Screenshots from Battlestation: Harbinger


Battlestation: Harbinger features the known characters from previous Battlestation games. The main story is driven forward by dialogue.


The Battlestation: Harbinger build screen. Red slots for big cannons, blue slots for small point defense cannons and facilities. Green round slots for hangar bays. We also have a new upgrade system, where you can upgrade specific attributes of a turret, hangar bay or other facility.


The mission screen. There are different missions for you to complete. Escort friendly ships to safety, destroy enemy ships, clear out sectors and so on. The roguelike features make every game its own, so you will always have different set ups of missions in a game!


The star map screen, which you use to travel to new sectors. The mini map to the right shows what your scanners reveal from the sectors. The bigger the red triangles are, the bigger enemy ships will greet you there! You are able to choose the section within a sector to jump into, giving you more strategical choices in your attack approach.


An epic battle between Humans and Trolgars taking place. Battlestation: Harbinger has real-time battles with a pause mechanism. You will be able to change the formation of your fleet, move them individually, target all of your fleets cannons on a certain ship, order your fighter squadrons to attack and so on.

Indeed Commander! It will be a worldwide release and the release price is set at $3.99. A premium game with no in-apps.

 

We have a iPhone 4s as our oldest test device and the game is very playable on it. We have quite good optimizing so most devices should work well. From our own testing we can say iPhone 4s upwards commander.

 

The game features multiple different ships that you can buy for your fleet. These have different sets of slots for cannons and hangars. You can then customize each ship by deciding which cannon you want to equip, which hangar (The game has many different hangars as well), and which facilities (Teleport, shield boost etc.). These will give you many strategic options and nice depth to the game!

 

We have great music, don't worry about that It's not quite feasible to have such epic music, because a trailer plays out more like a movie. But we have invested in the music department and I don't think it will disappoint you! It's music that sets the exact right mood and still goes well with the game play.

 

So great to have you on board commander!

 

That is great news commander! This is our dream as well, it has been for a longer time. We really hope we can make Battlestation into a beloved brand, with a multitude of good games. Thank you for being on board!
