Orbitron: Space Academy

Orbitron: Space Academy is a unique sci-fi PvP tactical arcade with two main modes — Pure tactical Space Chess mode or tactical mode combine with real-time arcade battles, based on SteamNetwork. Inspired by 1983's oldschool Archon, which I played with my father in the 90s. And many hours MOO2, which i played. Real players only. No AI or single player for now! Climb leaderboards with a custom ELO Ranking System. Quick access to the game. Infinite gameplay. Please join our Discord and take part in playtesting! Prove the quality and tactics of our new space chess and influence the rules. Provide bugreports, feedback, ideas and more. No third party servers. Play until Steam is gone. #stopkillinggames Space Chess Mode - Experience heroic space chess-like turn-based tactics on a spaceboard, where the king is not hiding. - 6 different base formations and commanders to choose from. - Collect powers and use the abilities of your main ships, Guardian (King) & Messenger (Queen). - Three ways to win. Seize all powerfields, infiltrate the enemy or defeat the main enemy ships. Orbitron Mode - Like above, but the decision to take an enemy figure is resolved in an arcade spaceship battle. - Engage your opponent with your ship, but remember: The Attacker has a significant start advantage. - Find new technology and upgrades on board and dominate in battle. - Repair and upgrade your ships as they get more battle-hardened. - Prioritize ship systems. Manage energy balance between shields, engines and weapons. - Survive and get more experienced crew. Fleet at your command. Reimagined figures. Refreshing new ways to play, while still maintaining a resemblance to the original chess pieces. Each class is unique, both on board and in battle. - Major changes in figure philosophy: - King is heroic. No more hiding, lead your fleet! - The Queen is not overpowered. Shares power with King. - If one of them is lost, the remaining one's movement is nerfed into 'Classic' King in chess. - More moving maneuvers on the board. We respect privacy and customers.
