Dark Empire

Dark Empire puts you in charge of Astra, a small mining colony at war. You must defend its different areas from an enemy flagship and manage the colony to prepare for battle.

Manage the colony

Colony management takes place in real time. You create ships for future battles and protect your buildings by positioning them to cover one another. Some buildings have defensive systems, while others do not.

Fight in turn-based battles

In battles, you control allied ships as well as your own, while the enemy uses its own tactics. Positioning is crucial, and you can choose a flagship with its own features and benefits. You unlock new spaceships by achieving success.

A roguelike structure

Dark Empire is designed around repeated runs: you will often die and start again. The game also includes random events, with no two events alike.
