Starlight Tactics

Starlight Tactics is a full 3D, turn-based tactical space combat game set during World War IV, which begins a century from tomorrow. You command a fleet in a conflict between the United Star Force (USF) and the Non-Aligned Nations (NAN), fighting for control of the Star System. You can play either side in its single-player campaign.

Campaigns and skirmishes

The USF and NAN campaigns each contain 50 missions, fought among planets in the Star System. Freeplay Skirmish Mode lets you play against the AI or another human using a shared mouse and screen.

Command your fleet

The game features over 60 starships with customizable weapons and defenses. Destroyers, Stealth Ships, Littoral Combat Ships, Cruisers and Carriers persist from mission to mission in the SpaceDock, where you requisition, inspect, repair, upgrade and decommission ships. You can also choose your fleet's colors.

Tactical combat

You control each ship's heading, pitch and roll as you plan moves among the system's planets and moons. Targeting specific systems affects a ship's capabilities: hitting turrets reduces its destructive power, while damaging engines reduces its speed. You can also attack the hull until the ship is destroyed.

Physics affect the fighting. Weapon impacts can send ships into a roll, plasma fire can knock asteroids toward enemy ships, and ships can ram one another, causing catastrophic damage.

Battle soundtrack

David Arkenstone composed musical themes for the battles.
