Retro Space Strategy-RPG, Halcyon 6: Starbase Commander releases on Steam

Developer Massive Damage Inc have finally launched their Kickstarted Deep Space, Strategy RPG, Halcyon 6: Starbase Commander on Steam. The game mixes base building, exploration, and an old school JRPG-like combat system with both capital starships and their officers able to take part in battles. Turn-based Star Trek anyone?

Massive Damage's CEO, Ken Seto said:

"We came up with the idea for Halcyon 6 a few years back when we realized there was a lack of epic space adventure games like the ones we loved when we were younger. Too many new space games stuck to the traditional 4x strategy template or went too far into shooter territory. Halcyon 6 was our response to that. Our goal was to design an approachable, fun, space adventure with just the right mix of strategy and RPG gameplay."

Here's the official description of the game per its Steam page:

On the edge of Terran space lies Halcyon 6, a derelict starbase left behind by a mysterious precursor race. Your mission is to reclaim the derelict station and rebuild it.

A mysterious alien force is making a beeline towards Earth and this starbase is the best chance for the New Terran Federation to establish new alliances, research new technologies and otherwise figure out a way to stop the impending invasion.

Using only the resources you can salvage from the derelict station and gathered from nearby star systems, it’s up to you to rebuild the starbase to lead the Terran Republic’s scientific research, exploration and diplomatic efforts on the edge of known space.

Halcyon 6 is a passion project who’s design is inspired by our years spent playing classic games like Star Control, Master of Orion, X-COM, Civilization and new classics like FTL.
