Stellar Tactics is a nostalgic return to the excitement and wonder of classic RPGs with a compelling narrative, strategic squad-based ground combat, and rewarding open-world space exploration. Survival will require the most skilled team and the best weapons, armor, and equipment you can get your hands on. With 10,000 sectors, tens of thousands of solar systems, and millions of planets to discover, you can explore, fight, and trade to your heart’s content as you build a party of seasoned veterans to dominate the challenges of deep space.

You are a genetically engineered mercenary who is woken from cryostasis after your escape pod is rescued. It has been years since a disaster struck the colony ship you were stationed on. Much has changed in the galaxy. A disease known as Phage is mutating and slowly consuming worlds while the galactic powers fight for supremacy and control. You must assemble a crew and choose your path while navigating the intricate politics and dangerous foes you will meet in your travels.

Can you find the source and end the Phage before it consumes the entire galaxy? Will you choose one of the political powers with which to ally yourself or stay strictly a mercenary for hire? The choice is yours.

Stellar Tactics combines the turn-based combat of classic RPGs such as Fallout with space exploration in a massive open-world universe. On the ground, explore space stations, ancient ruins, caves, planetary bases and interact with a variety of characters - each with their own goals and objectives.

Engage in turn-based tactical combat against mutants, monsters, and hostile forces such as raiders, pirates, and scavengers, with every weapon having its advantages and disadvantages. Harness the formidable power of Psionics, and an ancient alien force - Azimuth. Build your squad from novice mercenaries into experts as you choose what skills they will specialize and excel in with a classless system where character skills improve as you use them.

Explore a vast universe of over 160,000 star systems where you can embark on missions; hunt pirates and raiders for bounties; scan planets for data, hidden locations, and valuable minerals; disable and board enemy ships; and mine asteroids for precious ores to make additional money and craft powerful gear.

I like it but feel the space combat needs improvement

games ok

A lot of ideas and almost completed features are really good and if it were polished, I would recommend the game. But as of the release, the animation and UI is so clunky that I cannot recommend this game. It feels like this whole game was designed with the idea that everything is moving through syrup. This game is too ambitious with what it wants to do that it doesn't do anything that well or is needlessly complex. I sincerely hope that the dev designs a new game with a lot more polish and streamline several of the features.

I bought the early access for this game years ago. At the time I noticed it was in very early development, so forgot about it. This was almost 10 years ago. Now I look back and there are still updates and even 1.0 has been released! I've played a few hours so far and not perfect but definitely a good game so far. Its such a treat to see early access projects actually deliver like this. Good job Devs!

It scratches muh kenshi itch, could use more outfits though, and penalties for death.
Not recommended Jul 6, 2026
The games unplayable for me sadly. It launches and lets me create my character and assign skill points but whenever I then click to launch the game it shows me a loading screen and just white screen & crashes. A shame really, I was looking forward to playing this. I actually spent 40minutes trying to restart, verify the game etc and get this to work but eventually gave up.
