An unfavorable anomaly could easily turn into a game-over if you're already in bad shape.Ĭrying Suns really hits the mark with its setting and story, but random encounters can get repetitive. You never know what you might get with an anomaly, so approaching these with extreme caution is ideal. In each sector you'll have local star systems, or nodes, that your ship can jump to, which can contain scavenge-friendly resources, planets to explore via ground expeditions, trading posts, and/or 'anomalies', which are high-risk, high-reward random encounters. The game's story takes place over 5 chapters, each of which plays out over 3 sectors of space.

And of course, if your main hull takes enough damage to get KO'd, you lose the game and you have to start over.

Damaged squadrons can be repaired at select star systems in each sector of the map, but it is possible to lose squadrons entirely if they take too much damage without having a chance to repair first.

The game uses a rock-paper-scissors approach to squadron battles, where your craft are weak to specific types of damage and in turn, dole out massive damage against certain types of enemy squadrons. You have just a few open slots at your disposal for actively deployed squadrons, so you have to choose your fighters carefully going into an encounter. Take down opposing battleships using your squadrons, mounted weapons, and highly skilled officers in pausable real-time encounters. Once you encounter an enemy battleship, you'll both wind up on opposite sides of a gridded battlefield with a handful of fixed assets at your disposal-your battleship's hull (which acts as your total HP), your ship-mounted weapons, and a variety of squadrons like fighters and drones that will do the bulk of the heavy-hitting and defensive maneuvering for you.
