The Sci-Fi Strategy RPG Ancient Frontier: Steel Shadows is out now:

Steel Shadows

Steel Shadows is a standalone RPG set in the epic universe of Ancient Frontier. You do NOT need to own or have played Ancient Frontier to enjoy this content. Take command of a rag tag band of pirates and outlaws as you fight your way across the Frontier for treasure and glory. Delve into our latest turn based tactical RPG.

You play as Rogan Harker, a recently freed convict. He travels to the Frontier to find old friends and start a new life. But the overpowering Federation still controls most of the Frontier, and the new and budding Alliance is no fan of outlaws. Hated and feared, the pirate life is one of constant danger. Friends and allies are hard to find and harder still to keep. Beset on all sides can Rogan find fame and fortune with his fledgling pirate fleet?


Features:
  • A full campaign with over 20 story missions
  • Over 50 procedurally generated side missions
  • Dynamic initiative-based turn-based combat
  • Purchase, outfit and control the unique Pirate faction ships
  • Hire and assign crew members that gain experience and power along with your ships
  • Hidden unique mercenaries and ships to add to your fleet
  • Experience over 50 random events
  • Customize your play style by unlocking technologies in an extensive Tech Tree
  • Large, detailed space maps to fight across
  • Three different strategic resources to manage
  • Dozens of different weapon systems and abilities to control
  • Includes both free DLCs; Ancient Frontier - The Crew and Ancient Frontier - Quests and Events
Will you survive the frontier?

Bought the first one this evening and played for an hour. Seems solid so far. The new one seems to be a new campaign more or less.

The space combat looks a bit like a modernised Star General. I might give it a try.

They messed up the combat. I'm thankful for them, since if our fantasy RPG takes off we might do a PROPER sci-fi turn based ship combat game!

Hmmm... looks decent. Well-priced. But I never thought I'd see the day where I complain about there being too many strategy/tactical RPGs to play.
