Remember Stellar Tactics, the ambitious-looking turn-based sci-fi sandbox RPG by Arcanum producer Don Wilkins that was on Kickstarter back in April? Even though the Kickstarter campaign was a failure, Don kept on working on the game with the aim of releasing it on Steam Early Access, which is what he did today. Here's its launch trailer and an excerpt from the Early Access FAQ:



Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I'm not sure. I am committed to making this a great game and much will depend on your feedback and support. I'll be adding content constantly over the coming months, tuning game play based on feedback and implementing features listed in the Stellar Tactics Roadmap, posted in the discussion forums.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The final version of the game will open up tens of thousands of systems to explore, space combat and more. I'd like to add the following features over the coming months:

• Access to 10,000 sectors
• space combat
• the ability to trade commodities across the universe
• dynamic mission and faction warfare generator
• complete perk system
• device system
• faction system
• crafting system
• repair system
• planetary mining
• access to all ships and upgrades
• additional hand crafted story content”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version of the game is fully playable and contains the entire beginning story-line and all supporting features. It will give players a good idea of what they can expect from the full version of the game when it's released. I will be adding new content regularly over the course of Early Access.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Stellar Tactics price may go up, down or stay the same during and after Early Access. I'm not expecting to change the price, but it is possible.”​


If you'd like to join in, the Stellar Tactics Early Access build is available on Steam for $20. For more information, be sure to check out the game's detailed official website.

Not sure the game will be great as I doubt they will get the necessary funds to have it under development for a lot of time, but, welp I am going to buy it, and try to support them, hope this ends well.

I love it when they make space purple, blue, green and all the other colours of the rainbow, except the one it should be... black.

Apart from that, I still like the premise and still think it's way too ambitious.

As with any Early Access game, you might want to stay away from this if you can't deal with the thought of it never being properly finished, but what's there so far is pretty good. Clearly needs a lot more work, but it's fun to play and has about 8-10 hours worth of content right now.
