Wikipedia Description WIKIPEDIA
Crying Suns is a roguelike strategy video game set in outer space. The protagonist, space admiral Ellys Idaho, awakes in a cloning facility decades after the interstellar empire he fought for has collapsed, and travels the empire's galaxy in a battleship in search of answers why. The game is split into six chapters, with three sectors each; upgrade progress is reset after each chapter. Idaho and his crew travel through each sector and its star systems to reach the sector exits while staying ahead of a pursuing threat and managing the battleship's fuel. Sectors and star systems are randomly generated; each star system may contain several points of interest like "anomalies" or random events such as interactions with pirates. These encounters either reward or remove scrap, the game's currency, or damage the battleship. Players can upgrade their ship's systems or purchase items at outposts using scrap. Players can also undertake planetary missions using commandos, rewarding them with scrap if successful. At the end of each sector, players fight a boss; beating the final boss of the chapter unlocks a new battleship. During the course of their travels, players battle other battleships in pausable real-time. The goal of the battle is to destroy the opposing ship using fighter squadrons and ship-mounted weapons. Fighter squadrons traverse a hexagonal grid between the two ships, employing a rock-paper-scissors design where fighters are strong against specific types but weak against others. The grid may contain environmental hazards that affect fighter maneuverability, such as asteroid fields or automated turrets. Weapons can target either the ships directly or the battlefield grid. Specific ship sub-systems can be targeted: for example, attacking the weapons system can disable the ship-mounted weapons. Players can also obtain officers, who serve multiple functions. Officers have different skills which offer alternative options during random encounters; additionally, when assigned to a planetary mission, they can help the expedition avoid dangers and increase the amount of scrap collected. Officers also have abilities that improve or alter combat performance when assigned to a specific ship sub-system.
