About This Game

Humanity had just taken its first tentative steps in space, when the catastrophic destruction of Mother Earth plunges the galaxy into a new Dark Age. Centuries later, those few surviving colonies have stabilised into a simple feudal society, unable to comprehend or advance the technological artefacts they use to survive. Internecine fights between an aristocratic elite decide the fate of the scattered fragments of human kind.

As the leader of a faction of star systems, you must seek to ensure the survival and prosperity of your dynasty. Expand your empire, herd your unruly vassals, build political alliances, and navigate a web of agendas, political intrigue and social obligations, to emerge as the dominant power of the galaxy.

Forge Your Dynasty - One Generation at a Time

Your campaign will span through generations of your bloodline. Customise a faction leader and launch your quest for galactic domination. Even if you set out as a benevolent upstart duke, your great-grandchild may be cruel and vindictive. You’ll have to be ready to adapt to the strengths and weaknesses of your descendants.

Star in Your Own Space Opera

A feudal society is built upon strict rules and values. It will be expected of you to defend your vassals, protect your family and respect your neighbours. Act honorably and you can seduce the court of public opinion. Ingratiate yourself with others by throwing lavish feasts and solidify your alliances through marriage. Then strike ruthlessly when you can get away with it. Depose your unruly barons, threaten and force concessions from other dukes, and blackmail other characters to get what you want. Unearth the secrets of your enemies to ruin their political standing in a galaxy where reputation is everything.

Experience a Rich Galaxy of Emergent Characters and Storylines

You’ll be kept on your toes by a procedurally generated cast of hundreds of characters, each one trying to achieve their own personal goals. As events transpire, the choices you make can have a major impact not just on you; but on your heir, your house, and the fate of your empire.

Reign Among the Ruins of a Forgotten World

The remnants of humanity live inside structures which they cannot build, and travel inside machines whose workings are unfathomable. Expedition Events can grant you a piece of pre-Collapse knowledge; from the relics of a previous age of exploration, to the mysteries of the here and now. Improve your colony by repairing the pre-collapse buildings and installations you encounter to provide your people safety, food and other necessities.

There is much I wanted to love about Star Dynasties. But it's too limited in possible actions and what you should be able to do. For exemple, I can't adopt a child as mine ?

"Star Dynasties" Review – Game of Houses, RNG, and Broken Dreams – AND – A Spreadsheet Trapped in a Space Opera You are the heir to a minor house, clawing your way through the remains of a shattered galactic civilization. A noble in name, a bureaucrat in practice, and a spectator most of the time. If you ever dreamed of ruling a space empire by filling out HR forms and losing control of everything important to random events, then congrats—you’ve found your dream job. ✔️ The art style is simple—but stylish. The clean, almost minimalist portraits and UI elements sell the “feudal lords in space” vibe effectively. It's not flashy, but it has a quiet dignity that fits the tone of a post-collapse galactic society where even your space throne is probably made of old parts glued together. ✔️ The “feudal sci-fi” concept? Brilliant. Think Crusader Kings meets Battlestar Galactica—but smaller, more personal, more intimate. You’re not commanding fleets of thousan...

Crusader Kings in space. It has excellent story telling and a unique feel to it. Unfortunately, the battles are not fleshed out and mostly rely on mercenaries but overall it´s pretty good, 8/10! The story each of your rulers write for themselves makes this an excellent game. The feasts are integral part of galactic diplomacy and well, we have all seen Game of Thrones, there can be unexpected outcomes. You send your House members all over the realm and there are so many tasks to manage that you have to prioritise. On top of that, you are expected to judge cases that have only negative outcome no matter how you decide but leaving them unattended will straight out lead to war with other factions, which maybe even desired, who knows, you decide and influence everything here. Your scientiests found xeno life forms? Secretly unleash them on other rulers systems or study them for your knowledge. There is constant unrest on one of your vassals planets? Good, that vassal didn´t lik...
