Ceres for PC is a tactical action game with elements of strategy and RPG, set in a science-fiction universe. The title is a debut production of Jötunn Games – an Icelandic independent studio, ed by a seasoned Dutch distributor, Iceberg Interactive, known for such strategy games as Starpoint Gemini.
The action of the game takes place in distant future, where a device called The Gate has malfunctioned. The titular station was created to connect the Solar system with other, uncharted worlds, as Earth had been annihilated and changed into a stony wasteland, floating around the Universe. The last remnants of human civilization and their machines have broken into warring factions, conducting warfare throughout the unbounded depths of space, filled with numerous alien races and other dangers. The player assumes the role of a young adventurer, who has just taken over his first ship with an ambition to become a legend among other explorers. What looked like a regular recon mission has become something much more dangerous, as our protagonist stood face to face with a mysterious AI called Ceres.
While creating the game, the developers were inspired by cult-classic titles such as Mount & Blade in space. During the game, we assume command over a squadron of fighters, taking part in missions ed by a main thread. Players can search for floating treasures, trade, or assaults other ships.
The game focuses mainly on combat and constant upgrading of the owned fleet. To be successful, we need to acquire adequate parts for our ships, such as weapons, shields, sensors and other modules, as well as competent crews, hiring captains and other team . During our playthroughs, we receive experience for each completed mission, unlocking a wide range of new upgrades and useful abilities, allowing e.g. hacking a taking over enemy ships. The space battles are definitely a highlight of the game, with hundreds of ships under our control - from small fighters up to powerful dreadnoughts.
The game was developed as a singleplayer-only title, and does not offer any multiplayer modes.
When it comes to the technical side of things, Ceres for PC conforms to the standards set by most present-day science-fiction strategy games. However, the game contains an advanced damage model – during combat, ships can end with individual modules and systems malfunctioning.
