About

Stars in Shadow is a turn-based 4X strategy game published by Iceberg Interactive and developed by Ashdar Games. The title was released on January 18, 2017, as an indie sci-fi experience focused on single-player gameplay. Players compete with alien factions to explore and colonize nearby starsystems while building fleets to defend against rivals. Victory is achieved by unifying the galaxy through either diplomacy or force. The game allows users to recover ancient technologies and negotiate with alien leaders within a detailed world-building framework. Created by two passionate strategy gamers, the title offers streamlined empire management alongside sophisticated turn-based tactical combat. Progression begins at the dawn of interstellar travel and moves through four eras of technological advancement. During this journey, players discover planetary terraforming science and upgrade infantry battalions to battle mechs. Fleets can grow from a squadron of destroyers into an armada of planet-destroying Dread Stars. Seven playable factions are available, representing six different alien races with distinct research paths. The main story length is approximately six hours, while including extras extends the experience to about twenty-one hours.Read more
