Download Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes’ demo now as part of Steam Next Fest.
Alt Shift’s mastery of consequence-driven storytelling and gameplay centered on tense crisis management sees you take the helm of a modest fleet of spaceships in Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes. You must flee humanity’s settled worlds, known as the Twelve Colonies, while pursued by the merciless Cylons. Survival depends on tactical brilliance and calculated fleet management as you prevent sabotage from within.
In Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes, you make the most of your crew's time to prepare for the next Cylon assault. You may explore different points of interest for resources while finding new items or crew members, but there is always something happening in your Fleet: urgent issues caused by the previous battle to fix, quarrelling factions to deal with or hidden Cylons to catch.
Once the deadly Cylons make contact with forces, a battle begins. Drawing inspiration from the iconic franchise’s theme of persevering against an overwhelming enemy as well as the climatic escape within the TV series’ “33” pilot episode, Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes’ skirmishes center around a simple but key concept of survival: “resist until you can jump.”
Deploy fighters from hangars and direct them in hybrid real time and tactical combat scenarios to dispatch the Cylons, minimizing damage to the central ship while wielding its onboard defenses against the gravest threats. Endure an onslaught until you can flee to another sector of the galaxy, choosing your destination (and potential rewards) based on your most dire needs.
Each run in Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes offers new lessons as you adapt to defy odds of survival, and tactical options broaden as you unlock additional squadrons, weapons and traits as well as meta upgrades to benefit future runs. Your decisions meaningfully alter your fleet’s fate as you lead fighters through high-risk battles and jump to new sectors before the Cylons turn your ships into astral debris. With humanity’s haven in the Twelve Colonies now uninhabitable, steadfast tactical leadership is the only hope of surviving the journey to humankind’s last hope, the Battlestar Galactica. So say we all.
