Starfall Tactics — is an upcoming real-time strategy video game with wargame elements, that mixes intense tactical combat with in-depth spaceship customization.[2][3] Project is developed by independent Siberian company Snowforged Entertainment.[4]

Gameplay

In Starfall Tactics players participate in centuries-old confrontation between three rival factions - Eclipse, Vanguard and Deprived.[5][6][7] One can assemble a unique fleet using a variety of blueprints[8] and travel across the galaxy or battle against other players in quick and Ranked matches.[9][10][11]

Thanks to the elaborate physical model, the game provides a variety of interesting tactical choices. Collision system allows ships to ram each other very effectively, line of fire - to evade flying projectiles and be attentive to the positioning of all units in the fleet, tactical units - to run the ship self-destruction system right in a crowd of enemies, create a couple of invisible scouts, make quick tactical moves via warp jumps and much more![12][13][14] Also, absolutely all components of the spacecraft in Starfall Tactics can be destroyed - from shield generators and special modules to weapons and engines. Enemy ship is trying to escape? Take out engines![15][16]

Every player, his fleet, a ship in this fleet, and even blueprints will have their own progression, opening additional opportunities for customization and creating unique playstyle.

Developers also announced their intention to create a clan system[17][18] with a war for territories and precious resources in the Outer space.[19]

Development

Development of Starfall Tactics has begun in late 2014. Starfall Tactics was first announced in January 2015,[20] at the same time the first trailer released. In May 2015 the game was released for the additional funding on Kickstarter,[21][22] which was planned to be spent on the development and extension of MMO-component of the game. The project was only half-funded, but according to the developers of the game, their goal - to attract world attention to the project - have been achieved.[23][24]

At the same time, Starfall Tactics has been Greenlit in just 9 days[25] and will be available on Steam.[26]
