What is Crying Suns?

Crying Suns is a sci-fi rogue-lite tactical video game developed by Alt Shift and published by Humble Bundle in 2019. The game features a unique combination of genres, blending elements of rogue-lites, tactical combat, and space exploration.

In Crying Suns, players take control of a fleet as they explore a dying galaxy in search of the mysterious OMNIs - advanced drones that hold the key to restoring the fallen Empire. The story unfolds through events, dialogues, and textual logs as players encounter other survivors and piece together what caused the Empire's sudden collapse.

Gameplay takes place on a hex-based map where players engage in turn-based tactical battles against enemy ships and planetary defenses. Players must manage their fleet composition and skills, along with energy, fuel, and module resources. When a ship is destroyed in battle, it is gone for good, encouraging careful decision-making.

With each run, the maps, events, and story elements rearrange, providing a fresh experience every time. Unlocking new ships and upgrading abilities between runs allows the player to dive deeper into the mysteries around the Empire's fate.

With its innovative blend of several genres, beautiful pixel art visuals, and intriguing sci-fi story, Crying Suns offers a unique and challenging experience for fans of tactical, rogue-lite, and space games.
