Battle for the Galaxy
There are so many stories that could be set in space but many of them involve wide-scale battles taking place on other planets like in Battle for the Galaxy. It's the far future and humanity has managed to explore space further and establish colonies on other planets. Yet, despite these achievements, conflict is still rampant with humans still fighting amongst each other as well as the dangers of the galaxy. As the commander, you must lead your forces to fight and defend valuable areas of land so that you expand and extract the resources within.
About Battle for the Galaxy
The Starcraft series showed us years ago just how exciting and challenging it could be to fight space battles against a variety of enemies. This game takes those battles and simplifies them so that you can switch quickly between attack and defense. When you aren't fighting, you're doing your best to build up your base, gather, resources, and improve your forces so that you can be ready for whatever comes your way. Just know that it's a harsh galaxy out there and only the toughest survive.
How to Play
Battle for the Galaxy is a 3D top-down strategy game about fighting battles on other planets using the mouse. The entire game uses a UI that can be navigated with the cursor. To build and perform different actions, simply click on the related icon with the Left Mouse Button. Everything else runs automatically with buildings producing resources and your defenses protecting your base. To collect resources or train units, you need to click on the associated building and the related icon. The goal is to defend and expand your base to become a dominant force in the galaxy.
The home screen shows your base with your core facility being the most important part. As time goes on, you can earn Energy, Titanium, and Crystals for training units, building facilities, and purchasing upgrades. While in your base, enemies may occasionally attack with the intent to destroy your core, but any defenses and units you have will automatically fight to protect it. You can train units, perform processes, and build things, which will be completed over time or you can use resources to speed them up. As you level up and unlock more facilities, you'll also unlock more types of units.
When you have enough units, you can choose to attack enemy bases. This requires you to deploy units on the outskirts of the base upon which they will advance and attack the first building that comes into range. Your primary goal is to destroy the core, but you'll gain a higher score and more rewards if you destroy the whole base. Any units you lose will have to be trained again and if you lose all of your units, you will need to fall back.
Tips and Tricks
When you're first starting, try to avoid playing too aggressively. If you keep fighting and losing, you'll drain your resources which will make it harder for you to defend your base and build your forces back up. When training units, try to accommodate different base arrangements such as destroying walls, engaging defenses quickly, or keeping attacks at a distance.
