Devouring Stars is an RTS about stars that want to kill each other, maybe, they might also be greek gods, I don’t really know. According to the press release you’re being hunted by some bad ass clans and you have to devour starfields to create dynamic nebulas and more advanced units but remember the hunters also have the same abilities. Devouring Stars graphically looks simple and clean and then you see these ripple effects happen when shit goes down and all the stars pulsate, yeah, this is going to be pretty trippy. It’s on Steam Early Access right now but like a fiery star god it’s not going to stay there for long according to developer Nerial.

PRESS RELEASE
Devouring Stars is available on Steam Early Access
A unique celestial RTS of a rare beauty now available on Steam Early Access
Paris, April 3, 2015. Studio Nerial and publisher BulkyPix are announcing the release of the celestial real-time strategy game Devouring Stars on Steam Early Access on Thursday, 2 April. This version is priced at $9.99 and is available for PC, Mac and Linux. Steam keys are available on demand.
Greek Gods & Exploration
Inspired by Dan Simmons’ Illium but also by games like Eufloria or Faster Than Light, Devouring Stars is a strategy game with some exploration and a lot of Greek gods.
In Devouring Stars, players lead a tribe of godlike entities hunted by 4 other clans. To defend themselves, those entities have the ability to devour starfields, thus creating dynamic protective nebulas, but also to merge in order to create more advanced units. Depending on the set of entities a game is started with, different strategies may be unfolded.
A brief yet necessary Early Access
Devouring Stars will not remain in Early Access for more than a couple of months. Although at a very advanced stage of development, Devouring Starsstill needs some final polishing. Developers most notably expect useful feedbacks from the community regarding the difficulty balancing as well as the enemy AI.
This Early Access version features the whole game, fully playable from the start to the end. English and French languages are available but more will be present in the final version.
