Shrapnel sent word of a new 2D sci-fi 4X game in the works - Star Legacy. Shrapnel Games, publisher of such notable independent strategy games like Dominions 3: The Awakening and War Plan Pacific, is proud to announce the next great epic science-fiction strategy game, Star Legacy! Developed by Star Legacy Development Group (SDLG), and currently slated for a late 2011 release for Windows (though the developers are hoping to port it to other operating systems), Star Legacy promises to be a feature-rich game of eXploration, eXpansion, eXploitation, and eXtermination that will remain on your hard drive for years.
Star Legacy is being designed from the ground up around one simple question: what would the ultimate sci-fi 4X game include?
Star Legacy is a player's game, one that is meant to be both a letter of love to fans of the genre and to bring new players into the fold. To achieve the goal of ultimate playability SDLG is focusing on several important facets in their design. First of all, Star Legacy will be an open-ended turn-based game that will allow players to immerse themselves in an epic space opera of their own making. Players will begin by creating civilizations reaching out from their homeworlds to explore the great bejeweled darkness of the universe. As in all good 4X titles there will be a full range of choices that the player will be involved in. Design starships worthy of the best sci-fi story, research new technologies, colonize new worlds, and when all else fails go to war. Everything in the game is player driven. Besides a single player experience the game will also feature multiplayer, although its exact form is still being worked out.
