With sixty customizable ships that persist between missions, destructible ship systems that reward precision targeting, and physics-based interactions like ramming and asteroid collisions, it delivers a unique blend of deep tactical gameplay and immersive 3D space warfare.

NOW INCLUDES THE NAN CAMPAIGN!

One hundred years from tomorrow...World War IV has started! Will you join the United Star Force to defend Earth and its colonies from the relentless attacks of the Non-Aligned Nations?

PROTECT THE SKY!

Key Features:


  • Full 3D Turn-Based Tactical Combat

    Ever wanted to feel like you were really in space making strategic decisions that control the life and death of your fleet? Control the heading (yaw), pitch and roll of massive starships as you stategize your next move in a fight amongst the planets and moons of our star system.
  • Intense Single Player USF and NAN Campaigns

    Play through two exciting and immersive single player campaigns with fifty missions each as you fight amongst beautifully rendered planets in our star system.
  • Freeplay Skirmish Mode

    Brush up on your tactical skills as you play against the AI or a human opponent (shared mouse and screen experience).
  • You own your fleet

    Be careful not to scratch the paint on your space fleet! Destroyers, Stealth Ships, Littoral Combat Ships, Cruisers and Carriers all persist from mission to mission in a SpaceDock where you requisition, inspect, repair, upgrade and decommission your forces. In addition, you can choose colors for your fleet!
  • \Ship's Systems matter/b]

    Aim for a ship's turrets to take away it's destructive capability. Aim at engines to diminish speed. Or just pound on the hull until the ship is destroyed! You choose your tactics!
  • Physics come into play

    Ships are hit by weapons and go into a roll. Plasma weapons impact asteroids and send them hurling off toward enemy ships. Ships can ram each other and cause catastrophic damage.
  • Soundtrack by David Arkenstone

    David Arkenstone, three time Grammy nominee and composer of music for World of Warcraft: Cataclysm brings his sensational talent to bear on Starlight Tactics, with musical themes to accompany every battle.
  • Quotes from Beta Testers:

    "In terms of turn based tactics this is very unique. This is the first one of its kind to use 3 dimensions that I know of for movement and placement, and it works and functions very well. In fact this is the only true 3d strategy space game that I can think of since Homeworld movement-wise."

    "The details are great, especially with the battle. Keep up the good work!"

    "I ABSOLUTELY LOVE that I can ram, and/or fire upon my fellow ship(s) if I am not careful."

    "The concept of the game is great."

    "Saw you guys at PAX and played on the Android build. Lots of cool details and a great simulation of 3D space combat."

Utterly godawful controls. If you're an octopus with some kind of mental and physical disorder, you may enjoy this game. Otherwise, the most basic of functions has been ridiculously overthought, and implemented terribly.

I am 32 years old. My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old. When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand I desperately needed to ensure I could continue providing. Upon learning the severity of the self-inflicted damage, I became almost suicidal. Keep in mind that just a few months before this, I was the happiest man, with no history of depression or anxiety. I had never experienced anger outbursts, nor was I the type to break down and cry, but I was in a tough situation that truly prevented me from seeing the light on the other side. With nothing better to do, I looked for a game I could play WITH ONE HAND while recovering. Somehow, I stumbled upon this game and read some of the comments. I decided it was worth a try... I must admit I didn't beat the game, nor did I play as much as some of y…

This wasn't anything like I expected, but it's a pretty good game. The graphics are pretty cool, and I love the upgrades you can buy. It's a bit of a challenge moving your ships into position to fire without missing the fire arc and making yourself a target. But I've grown to like that challenge.

Some good concepts. But there is no plot, boring game design, too repetitive gameplay.

The game is boring and the visuals when ever you fire the camera just looks off into space.
