    Prepare for an epic battle to save humanity in Crying Suns, a tactical roguelike space opera set in the waning days of a galactic empire. Inspired by such masterworks as Dune and Asimov’s Foundation series, Crying Suns sees a once flourishing empire falling apart after 700 years of supremacy. The reason: its OMNIs, superpowered AIs that faithfully served humankind, have stopped working. Without their support, the entire galaxy will fall into darkness and barbarism.

    There is one last hope to save everything. You awake on planet Gehenna, the final bastion of enlightenment and advanced technology, located in the far reaches of the empire. As the clone of the empire’s greatest admiral, Ellys Idaho, you are tasked by the last remaining OMNI, Kaliban, to journey across the stars to reactivate the rest of the OMNIs and save humanity. But to do so, you must first cross sectors of the galaxy that have fallen into war and chaos. Can you fight your way through the fallen empire to save it from itself?

    Crying Suns is a strategy game set in a procedurally generated universe. Send your fleet to fight in vicious tactical combat between battleships and squadrons. Encounter up to 300 different events on your quest. And follow a compelling, sweeping sci-fi saga about the final gasps of a dying space empire. Will you be the last hope for humanity?

    FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I permanently lose a squad member during a run, and if so, how does that affect future battles?
    Yes, squad members can permanently die. Their loss reduces your combat effectiveness in subsequent encounters and can impact your strategic options, forcing you to adapt your tactics and squad composition.
    How does the 'Time Loop' mechanic work in relation to my exploration of the sectors?
    Each run represents a new attempt to save the Imperium, where you revisit sectors with modified layouts and enemy encounters. The knowledge gained from previous runs, like resource locations and specific enemy weaknesses, provides an advantage in the subsequent runs.
    If my ship is destroyed during a run, what happens to my progress?
    If your ship is destroyed, you are sent back to the start of the current chapter, retaining the knowledge gained but losing all resources and ship upgrades accumulated during that run.
    What is the primary function of the 'Omicron' resource and how is it acquired?
    Omicron is a critical resource used for ship upgrades, squad healing, and activating special abilities during battles. It is primarily acquired through exploration, completing objectives, and defeating enemies within each sector.
    How does the game balance the strategic layer of exploration with the tactical combat encounters?
    The game balances these layers by providing choices regarding which sectors to explore and when, and how you outfit your ship and squad with upgrades. Success in combat depends on a careful mixture of pre-battle strategic choices and skillful tactical execution.
    How do the 'Officer' abilities and their deployment during combat affect the outcome of battles?
    Officers have unique abilities that can be activated during combat to provide tactical advantages, such as healing, damage buffs, or debuffs. Properly managing officer abilities is key to winning difficult encounters.
    Besides the main story, what other objectives or side missions exist during the exploration phase?
    Exploration offers various side objectives and quests, such as rescuing survivors, discovering hidden technologies, or uncovering lore. Completing these provides advantages during the run or reveals more of the game's story.
    Does the game offer a way to influence the randomness of combat encounters?
    While there is an element of randomness, the player has influence over the outcome by managing squad composition, choosing upgrades, and deploying officers and their abilities at the appropriate times.
    What role does the 'Hyperdrive' play in the gameplay loop?
    The Hyperdrive is used to travel between sectors. Its efficiency and fuel consumption add a layer of strategic planning as the player must manage fuel while weighing the advantages of faster travel versus the risks of unexplored sectors.
    How does the game reward exploration and what kind of discoveries can be made?
    Exploration rewards the player with resources, lore fragments, ship upgrades, and occasionally powerful new weapons or abilities for your squad. Discoveries provide context to the story and better prepare the player for the future challenges.
