Game Overview

Developer: Alt Shift

Gameplay Mechanics
Tactical Space Combat: You take on the role of a space fleet commander, navigating through a procedurally-generated universe. Combat involves tactical, turn-based battles on a hexagonal grid between your battleship and various enemy fleets. Each ship in your squadron has unique abilities and can be upgraded.
Story-Driven Experience: Inspired by classics like “Dune” and “Foundation,” the game delves into a rich narrative. Each successful run helps uncover more of the story, revealing truths about the fallen Galactic Empire and your character’s identity. The story unfolds over six chapters, each offering new challenges and insights.
Rogue-Lite Elements: Expect to die often, as the game’s difficulty ensures that each run will be unique due to randomly generated sectors, events, and encounters. Permanent death is a key feature, but you’ll keep some of your progress in terms of story understanding and character development.
Deep Character Development: You command your ship as a clone of Admiral Ellys Idaho, with the mission to reactivate the OMNIs (god-like machines) to save humanity. Throughout your journey, you’ll manage your crew, make critical decisions that impact the narrative, and deal with various moral dilemmas.
Exploration and Management: Navigate through sectors, manage resources like fuel and food, and respond to numerous random events that can alter your strategy, from diplomatic encounters to moral choices affecting your crew’s loyalty or your ship’s condition.
Key Features
Space Exploration: Discover new planets, factions, and technologies in a vast, fallen empire.
Over 300 Story Events: Each event can change based on your decisions, crew composition, or the chapter you’re in, providing a high replay value.
Dynamic Battles: Real-time with pause combat system, allowing for strategic planning between actions.
Customization: Upgrade your battleship, choose from different weapons, and improve your officers’ skills.
Atmosphere: The game’s art style combines pixel art with a dark, sci-fi aesthetic, complemented by an atmospheric soundtrack that enhances the post-apocalyptic feel.
Updates and DLC
Last Orders Update: Introduced two new character factions – the Prag Mah (imperial judges) and the Phalanx (mercenary warriors), along with new battleships, officers, battlefield items, events, achievements, and quality of life improvements. This update was the final major content addition for “Crying Suns.”
Community and Reviews
User Reviews: On Steam, “Crying Suns” has received a “Very Positive” rating, with players appreciating the depth of the story, the tactical combat, and the engaging rogue-lite gameplay loop. Critics have noted that while it shares DNA with games like FTL, it distinguishes itself with its narrative focus and strategic depth.
