About Istrolid

✦ AI summary

Design and command your own custom spaceships in intense real-time battles where every component choice determines your tactical edge. Build your perfect fleet from scratch across a galaxy-spanning campaign, then prove your designs against other players and custom AI opponents in multiplayer warfare.

In Istrolid you design your own unique spaceships from a large number of parts to fit your strategy and play style. With no set units or factions you are free to create a fleet where each ship has its own balanced strengths and weaknesses, from basic fighters and bombers to hulking battleships and speedy destroyers.

Challenge your strategies and stretch your creativity, perfecting your spaceships' designs before taking them onto the proving grounds of battle. Jump straight into tense fights for territorial control where you maneuver your ships to best use their energy, ranges, firing arcs, turn rates and firepower.

Conquer an entire galaxy in the single player campaign, where you collect the parts you need to build bigger and meaner ships. Use them to defeat increasingly tougher and more complex opponents. Test the strength of your designs in multiplayer combat, fighting solo or with allies. Face custom AIs with their own fleet lineups or even design your own AI that fights by your side.

✦ AI summary

Istrolid is praised by players for its addictive gameplay, extensive ship customization options, and creative PvP combat that rewards understanding game mechanics. However, the main complaint is that the game has stalled development with no recent updates, and some feel the balance can be easily exploited, making progression trivial for those who know how to abuse the system.

Fast progression, many unexpected upgrades and parts for your ships. The game is easy to understand and get better at, the range of customization is nice and the ability to view exact stats of your ships is nice too.

Boltgun 2 price: buy the sequel, or the cheap first game?

The Boltgun 2 price has no cheaper route on launch day — our record shows one listing, unmoved since September. The first game is the bargain, but a smaller one than it was.

Planet Zoo 2 price: which edition, and when it gets cheaper
