Snowforged Entertainment has launched a Kickstarter campaign for its new 4X space RTS, Starfall Tactics. Starfall Tactics will be free to download and play, and it follows the Hearthstone model with booster packs as microtransactions. The team aims to raise $45K with its Kickstarter campaign and has 33 days in order to meet this goal.
In Starfall Tactics, players can replace the weapons, engines, armor, shields, or add new modules like a Cloak System — or a Self Destruct mechanism.
“Gameplay is split between using fleets to conquer the galaxy or saving mankind from an impending alien threat.”
Players can also team up with other players by taking ownership of different sectors, mining asteroids, or establishing outposts on faraway planets — in a prelude to mind-blowing, beautifully rendered space battles.
Here are the game’s key features:
* Tactical combat: Battles can feature a variety of ships — from discreet frigates to deadly cruisers and heavy dreadnoughts
* In-depth customization: From the hull to the individual engines, everything is created using blueprints. Players can easily customize and outfit ships — adapting their tactics for a variety of situations. Every choice matters!
* Epic combat: Balls-to-the-wall explosions, intense action, and stunning visuals delivered via Unreal Engine 4.
* Galaxy conquest: Players can freely travel and explore the confines of known space. A variety of activities are available: from fending off pirates to trading, discovering new planets, and gathering intel on a new threat to humanity.
* High stakes: Players can unite as a clan and take ownership of different sectors, mine rare types of asteroids, and establish outposts on various planets. Whether it’s territory, scarce resources, or the respect of others, the pressure is on. Players have something of real value to lose.
Vasiliy Tedeev, lead project manager at Snowforged Entertainment, said:
“We’ve been working full-time for eight months now. The community’s reaction to Starfall Tactics has been beyond anything we could have imagined. We already have the core gameplay finished. The Kickstarter funding will allow us to expand the game’s universe to merge our favorite aspects of the wargame and RTS genres into a combination that will leave a lasting impression. We are huge tabletop and wargaming fans, and we hope we can do both genres justice with Starfall Tactics.”
Enjoy!

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.
