DALLAS – 12th March 2021 – Expand your hold on the galaxy by managing galactic outposts in the latest update of Alliance of the Sacred Suns™, Kathawk Studios™ 4X/grand strategy title with RPG elements published by Hooded Horse™. Update 1.2 releases to Alpha testers on Steam today, and brings a revamp of the Planetary System View menus, significant improvements to the UI and performance, and the introduction of the aforementioned Outpost Management System.
Due to the RPG elements and character-focused narrative of Alliance of the Sacred Suns, players will need to use everything and everyone at their disposal to effectively run their Empire, keeping officials and citizens happy as they navigate the intricate web of politics dominating the many Noble Houses and administrative offices of an interstellar civilization. The new Outpost System adds another tool to the ruler’s belt, allowing players to customise and upgrade military, energy, farming, and mining outposts and establish them in unclaimed systems to create a beachhead for further expansion.
“Alliance of the Sacred Suns involves taking the role of the newly crowned emperor or empress of a failing interstellar state” said Tim Bender, CEO of Hooded Horse. “Unlike most space strategy games, the player does not lead an ascendent newborn civilization in its inevitable expansion, enjoying a continuous golden age where each turn involves reaching new heights. Instead, the player’s empire is old -- and dying -- and they must use every tool to try to stave off decline, as well as revive imperial authority that has all but disappeared. Today’s update allows the player to establish outposts to reclaim and expand imperial control in the outer systems, as well as making significant enhancements to the UI that promise greater immersion into the role of a galactic ruler.”
A new trailer has also just been released, showcasing the unique hybrid strategy and RPG gameplay of this character-driven grand strategy title: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jenUMvkmYvY
Alliance of the Sacred Suns will release in 2021, and can be wishlisted at Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1113400/Alliance_of_the_Sacred_Suns/
