    Good Indie, 8 bit-like game.
    It's a light strategy game (mostly base bulding ) mixed with jrpg (Rock-Paper-Scissors mechanics, xp levelling, and so on), a little repetitive ... but funny.
    Lots of Star trek homages, turn based combat, simple base bulding, officers with ability tree, upgradable ships, tech tree to unlock, some diplomacy with alien species, a few choices events, resource    Good Indie, 8 bit-like game.

    Keeping in mind that it's not an AAA strategy games and that it is basic in most of his aspects, is a good time filler.
    I got it very cheap on Epic.    … Expand

    The setting is cool and the graphics are cute. Just when i was getting into the groove of things I realized i could never win my playtrhough due to not focusing hard on ship upgrades. Pretty frustrating considering i was 8 h in or so. Meeehhhhh...

    Uninspired, remaster edition, which brings minimum changes, so the success goes to the original game. Fine choice for new players, for others something they can skip easily. [Issue#277]

    Regardless of how well-received their initial product was, Halcyon 6: Lightspeed Edition is an evolution of it.

    Free (for original game owners) remaster of the brilliant pixel-art star-trecky game brings many cosmetic enhancements. The campaign, among other things, has also a faster pace, an appropriately officers unit, automatic material collection and a new interface. Still, it would help a lot if the game could offer a possibility of sandbox and an option to run the game in slower mode. Core fans of the original game, however, will receive a polished gem with a promise to the future, so they can add one point to the score.
