Big news today for the Alt Shift team! After 3 years of development, we are so happy and excited to finally release our new game, Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes.
Scattered Hopes is a narrative and tactical roguelite where you take command of a gunstar and its fleet, escaping Cylons after their attack on Caprica. Your goal is to rejoin humanity’s last hope, the fleet led by the Battlestar Galactica.
View game pageThe game's design was built around three key elements: replayability, asymmetrical tactical combat, and tough choices.
Replayability: Scattered Hopes is a roguelite, in order to progress, you will play several runs, always different, thanks to procedural content inside a run, and also depending on your strategy and narrative choices, but also thanks to unlocks and upgrades between runs.
Asymmetrical tactical fights: You take the role of a military tactician, as Commander Adama, trying to get the most out of each battle. Fights are based on a “resist until you can jump” principle: the enemy force is so overwhelming that the objective is purely escape for survival, as in the TV show.
Hard choices and ambiguous decisions: Most decisions involve a life-threatening crisis. Most of the time, you don't have complete information on the situation, but have to make decisions under pressure. The consequences are sometimes difficult to anticipate; decisions have long-term repercussions, and are often not to the liking of all fleet members and factions.
Here is a trailer to give a glimpse of it:
As well as the standard edition, we are also deploying the Commander Bundle, including our official artbook and full official soundtrack. Relive your epic journey to the Battlestar Galactica on demand with the OST, and discover exclusive concept art and see how the creative process shaped our game.
