Edit: Asked around on the forums, this game doesn't change. You HAVE to do two specific skills to increase initiative, so screw everything else you might want to do amirite? Also, EVERY door needs to be a full prep for combat or you will get swarmed. It's a shame, I love the idea behind this game, but the dev made it so horrifically, overwhelmingly tedious instead of...fun...so to reiterate, the store page advertisement of "build your character your way" is 100% a lie. You build it a SPECIFIC WAY, or you get ambushed and die. Full stop. So I'm leaving the negative review, not continuing on, and refunding. I prefer fun to tedium. I want the game that was advertised, not this...turd. Original Review: First impression are horrifically bad. In combat, your enemy literally ALWAYS gets to act first. 100% of the time. They get alpha strike and positioning over you, and they are able to act more than you are. The enemy sprints way father than I can, then gets to attack on top of it. They ne...

Stellar Tactics is a nostalgic return to the excitement and wonder of classic RPGs with a compelling narrative, strategic squad-based ground combat, and rewarding open-world space exploration. Survival will require the most skilled team and the best weapons, armor, and equipment you can get your hands on. With 10,000 sectors, tens of thousands of solar systems, and millions of planets to discover, you can explore, fight, and trade to your heart’s content as you build a party of seasoned veterans to dominate the challenges of deep space.

You are a genetically engineered mercenary who is woken from cryostasis after your escape pod is rescued. It has been years since a disaster struck the colony ship you were stationed on. Much has changed in the galaxy. A disease known as Phage is mutating and slowly consuming worlds while the galactic powers fight for supremacy and control. You must assemble a crew and choose your path while navigating the intricate politics and dangerous foes you will meet in your travels.
Can you find the source and end the Phage before it consumes the entire galaxy? Will you choose one of the political powers with which to ally yourself or stay strictly a mercenary for hire? The choice is yours.

Stellar Tactics combines the turn-based combat of classic RPGs such as Fallout with space exploration in a massive open-world universe. On the ground, explore space stations, ancient ruins, caves, planetary bases and interact with a variety of characters - each with their own goals and objectives.
Engage in turn-based tactical combat against mutants, monsters, and hostile forces such as raiders, pirates, and scavengers, with every weapon having its advantages and disadvantages. Harness the formidable power of Psionics, and an ancient alien force - Azimuth. Build your squad from novice mercenaries into experts as you choose what skills they will specialize and excel in with a classless system where character skills improve as you use them.
Explore a vast universe of over 160,000 star systems where you can embark on missions; hunt pirates and raiders for bounties; scan planets for data, hidden locations, and valuable minerals; disable and board enemy ships; and mine asteroids for precious ores to make additional money and craft powerful gear.

After 17 hours, the game has become repetitive and space combat is difficult. I'm bored.
I recommend this great space tactical simulator game! Enjoyed the gameplay. Really looking forward towards Release. I guess it will be one of the best games in the area. I already found unique features, not present in classical Elite games or X' series. Well done to developers!
Very down to earth and simple game,nothing fancy here,except one of the most addictive game play.. It is so much fun stabbing someone with a sword in the face and watch his body crumble!
I haven't played many RPGs. Maybe I just don't like them. I spend all my time wandering around sites trying to find a certain guy. I can't get any real picture of the layout of the site, and so I'm probably going in circles. How are you supposed to play these games? Right now it seems like an exercise in futility. I accept that this is not a useful or fair review. It is still my personal reaction.
