Trippy Real-Time Strategy Title 'Devouring Stars' Coming to iOS Soon

Strategy games often try to convey a massive sense of scope, having you control entire nations instead of individual troops or units. Heck they even coined a phrase for them: Grand Strategy Wargames. But what if the scope was even grander than that, like say entire galaxies battling each other? That's the idea behind Devouring http://goo.gl/c7JkOP #Playistic

Devouring Stars release for Linux, Mac and PC

Devouring Stars is a celestial strategy game for Linux, Mac and Windows PC, with exploration and Greek gods. And this may seem like a fictional war, but things get interesting when celestial entities start weaponising the cosmos, devouring and merging stars to build massive havoc and destruction. Hunted by 4 other tribes, you have been given the ability to draw your own fate. Devouring Stars uses a couple of unique mechanics to create a different experience on the RTS and space exploration genre. Your entities have the ability to "devour" starfields, creating dynamic nebulas that will protect them. With no tech tree or building facilities, Devouring Stars entities are able to merge in order to create advanced units with special abilities. Depending on the set of entities you start the game with, you will be able to go for different strategies that will evolve during the game.

After spending time on Early Access, developers Nerial launched the celestial RTS. And Devouring Stars is currently available for 15% off right now on Steam until July 10th.

Features

15 advanced entities to unlock by merging the 4 basic ones (earth, air, fire, water). Each advanced unit has a specific ability like freezing enemies, controling them, attacking them from afar...

Generated starfields offering a wide range of beautiful and differently balanced layouts

Thousands of different settings through generated scenarios

Direct attack, escape route, diversion... many ways to go through the game depending on your strategic choices, your entities and your enemies

4 enemy tribes with specific features and behaviors

Unique particule system able to display thousands of dynamic stars

And some well hidden secrets...

Devouring Stars is mainly inspired by Dan Simmons' Illium but also by games like Homeworld, Eufloria, Starcraft or Faster Than Light.

OS: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Processor: 1.6 GHz DualCore

Memory: 1 GB RAM

Apparently this is an RTS about god-like entities who create and use stars as weapons.

Devouring Stars is a beautiful strategy game where you play gods and titans able to "devour" entire starfields. 

Designed to be played just with a mouse, Devouring Stars offers simple but compelling gameplay, with wonderful particle effects and a relaxed atmosphere.  

You're tasked with guiding your Gods/Titans across star systems, devouring starfields on your way to make you stronger, and battling other Gods/Titans who stand in your way.  This process is relatively simple, with the intuitive controls mapped to the mouse buttons.  As you progress you will unlock new Gods and Titans to use, and you can even combine them by left-clicking on one then right clicking on another.

It's a beautiful, Zen-like and mesmerising take on the strategy genre.  If you get stressed out when you play Devouring Stars, then you're playing it wrong!
