About This Game

Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes is a survival fleet-management roguelite with procedural narrative design and real-time space battles. Shoulder the heavy burden of leadership as you make critical decisions for your fleet’s survival under constant pressure.

You command a fleet of survivors relentlessly chased by the Cylon Fleet. Each new run represents another desperate attempt to rejoin Humanity’s last hope: the Battlestar Galactica.

Prepare, fight, and survive at all costs. 

So say we all.

High-Stakes Fleet Management

Fleet Management phases offer limited turns to prepare until the next inevitable Cylon assault. As the enemy draws closer, designate priorities to ensure your fleet’s survival:

• Dispatch expeditions to nearby points of interest for resources

• Allocate supplies and personnel to resolve urgent situations

• Upgrade ships for survivability and firepower

• Train crew to improve efficiency in and out of combat

Do-or-Die Decisions

Your decisions continuously affect the Fleet’s overall status: faction politics, healthcare, and maintenance levels. Each indicator dynamically triggers narrative events tailored to your fleet’s condition. Your fleet’s fate can evolve in drastic ways if you’re not careful: epidemics, critical system malfunctions, or even a full-blown civil war.

In times of crisis, the Fleet looks to you to make hard decisions. Given your limited resources and time, determine if your fleet can afford to solve a crisis immediately or suffer its negative effects over time. 

Perhaps the most challenging crisis you’ll face will be discovering a Cylon has infiltrated your ranks: investigating suspects will cost resources, but taking too long will cost lives.

Real-Time Combat With Tactical Pause

The Cylon Fleet overwhelmingly outnumbers you. Each encounter is about survival, not victory. Fight high-risk tactical battles while your fleet prepares an FTL jump to safety.

• Coordinate frontline squadrons with powerful Gunstar strikes in real time

• Use Tactical Pause at any time to preview your attacks and enemy movements

• Create synergies to deploy enemy-specific strategies by leveraging your unit strengths and unique abilities.

Roguelite Replayability

Rejoining the Battlestar Galactica is a perilous mission with no margin for error. Most fleets will fail, but each attempt will provide new ways to overcome the unforgiving odds stacked against your survival. 

• Unlock up to four starting fleets, each with its own unique playstyle

• Clear trials to access additional squadron units, gunstar weapons, and modifiers that will appear in your next run

• Invest in valuable meta upgrades that will benefit all future fleets you command

• Challenge higher difficulty levels to test your limits as a commander
