    In Devouring Stars you play a tribe of godlike entities trapped in Tartarus, a corner of the universe as far beneath hell as heaven is high above the earth. Hunted by 4 other tribes, you have been given the ability to draw your own fate. But to what extent?

    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. There's no tech tree or building facilities in Devouring Stars: your 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.

    With its mix of adaptative unit combination, space resource harvesting as well as visual and audio refinement, Devouring Stars aspires to bring a different scope to the RTS genre.

    Strategy gaming stripped to its core and flung out among the stars.

    Devouring Stars may seem simple enough at first, but things get pretty complex as you progress through its randomized campaign and you'll certainly have your strategy skills tested. Fortunately, the great visual design and the impressive soundtrack make spending your time in the indie title a worthy investment.

    I will admit that Devouring Stars isn’t going to be the most advanced or mechanically deep RTS you would ever play, but simply for what it does it does it incredibly well. The game has an overall high level of polish and I would easily recommend anyone picking it up.
