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.

Ticks most of the narrative boxes

+ Parading diversity based on skin color - Check + Villainizing ancient religion - Check + Glorifying science as a new religion - Check + Robotic parroting of mindless slogans - Needs work Still too much agenda for me.

I don't pay for this

first off I got this at the Spring Sale price and it wasn't even worth that! Games of these nature arent even worth money and shouild not be distrubuted for money on GOG. but made free on Abandonia! simply put it is a very cartoonish vague stick figure game(not why I am judging it mediocre) where a weird robot who talks like a kid with too much on his mind wakes up a barfing admirlal clone stating humans can only drive the ship or such. then you are stuck on the bridge listening to text about warping space in "folders" and such, which might be a good (hypathetrical) letcure but boring to sit thrugh in a game. then you are given no choice but to do what the A.I.(akin "robot") says and really the only action you take is "go here" go to this place next but everywhere else is locked out. in battle you are taken to a screen where your stagnet ship sits in the bottom of the screen and the enemy's in the top. you fire guns, regenerate power and lsend squadrens. I think it is more like "battleship" but If I wanted to play battle ship I'd go get my board game. Then you go back to the bridge and "talk" to the alien. send your WAY mission people down. but you only get text of what is going on and it is uninteresting. two stars for the fancy "warp" image on the screen that is all there is... this game was probably made by a 10 year old kid with waaay too much on his mind and knows nothing of the outside world beyond the concrete slab of his mommie's basement. save to go up the slab stairs to eat a PB&J and milk every few hours. why pay money to a game made by a kid!
