scenario simulator. Absolutely terrible gameplay design intended to waste your time. Plenty of better tactical space simulators out there. Hard pass.
