About Nomads of the Fallen Star
Set on a distant uncharted & hostile planet, where descendants of a crashed colony ship endure the harsh wasteland while hoping for salvation.
However, decades have passed without contact from the fleet and skirmishes between different factions over limited resources have escalated.
A full blown war of conquest looms on the horizon that could risk humanity's fragile existence on this harsh new world.
As the chaos approaches, you take the role as the leader of a rag-tag bunch of scavengers / mercenaries. Your goal is to scavenge, trade, sabotage, hunt, fight and help conquer your way to fame and glory.
Along the journey, you will meet allies that will join in the struggle to survive the wasteland, and perhaps together, you can unravel the mystery on the origins of the colony and change the fate of all those who call this barren world home.
KEY FEATURES:

KEY FEATURES:
- A world where your choices matters as the factions try to survive and wage wars of conquest.
- A highly dynamic economic simulation ensures not only your actions carry consequences and present new opportunities, but also the actions of various NPCs.
- Competitive gameplay that involves other free roaming NPC scavengers that fulfill the same role as the player. They can trade, scavenge resources, take on missions, and fight hostile raiders or xenos. Competition can be fierce, so beware!
- Mercenary contracts that carry consequences. Be it clearing raiders for a faction to help their economy grow, or sabotage their enemy's outposts to cripple their war capability.
- Recruit and equip your squad with many different weapons, each providing a unique balance and tactical options. Train their combat skills as they gain levels, and specialize them further with a selection of many perks.
- Hunt the xenobeasts on this hostile world and use their skin, carapace, and organs in crafting useful items and armor.
- A sandbox that is also character & story-driven, with an sci-fi story themed on loss, duty and personal responsibility, along with side-quests and random encounters.

The meat and bones of the game, the tactical combat, is very lackluster: No overwatch, no cover, no elevation, no terrain modifiers, no delaying action. The tactics is down to move-away-and-shoot if you're ranged, close-in-and-whack when you're melee, with the odd pop a consumable, in a barren 8x8 grid. If you're thinking this game to scratch your squad-, turn-based tactical game itch then don't. Maybe the game is great in the sandbox, trade, overland aspect of the game, but that's not why I got it.3 found this helpful
Really fun game. The turned-based combat is reminiscent of Battle Brothers, but the small party size and complexity of the fights require a well thought out plan. Admittedly, the trading can get a bit monotonous over time, but it took me a solid 12-14 hours of play before I started to pull back the reigns on my playtime. I highly recommend this game as something that is both unique and entertaining.2 found this helpful
Well it can be a grind! The game if harder than you would think, I look forward to any DLC or a sandbox add on!2 found this helpful
Repetitive and boring, difficulty mostly determined by random generated enemies. can make cash easy but nowhere to recruit others to your team. if you scavenge in front of another scavenge group they will chase you down the entire map from town to town and then beat your ace early game unless you give them half your cash and they are everywhere making scavenging almost not worth it. good early concept but needs LOTS of polishing.
Cannot recommend - bad UI. Bad bad bad bad bad UI.
I enjoyed playing this 'version' of Battle Brothers a lot until maybe the mid-game when the lack of variety, progression and story made the game a grind without reward. Maybe someone more determined than me could power through to the next level and victoryh
