Gratuitous Space Battles is a real-time strategy video game developed and published by independent developer Positech Games. The game was released in 2009 for Windows, Mac, and Linux platforms.
In Gratuitous Space Battles, players take control of an interstellar space fleet and battle against enemy AI fleets. The key gameplay element is designing and customizing your own spaceships down to details like weapons, shields, engines, and coloring. Players can create a variety of ships like frigates, cruisers, battleships, fighters, and bombers. The ship designs and battle tactics you choose play a major role in determining the outcome of skirmishes.
Once ships are designed, players send them into brightly-colored space environments to do battle against enemy fleets in real-time combat. Players do not directly control their ships during the battles, but can issue basic tactical commands. The battles themselves play out more like simulations that test your custom ship designs and strategies against the enemy AI ships and tactics. There is also a campaign mode with a loose story tying the battles together as your fleet progresses through different star systems.
With its emphasis on customization and replayability, Gratuitous Space Battles offers deep strategic gameplay for players who enjoy designing their own spaceships and testing them out in intense space battles. The game received positive reviews, especially praising the visual design and customization elements.
