Crying Suns is a science-fiction strategic videogame with roguelike elements developed by Alt Shift Studio; its release is scheduled for December 2018. The game has been funded through a Kickstarter campaign, managing to receive pledges for about € 70.000 over the 25.000 asked by the developer.

Game mode
The game is set in a far future, in which humanity has colonized most of the universe lead by the Empire, who fights the many pirates that plunder the galaxies.

As seen in the demo version, Crying Suns will have a single player mode campaign, with many places to explore and missions to complete, both by fighting or by solving issues via text. In this campaign players take the role of an Empire admiral clone, woken from his sleep by a droid so he can solve the mystery of the blackout of all the machines in the galaxy, that provide humans with food, medicines, and work. Travelling in this ruined galaxy, populated by raiders, scavengers and desperate civilians, the protagonist will have to take a serie of choices that will lead him to solve the mystery and confront the bandit leader.Proceeding in the main quest will grant the possibility to upgrade the admiral's fleet, also recruiting new battleships, heroes, and soldiers (employed in explorations on the many planets in the game), also unlocking new weapons and abilities.The permadeath system, along with the random generated galaxies, grants that every new campaign will be unique, with different challenges every time.
