In early 2015, Massive Damage ran a Kickstarter campaign for their game – Halcyon 6: Starbase Commander. They managed to raise over $187,000, smashing their goal of $40,000. Now Massive Damage’s plans have finally come to fruition, with the first act of Halcyon 6 coming to Steam Early Access this week.
Halcyon 6: Starbase Commander puts you in the middle of a disastrous war with one primary mission: save the human race from extinction. Unfortunately for you and your group of officers, the odds are not stacked in your favour. Your time on Halcyon 6 (a derelict starbase left behind by a precursor race) will be spent gathering resources from the nearby star systems, fending off enemies and exploring star systems.
Could Halcyon 6: Starbase Commander be good enough to get on our list of The Best Strategy Games on PC?
Inspired by games like X-COM, Star Control and FTL, Halcyon 6 uses rouge-like elements to increase the replayability, with randomised officers, galaxies and events to shake things up every time you play.
Halcyon 6: Starbase Commander sounds incredibly ambitious; we can’t wait to try it out when the first act unlocks on Steam Early Access later this week. Massive Damage are planning on releasing the full game by the end of 2016.
