Space Tales

Space Tales is a story-driven sci-fi real-time strategy game about humanity’s expansion into space, which awakens ancient races and threats to the universe. You play as Xander Falcon, a young commander shaped by family tragedy, leading humanity’s Inter-Planetary Expansion army (I.P.E.) through a war whose causes reach beyond the battlefield. You build colonies on hostile worlds, command retro-futuristic forces and uncover the truth behind the conflict.

Xander’s campaign

Xander fights alongside Vespera, a sharp mission coordinator, and Desmond, a loyal recruit. As they move from fragile outposts to planetary assaults, each mission reveals more about the war, their allies and humanity’s place among the stars. Personal loyalty, propaganda, imperial ambition and cosmic horror are part of the story, while missions take the force through desperate defenses, hostile frontlines and tactical turning points where decisions can change the course of a mission.

Build and command

You manage limited resources, expand your base through the modular HUB system, secure power lines and connect key structures. You must prepare and fortify the colony before enemy waves arrive, then scout, position units, protect the base and adjust your plans as the battlefield changes. A branching tech tree lets you upgrade the HUB system and your units, tailoring your force to each mission.

Enemy factions and battles

Three enemy factions have distinct combat styles, so tactics and unit choices that work against one may fail against another. The Kill Bots apply relentless mechanized pressure, while the Necroborg use fortified defenses and timed attacks; the Necroborg threat grows stronger the longer it goes unchecked. You must adapt your defenses, forces and decisions from mission to mission.

Massive bosses test your timing, positioning and unit control. You need to study their attack patterns and choose when to engage; they cannot be captured. Powerful neutral monsters can be defeated and captured, then summoned as allies to break enemy lines, defend your colony or turn the battle in your favor.

Game modes

The campaign follows Xander through a full sci-fi RTS story. Replayable survival maps pit your colony against escalating battles, with the aim of holding out as long as possible before the enemy overwhelms it.
