The Last Federation

The Last Federation is a grand strategy campaign with turn-based tactical combat. You play as a Hydral, the last survivor of a race whose homeworld was destroyed by a moon. After hijacking a flagship from angry robots, you can use scattered remnants of advanced Hydral technology as you try to form the solar system’s first unified federation. Eight diverse races stand in your way; you can seek to unify them or exterminate them.

A living solar system

The game simulates an entire solar system and its billions of inhabitants. You can watch events unfold in Observer mode as nations rise and fall, or take part in the campaign. The eight races have distinct personalities, attributes and political systems.

Tactical combat and strategy

Turn-based tactical combat can involve up to five competing factions at once. Grand strategy and combat have separate difficulty settings, each ranging from casual to hardcore. The game gradually introduces complexity for new players, and you can disable this ramp-up if you are already experienced.

Campaign options

You can save and reload at any time, or play in ironman mode. The soundtrack by composer Pablo Vega runs for 54 minutes and includes the vocal finale “Lay Down Your Arms.”
