Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes is a hybrid of RTS and turn-based strategies, created by the independent studio Alt Shift. It is set in the universe of the titular sci-fi TV series. The game focuses on battles in space, from which we never emerge unscathed.

Gameplay

As commanders of a fleet of space ships, we engage in a battle for survival against a numerically superior army of rebellious robots called Cylons. This requires us to make a series of difficult choices. They may involve allocating valuable resources, solving problems in the fleet, or dealing with conflicting interests of factions on board.

The gameplay in Scattered Hopes proceeds in two phases - turn-based and in real time with an active pause. It starts with preparations, during which we organize our team, gather resources and try to find as much scrap for upgrades and fuel for teleportation as possible, before the Cylons appear.

When setting the priorities for our crew's actions, we are preparing for the inevitable battle. In the face of it, we deploy fighters from our hangars and direct them in real-time battles. We strive to minimize damage to our central ship and utilize its onboard defensive systems against the most serious threats.

The goal is to survive the attacks until our fleet completes the calculations for the light speed jump, which will allow us to escape to another sector of the galaxy. The battles in Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes always end with some losses and there is also a permadeath mechanic. New attempts may offers new lessons. Tactical options expand as we unlock additional squadrons, weapons, traits, as well as meta-upgrades, which come in handy in future sessions.

Story

In the face of rebellion from robots created to make people's lives easier, Admiral Adama calls Captain Gunstar to join Battlestar Galactica. The commander of the surviving fleet is leading the escape from the destructive offensive of the Cylons.
