Crying Suns

Crying Suns is a tactical rogue-lite that hands you command of a space fleet exploring a galactic empire that has mysteriously fallen apart. Drawing atmosphere from science fiction like Foundation, Dune and Battlestar Galactica, it tells a deep, dramatic story across six chapters, with each successful run revealing more about the Empire and about yourself.

The setup is grim: after 700 years of peace, the OMNIs, god-like machines that did everything for humankind, have suddenly shut down, leaving a species that long ago lost the ability to survive on its own near extinction. You are a clone of Admiral Ellys Idaho, the finest Imperial Admiral ever to fight in the stars, woken on the ice planet Gehenna by Kaliban, its darkly humorous Guardian and the last functioning OMNI. Your task is to command a battleship through the Empire's now chaotic clusters and reactivate the OMNIs before time runs out.

Gameplay combines space exploration across a procedurally generated universe with tactical battles between battleships and their squadron fleets, and more than 300 possible story events keep the journey shifting from one run to the next.
