Star Dynasties
NEW DLC OUT NOW
Informacje o grzeHumanity had just taken its first tentative steps in space, when the catastrophic destruction of Mother Earth plunges the galaxy into a new Dark Age. Centuries later, those few surviving colonies have stabilised into a simple feudal society, unable to comprehend or advance the technological artefacts they use to survive. Internecine fights between an aristocratic elite decide the fate of the scattered fragments of human kind.
As the leader of a faction of star systems, you must seek to ensure the survival and prosperity of your dynasty. Expand your empire, herd your unruly vassals, build political alliances, and navigate a web of agendas, political intrigue and social obligations, to emerge as the dominant power of the galaxy.
Forge Your Dynasty – One Generation at a Time
Your campaign will span through generations of your bloodline. Customise a faction leader and launch your quest for galactic domination. Even if you set out as a benevolent upstart duke, your great-grandchild may be cruel and vindictive. You’ll have to be ready to adapt to the strengths and weaknesses of your descendants.
Star in Your Own Space Opera
A feudal society is built upon strict rules and values. It will be expected of you to defend your vassals, protect your family and respect your neighbours. Act honorably and you can seduce the court of public opinion. Ingratiate yourself with others by throwing lavish feasts and solidify your alliances through marriage. Then strike ruthlessly when you can get away with it. Depose your unruly barons, threaten and force concessions from other dukes, and blackmail other characters to get what you want. Unearth the secrets of your enemies to ruin their political standing in a galaxy where reputation is everything.
Experience a Rich Galaxy of Emergent Characters and Storylines
You’ll be kept on your toes by a procedurally generated cast of hundreds of characters, each one trying to achieve their own personal goals. As events transpire, the choices you make can have a major impact not just on you; but on your heir, your house, and the fate of your empire.
Reign Among the Ruins of a Forgotten World
The remnants of humanity live inside structures which they cannot build, and travel inside machines whose workings are unfathomable. Expedition Events can grant you a piece of pre-Collapse knowledge; from the relics of a previous age of exploration, to the mysteries of the here and now. Improve your colony by repairing the pre-collapse buildings and installations you encounter to provide your people safety, food and other necessities.

It isn't crusader kings in space yet, but definitely has a lot of potential.

(Positives and Negatives listed below;)
Star Dynasties is a wonderfully crafted indie frame of a space mix between Stellaris, Crusader Kings and the world of Dune. The turn based nature appeals unusual at first, but quickly turns into one of the game's biggest strengths. Hardcore paradox fans, micromanagers and number-crunchers will feel like the game is lacking in tasks, mechanics and depth. But as a more role-playing, imaginative player I find this to be the perfect balance, sometimes more fun than CK2 or 3 for me personally. I do however hope, that the game is far from completition and will recieve further content updates or even DLCs (Id be willing to pay for them, as long as they provide additional content, but do not lock-out mechanics), as the game is lacking the most in that department.
POSITIVES:
+Straightforward, but engaging mechanics
+No overmanagment
+Decent replayability with all the different possible builds
+Depending on the character build, being a vassal is also valid and engaging
+Randomized start provides many possibilities for cool stories
+Gives off a wonderful Dune vibe, the world is interesting
+Perfect for role-playing, imaginative and more casual players
+Potentially great modding community
+Fair price
NEGATIVES:
-Severely lacking in content, wether events and traits, or mechanics
-Randomized starts can be frutrating, when you're trying to achieve a certain goal
-No multiplayer included, and as far as i know, not comming anytime soon, probably never
-Might seem shallow for hardcore Paradox fans and number-crunching players
-Currently rather empty workshop page
I really hope, that the dev team sticks to the project, as currently the game lacks more traits for characters, more events to keep one engaged in new storytelling possibilities and could use a few minor mechanics here and there as 'extra options'. So far I am loving what the indie developer has put out and would love to see it succeed. I will definetly spend quite a few more evenings with my starfaring dynasties, as its a relaxing, engaging game which almost always generates me a good story to tell. If on sale - definetly a great buy, also recommended on full price if you are okay with previuously listed flaws. 7.8/10
