You can now try for free on Steam the demo of a roguelike from one of the best science fiction series

The highly anticipated survival roguelike game based on the iconic universe of Battlestar Galactica has been released in a free beta version on Steam.

Titled Galactica: Scattered Hopes, this game by Dotemu and developed by Alt Shift promises to offer players an immersive and challenging experience, combining tactical decisions and resource management in the context of a fleet besieged by the cylons.

The Cylons Attack Again

Inspired by the famous 33-minute episode of the series, the game puts players in the difficult situation of surviving while facing continuous enemy attacks. Each game is randomly generated, ensuring that the gameplay is fresh and unique with every attempt. In this beta version, all the mechanics and challenges that players can expect in its official release, scheduled for next spring, have been implemented.

One of the distinctive elements of the game is the ‘Favor’ mechanic, which allows players to accumulate resources and benefits between matches, preventing them from starting from scratch after a game over.

As players make strategic decisions, they must manage positioning in combat and attend to the needs of the different captains and groups within the fleet. The combat system is tense and challenging, with a special focus on endurance and tactical planning.

Visually, Galactica: Scattered Hopes combines pixel art with 3D models, preserving the aesthetic of the original series and providing an appealing presentation. The developers have made a great effort to reflect the tension and intrigue of the Battlestar Galactica world, turning each defeat into an opportunity to accumulate ‘Favor’ and improve for future encounters. This experience has generated great excitement among fans of the series and enthusiasts of roguelike games.
