22nd Century – Exiled on Novus - a distant exoplanet - as Earth
was not able to shelter humanity anymore, a few courageous settlers struggle to
survive in one of the most dangerous places in the universe. Their First Contact
War with the nautilid species is still fresh in everyone’s mind. Communicating
with such aggressive aliens has never been an option. And the new furtive
offensive they are preparing is another step towards bloody war!
Today we are excited to announce the development of a new 3D tactical space
battles game called Star Hammer : The Vanguard Prophecy. Developer Black Lab
Games is focused on designing a fascinating sci-fi game in which players will
not only step into the shoes of a fleet commander – carefully selecting their
spaceships and crew members – but also be at the spearhead of their squadron,
maneuvering their capital ships like a hard-boiled captain!
The nautilid threat is as varied as it is innumerable and the game offers plenty
of tactical situations in which players will have to take painful decisions. To
succeed, players will need to be quick-learners to identify the weaknesses of
the enemy and adopt an offensive behavior only when a clear breach appears. We
have lost count of all the daredevil commanders who have already sacrificed all
in the service of Humanity
This approachable tactical game is now ready to enter the beta phase on PC! And
we invite players to help us test it! By signing up for the beta, players will
have a chance to be selected to be one of the lucky few who will be able
experience Star Hammer: The Vanguard Prophecy before release and help us with
the final touches, ensuring a smooth release in a few months.
