Reactor Critical

Reactor Critical is a starship combat game played on a hex grid. You maneuver ships, use weapons and special abilities, or send fighter squadrons against enemy capital ships. Action Points govern movement, weapons fire and abilities, so each turn involves choosing how to spend them.

Fleets and battles

You build a fleet from several ship classes, choosing a force to suit your playstyle and counter your opponent. Three map sizes range from tight Skirmish battles to sprawling Wars, with fleet point limits that scale to the map. Battles can end in total annihilation or by hunting down the enemy flagship.

Fog of War changes how you play: send scouts to locate the enemy. You can also choose team battles, including 2v2v2 and 5v1.

Multiplayer and AI

AI opponents are available in local and online games, either for solo play or to fill empty slots. Up to six players can take turns in local hotseat multiplayer on one machine. Hotseat play can be combined with network players in online or LAN games, and LAN play does not require an internet connection.
