About the Game

Go where no strategy gamer has gone before - beyond all-previous award-winning 5-star series. Star General is light-years ahead of its proud ancestors and proposes a two-level combat system that accommodates space combat and surface combat. Resource management - conquer enemy planets and develop them for your needs.

See the beauty of over 90 fully rendered 3D starships. 100+ ground units and multiple planet types.

Command a multi-planetary force as you struggle to repel the advances of six alien races. Engage in multiple scenarios as any of 7 different races. And be prepared to put in some time. The scope of Star General is as vast as space itself - with well over 100 hours of gameplay.

The sky is no longer the limit. So light up the heavens in a cosmic battle - for the right to be called STAR GENERAL.
