Hard Void

Hard Void is a turn-based 4X space strategy game with retro styling and Lovecraft-inspired themes. After recovering from near-apocalyptic events, your civilization develops faster-than-light travel by mysterious means. You lead its expansion into space and other dimensions, where the discovery may bring prosperity—or reveal things better left undiscovered.

Explore and expand

Use several faster-than-light travel methods, including WARP drives, Subspatial engines and Wormhole generators, to explore and colonize planets, asteroids and multiple dimensions. Other species are not the only danger: space travel also unlocks horrors in the void that threaten your empire.

Design ships and fight

Design spaceships by choosing systems such as weapons, defense modules, power sources and sensors, then customize each system through several parameters. Ship hulls are unique and procedurally generated. Combat is turn-based, with ships grouped into fleets and commanded as a whole in large space battles. Battles can involve space and ground forces, including fleets, orbital structures, planetary surface structures, and land, air and sea units.

Manage your empire

Run colonies through a complex economy with multiple resources, including iron, copper, hydrocarbons and energy. Establish colonies, create trade routes and manage industrial output to sustain your war machine and continue expanding.

Research and events

Research technologies across four disciplines: Physics, Engineering, Biology and Sociology. You can also pursue forbidden knowledge through non-conventional methods, which may irreversibly bring your civilization closer to the abyss.

Procedural narrative events are interconnected and shape each playthrough. Your decisions affect the game universe, as you discover ancient artifacts, witness reality anomalies and encounter cosmic horror events. Your forces may succumb to madness.
