While your squadrons are technically infinitely deployable, they have major limits in addition to the low number of fleets you can deploy at any time due to AI overload, the death of a fleet causes the control AI for that fleet to overload, forcing you to wait before deploying another fleet controlled by that AI, in addition to deployment time and permanent damage to the squadron's HP due to its destruction. Your objective is to kill the enemy's battlecruiser before they do the same to you, using a combination of ships and cruiser-class weapons. In combat, you command fleets of automated replicating starship squadrons from your giant battlecruiser. Your officers and their skillsets are essential to getting the most out of events that crop up on each planet, and can be sent with commandos into risky expeditions for motherlodes of resources - or death. Meanwhile, every jump between star systems alerts the sector's security patrols, chasing after you from your point of origin between hyperspace jumps to overtake star systems in vast sweeps. Every jump, between planets or star systems, costs the same amount of fuel, forcing you to choose between a deep sweep of the planets or an essential hit-and-run of stars and major landmarks. Each node between byways is a star system which can yield fuel, scrap, manpower, and equipment along the way to ensure your survival. On the overmap, your objective is to use the limited hyperspace byways to reach the boss-guarded Fold Network Super-FTL Gateway at the end of each sector, with the main goal of defeating the Cluster Boss at the end of the third sector. Over the course of the game, Idaho can discover new cruiser blueprints and collect the biometric data of heroic officers to replicate them from his base, allowing him to tackle challenges with an entirely different strategy between clone deaths.Ĭhapters are divided into Clusters, each of which is divided into three Sectors. Moreover, defeating and interrogating Cluster Bosses by beating the chapter will give you (and all future clones) the intel needed to begin the next chapter of your search, meaning you don't have to start from chapter one with each death. However, since he is already a clone, getting killed only reactivates the next clone in line, along with clones of key crewmembers. Idaho's quest is an investigation-and-reconnaissance mission about who caused the The Shutdown and how to fix it, by making his way through the worst sectors of the fallen Empire that have been ripped apart by civil wars, insane raiders, and resource shortages, facing many dangers from both the anomalies of deep space and the insanity of various hostile forces. He is awakened in a secret facility on the edge of space by its OMNI unit, Kaliban, who informs him that the scheduled transmissions from the rest of Empire's OMNI units have gone silent as they effectively ran all of the civilization in the background, this amounts to a complete societal collapse. The player controls Admiral Ellys Idaho, or more accurately, a clone of the original Admiral Idaho, once the most trusted commander of Emperor Oberon. Its gameplay has been compared to FTL while its setting takes heavy notes from classic sci-fi, such as Foundation and Dune, being set in a heavily stratified Feudal Future ruled by an immortal God-Emperor. Crying Suns is a science-fiction roguelite with Real-Time with Pause combat, developed by the French studio Alt-Shift and released on September 19th, 2019 for PC through Steam.
