About This Game
Combining the best of
space combat and
real time strategy. Victory can be
tactical, a
dogfight or
capital ship slugging match - depending on how you decide to achieve it.
A desolate asteroid field on the edge of the solar system erupts in
war. Your forces rely on you to take the battle to the enemy. Build up
defenses and fleets, repair and upgrade your command ship, lead your
forces to reclaim and conquer territory.
Game play:
The seat of a fighter, the bridge of a cruiser and a tactical battle map
are your tools of war. Void Destroyer puts you in command and gives you
ultimate freedom over the your forces and the art of war.
If you ever wanted to directly control your forces in a real time
strategy game or be able to build ships and command to your wing-men and
fleets in a space combat simulator like you can in a RTS - this is the
game for you. Void Destroyer combines elements from space combat
simulators and real time strategy games. No longer are you limited on
how to control and command. Battles are waged on your terms, you are
given the tools. How you use them is up to you.
Jump into a fighter to engage in dogfights, then switch into a
frigate to take out an enemy corvette. Build defensive platforms to
augment the security of your base. Issue commands to your attack ships
to distract enemy defenders to allow your marine frigates to board an
enemy's base. Defend and oversee asteroid mining craft to have the
resources necessary to support your fleets.
By combining elements of two genres, enemies can be more brutal, fights can be larger and you can overcome greater challenges.
Think there's not enough time? Use time dilation (slow down time) to make time for tactics.

lasting impression on gaming history.
