Preparing for war… and management stuff, June 15, 2025

A powerful space empire threatens your existence. You can choose to resist them, building your defenses and deciding how you wish to direct wartime efforts.

After the introductory chapters, most of the game is spent deciding how you will allocate resources in preparation for battle, and whether you’d like to focus on something at the expense of something else. The actual war has much less choice, and the game instead largely narrates to you how the battles go based on decisions made. Still, I managed to obtain a victorious ending on my first attempt, although it certainly wasn’t without cost. That said, I did make a few decisions which I felt would increase my chances of winning, at the cost of something else to my empire, but I’m not sure if the ending acknowledges the latter in some way.

There were a few star maps, which were nice to look at, but it was hard to make out the little details on my iPhone screen.

The game is short, but the writing is largely solid, with a heavy focus on prep and management.
