I’d entirely forgotten about Battlestar Galactica. I wouldn’t say hearing the show’s melancholy singsong theme during Gamescom’s Opening Night Live gave me Proustian nostalgia pangs, but it did fill me with a vague desire to look up Gunstar mods for Homeworld.
The game announcement in question was for Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes, a new tactical roguelite from the developers of Crying Suns. Published by Dotemu, it gives you quasi-isometric control of the human armada racing to escape the sinister Cylon fleet. You’ll divide your time between managing tensions aboard your ships via branching story beats, assigning limited upgrade resources, flushing out new vessels from the planets you visit, and fending off the perfidious toasters in real-time space combat. Here’s a trailer.
