Eons of War
In this rogue-lite survival strategy you get to manage a space corporation while progressing through missions in a dynamic galaxy. Every mission takes place in a unique planetary system where you can build space stations, mine resources, terraform planets, hire spaceships, and battle robotic life forms from the Rift.
SURVIVE IN SPACE
When the first signs of the Rift emerged decades ago, many nearby stars started to produce anomalous radiation spikes that destroyed space stations and sterilized planets, killing millions. Thanks to scientists and engineers, giant shields powered by thorium were deployed to protect humanoids of all races.
Shield management requires finding the right balance between stockpiling enough thorium and doing everything else that your corporation requires. Terraform, mine, research, battle…but never forget about the constant specter of radiation that can wipe you out in minutes.
DYNAMIC WORLD
Every game level is a dynamic procedurally-generated planetary system in a vast network of stars connected by hyperlanes.
Build space stations to expand your fleet among orbiting planets. Hire autonomous spaceships to do your bidding. While performing assigned jobs, they will periodically upgrade and repair equipment with the money they earn from you. Don’t run out of space credits to pay their contracts or they might quit!
Rift wormholes that teleport enemy ships from the distant galaxy can pop up near you randomly. Be prepared to defend the planets and space stations under your patronage.
While you are not managing shields or defending planets, you must keep the economy afloat. Mine resources, terraform planets, and send emissaries to increase your influence over planetary governments.
EXPLORE THE STORY
Progress through levels while exploring the story in side quests. Some quests will reward you with artifacts that can be deployed on planets and space stations. Those artifacts provide you with powerful bonuses on the way to victory. Keep some artifacts with you on various missions, giving you a much needed edge for increasingly difficult challenges.
GAME FEATURES
-
Your base is a dynamic planetary system: mine resources, build space stations, terraform planets, hire spaceships, manage radiation shields, and defend your people. All in a constantly changing environment.
-
Survive in the hostile world of radiation: stellar radiation goes up and down, putting your resource management skills to the test.
-
Hire autonomous spaceships: build stations to construct spaceships; then hire crews to operate them. Make money by increasing your influence with planetary governments.
-
Rogue-lite progression: every playthrough is different. Complete quests to get powerful artifacts that you need to beat increasingly more difficult missions.

Shortest Trip to Earth
My experience: I have beaten the game with every ship and on the hardest mode. Please note that my playtime doesn’t really reflect how much I played this game. I tend to leave whatever game I’m playing running when I’m AFK doing other things. That said, it probably would’ve taken at least 100 hours to accomplish what I have if Steam only counted when I was actually playing.
I’ve played some games which shared some attributes of this one but, really, not even FTL is all that close. You can move around much more than FTL. You’re not always running away - in fact, you’re running to the fight. The boarding mechanics are simpler here than FTL. The ship to ship combat and crew management is much more fleshed out here. I can’t think of any other games like this but, if you can, feel free to leave me a comment!

I bought this game on sale. The game has interesting story elements that gets you eager to get to the next sector. At first I was enjoying the game and would recommend the game to any “FTL” lower. But after last 2 runs I would definetly woudn’t recoomended the game. I don’t know if this is because of patching or this is the game design to make you reply game more, the more you play and get better the enemies get more stronger. When I say “enemies are getting stronger” I don’t mean like smarter AI or new tactis, they are basically cheating with some creazy strong weapons while at same time ship repaiers are getting more expencive for you.

A Blast From The Past
Kalzor is a classic space blaster, drawing inspiration from the arcade hits of the 70’s and 80’s. I’ve done my best to bring together modern tech and classic gaming, to make Kalzor a balanced game, in regards to marrying the old and the new.
When you play Kalzor for the first time it will quickly feel like you are playing an arcade game from the eighties, the main difference is this time you’re not a virgin.
The retro themed music perfectly ties together the simplistic addictive gameplay and retro inspired visuals for the ultimate experience of ‘golden age’ gaming. With a chiptune vibe, sounding like it was composed on a speak and spell (oh the memories).
Game Play
Kalzor is a straight up fun game, no reading, no cut scenes - just 100% pixelated spaceship blasting goodness. You’ll avoid enemy attacks as you shoot your way to the highest score you’ve ever achieved. All the while collecting power ups and coins.
The coins themselves are used to unlock additional ships to control (there are five in total), meaning you have a variety of play styles to try. Each ship’s stats vary between speed, accuracy and defence (number of shields you start with). So you’ll find one that suits your mood.
Additionally there are alternative types of shots to use, which will alter how you proceed in combat. They also offer slightly more ammo than the regular ammo pickups, so if you see one float by don’t forget to grab it.
High score Champion
As a bid to promote Kalzor, players may post their scores and game play footage to YouTube, so long as our license is adhered to.
