SHORT DESCRIPTION

Spacewars is a turn-based tactical online strategy MMO, where real-time travel meets turn-based combat.

LONG DESCRIPTION

Spacewars is a turn-based tactical online strategy MMO, where real-time travel meets turn-based combat. The universe is made up of five asymmetrical races, with very different play styles from each other. Players choose a starting race, and a starting ship, with a customized Captain as their avatar. Via experience gained in combat, capturing regions, or successfully accomplishing missions, they can improve their Officer skills via an RPG upgrade skill tree, or acquire more powerful ships.

The game is free to play, with full access to the gameplay and universe. Space Wars began as a partnership between ToHeroes Game Studios and Desert Owl Games. Today ToHeroes Game Studios maintains the game and leads its continued development.

KEY FEATURES

  • Real-time travel between sectors, turn-based combat on a hex grid.
  • Power distributed across four strategic layers: Propulsion, Sensors, Force Fields and Weapons.

  • Dramatically different races, each with its own ships and play style, see the Shipyard.
  • An RPG skill tree for your Captain and Officers, see Captains.
  • Free to play, with ship variants rather than pay-to-win power.
