When FTL meets Foundation... and Dune

Crying Suns is a tactical rogue-lite that puts you in the role of a space fleet commander as you explore a mysteriously fallen empire.

In this story rich experience inspired by Dune and Foundation, each successful run will uncover the truth about the Empire... and yourself as well.

Main Features

  • Space exploration in a procedurally-generated universe
  • Tactical fights between battleships and their squadron fleets
  • More than 300 possible story events
  • A deep and dramatic storyline structured in 6 chapters
  • A dark and disturbing atmosphere inspired by our favorite S-F universes (Foundation, Dune, Battlestar Galactica) 

Prepare to die often, it's a rogue-lite game... And it's a hard one…

The story: The epic journey of a clone

After 700 years of peace and prosperity, the Galactic Empire has suddenly been shattered into pieces. The OMNIs, god-like machines which did everything for their human masters, have mysteriously shut down. And humankind, having long since lost the ability to survive on its own, is dangerously close to extinction. But somewhere in a far corner of the Galaxy is Gehenna, a planet of ice and rock and a top-secret facility that is the pinnacle of Imperial Tech and also humanity’s last chance.

You are a clone of Admiral Ellys Idaho, a weapon fashioned from flesh, the best Imperial Admiral ever to battle in the stars and you have just been awoken on this planet by its strange and darkly-humorous Guardian, Kaliban, the last functional OMNI to exist.

Your mission: skillfully command a battleship through the Empire's now chaotic, violent clusters ––where one wrong move could be your last–– as you try to reactivate the OMNIs and save the future of all humankind. But you must leave Gehenna now.... for time has almost run out.

Platforms

Crying Suns will be available at first on PC and Mac. We also planned to release the game on iPad soon after the desktop version.

Very enjoyable space game!

There's so much to explore in this game and it keeps you playing longer and longer. The battles are in real-time and vary from easy-peasy to very challenging. The exploration needs a bit of a plan beforehand how you establish your crew. The graphics are smooth and the dialogues awesome. All in all a really good game ... that repeats itself in some points. That's the one star minus. If you have seen a very funny dialogue, it will come back exactly the same way. Small variation if rng hits you or not ;) I would strongly recommend that for every space game and RTS fan.

Nope, but thanks

There must be some type of style to this game I am not familiar with, but I am super glad it has a demo so I knew enough not to buy the game. There IS NO LEARNING CURVE. You are given a stripped down battle ship and the entire universe against you. Every outcome is so blasted random there is no skill involved. But it's like putting a level 1 bard in a level 20 dungeon, telling him to flip a coin against every opponent that has a 80% of winning every 50/50. You are forced into impossible scenarios with no clue as to what is required to complete, no going back once you've made the choice. Your crack commando team is virtually useless and fails most missions and most ground missions you lose almost every squad member with NO INPUT from you. You just click a button and lose lose die die die lose. And after all you do win , you cant collect ANYTHING from your losses unless you press on, practically killing your whole squad and losing anyway. The graphics story is fine, but there is no player control in virtually any outcome, save the ship combat. I guess if you're into FTL fine, get the game, but anyone else, EVERYONE else, just steer clear of this game.
