I’m not massively into war, if I’m honest. War’s quite bad, isn’t it? Still, shooting men’s faces off in video games is pretty fun. However, if you’re stirring up a fictional war for a video game, I’d be far more interested in unknowable celestial entities weaponising the very cosmos, devouring and merging stars to create colossal murdertools. If we’re going to die, let us be wiped out by something so vast it doesn’t even know we exist. Aye, that’s a nice premise all right, and the one behind Devouring Stars [official site].
After a stretch on Steam Early Access, developers Nerial today properly launched the celestial RTS. It’s on Steam for Windows, Mac, and Linux at 6 right now.
