lo mejor de lo mejor y dificil de pasar asi que lo recomiendo.

Developed and published by Massive Damage, Inc., Halcyon 6: Starbase Commander is an inventive blend of 4X strategy, base management, tactical RPG combat, and science fiction storytelling. The game begins with humanity on the brink of collapse as a relentless alien threat advances toward Earth. Standing between civilization and destruction is Halcyon 6, an ancient and technologically advanced starbase abandoned by a mysterious precursor race. As the newly appointed commander, players are tasked with restoring this massive installation, rebuilding its capabilities, and leading humanity's desperate effort to survive. The game successfully combines grand strategic planning with smaller, character-driven decisions, resulting in a campaign that constantly rewards careful thinking and long-term planning. The core gameplay revolves around rebuilding the station while managing a growing empire across nearby sectors of space. Every restored room expands the station's functionality by unlocking new production facilities, research opportunities, or military improvements. Resources remain limited throughout much of the campaign, making every construction project an important investment rather than a routine upgrade. Choosing whether to strengthen defenses, improve manufacturing, expand scientific research, or increase fleet production forces players to constantly weigh immediate needs against future ambitions. This management system remains engaging because every completed objective directly strengthens humanity's chances of survival. Exploration adds another rewarding dimension to the experience. Numerous star systems contain abandoned outposts, ancient relics, dangerous anomalies, hidden resources, and competing alien civilizations. Sending fleets into unexplored territory regularly uncovers new missions, diplomatic opportunities, and unexpected story events that keep each campaign feeling dynamic. Random encounters introduce rescue operations, political disputes, scientific mysteries, pirate attacks, and other situations that require thoughtful decisions rather than simple combat solutions. These unpredictable events help ensure that every playthrough develops its own unique narrative while encouraging players to adapt to changing circumstances. Combat is divided into space battles and planetary engagements, with both using accessible yet surprisingly deep turn-based mechanics. Fleet battles emphasize teamwork between different classes of ships, each offering specialized abilities that can weaken enemies, protect allies, or unleash devastating attacks. Victory often depends on combining skills effectively rather than relying purely on numerical superiority. Ground missions place officers directly into tactical encounters where class abilities, status effects, healing, and coordinated attacks become equally important. The variety of character classes and skill combinations encourages experimentation, rewarding players who carefully assemble balanced teams capable of handling different combat scenarios. Officer progression adds strong role-playing elements that make the campaign feel personal. As commanders gain experience, they unlock new abilities, improve their statistics, and become increasingly valuable assets. Recruiting officers with different specialties allows for a wide range of tactical possibilities, while equipping them with better gear and assigning them to critical missions strengthens both fleets and away teams. Because these officers accompany players throughout the campaign, they gradually become memorable individuals rather than disposable units, creating greater emotional investment in their survival and success. The game's narrative strikes an enjoyable balance between serious science fiction and lighthearted humor. Although humanity faces an existential crisis, the writing frequently introduces amusing dialogue, quirky alien personalities, and entertaining side events that prevent the story from becoming overly grim. Multiple alien factions possess distinct motivations and political interests, allowing diplomacy and negotiation to play meaningful roles alongside military conquest. Instead of presenting a simple conflict between good and evil, the game builds a lively galaxy where alliances, rivalries, and unexpected developments continually reshape the campaign. Visually, Halcyon 6 embraces detailed pixel art that captures the spirit of classic strategy games while maintaining its own distinctive style. The starbase evolves visually as new facilities are restored, ships feature attractive retro-inspired designs, and combat animations deliver satisfying visual feedback despite their minimalist presentation. Colorful planetary environments and expressive character portraits further enhance the game's personality. Combined with an atmospheric soundtrack that shifts naturally between peaceful exploration and tense battles, the presentation creates an immersive science fiction setting that remains appealing throughout lengthy play sessions. Despite its many strengths, the game occasionally suffers from repetitive pacing during extended campaigns. Managing numerous fleets, assigning officers, and repeatedly gathering resources can become time-consuming as the empire grows larger. Some combat encounters also last longer than necessary due to layered status effects and lengthy ability animations. New players may initially feel overwhelmed by the large number of interconnected systems, although the gradual progression helps ease the learning curve. Those who enjoy detailed management and deliberate strategy will likely appreciate the complexity, while players seeking faster-paced action may find the slower tempo less appealing. Halcyon 6: Starbase Commander ultimately succeeds by combining several genres into a remarkably cohesive experience. It offers satisfying strategic depth through meaningful base construction, rewarding exploration, flexible tactical combat, engaging officer development, and an entertaining science fiction setting filled with memorable events and colorful factions. Although its pacing occasionally slows during the later stages, the game's ambitious design, strong replay value, and interconnected gameplay systems make it a standout title for fans of thoughtful strategy games. It remains an impressive example of how management simulation, tactical combat, and role-playing progression can work together to create an experience that feels consistently rewarding from beginning to end. Rating: 8/10

가볍게 즐길 수 있는 턴제 로그라이크 정도로 생각하고 접근했는데 전혀 아니고 정말 많은 걸 해야하는 게임입니다. 본인 거점을 자원을 모아 업그레이드, 연구하며 각 클래스의 우주선을 건조,운영해야합니다. 외부 세력과의 평판 줄타기를 해서 정치도 해야하는 굉장히 바쁜 게임입니다. 턴제전략 특성상 시간이 굉장히 오래걸려서 이것만 좀 시간이 줄었다면 좋았을 것 같습니다. 전투 방식은 우주선 전투와 지상 전투가 따로 있는데 이걸 따로 스킬트리를 올려야하는 불편함이 있습니다.. 또 각종 디버프를 주는 공격과 해당 디버프가 걸린 상태의 타겟에 특정공격을 하면 추가 공격이 들어가는 식의 공략으로 효율적으로 전투를 치뤄야하는 방식이라 콤보가 잘 들어가냐 아니냐로 전투 난이도가 달라지기때문에 파티를 짤 때 어떻게 연계시킬지 고민하는 재미도 있었습니다. 결론은 게임 운영과 스토리 진행에 자원을 모으느라 시간을 많이 소모해야하는 점만 제외한다면 재미있는 게임이고, SF 전략 게임, 턴제 파티게임을 좋아하신다면 추천드립니다. 이 게임은 구버전이고 같은 게임인 라이트스피드 에디션이 있는데 라이트스피드 에디션이 좀 더 템포가 빠르다고 하는 평가가 있는데 그 쪽이 좀 더 좋을수도 있겠다는 생각이 듭니다.

Super cool.

It's a resource management game with RPG elements set in space. You will usually be in control until a simple mistake derails your entire game. Play the Lightspeed Edition for the best experience. Overall: 3/5

Fun game, well made.
