44 of 44 · most liked firstCrying Suns is 5! A neat roguelike tactical game. Good news: this team is working on an "ambitious title that shares many elements of the Crying Suns DNA but is set in a different universe that will surely surprise players." 👀

unlabelledView post →🎂Our game Crying Suns just turned 7, and ironically, it’s becoming more relevant than ever. (I can almost hear Kaliban gloating about the latest news about AI development and “the risks of misalignment.” "Boo!") As for updates: new languages are coming soon! store.steampowered.com/app/873940/C...

unlabelledView post →Fine, I'll bite. Indie game checkpoint. Beautifully drawn pixel art outside of combat. Detailed 3D art during hex-grid combat. Haunting soundtrack. Poignant storytelling. Gameplay that goes above and beyond a regular roguelike. Crying Suns, by the wonderful people at @altshiftgames.bsky.social
unlabelledView post →Clair Obscur does such a good job of having a deeply sad world without the game itself being a bummer. I think the only other game I've played that pulled that off was Crying Suns.

unlabelledView post →So I was excited for this game, especially when the trailer recreated the intro to the show, but now that I've discovered it's from the same devs who did Crying Suns (one of my favorite indie games) just confirms this is going to be incredible. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WPwa...

unlabelledView post →3. A Game That Is Underrated - Crying Suns is a fun spaceship strategy roguelite but the overall mood, atmosphere, and story set it apart. Really wish more people were aware of it.

unlabelledView post →I'm honestly not sure if Scattered Hopes is better. It's a good game, but Crying Suns had such an interesting unique story and just great style.
unlabelledView post →This game shouldn't be overlooked. Crying Suns was GREAT. Same devs. It didn't disappoint me. More will be played tomorrow probably on stream. gaming.rip/posts/battle...
unlabelledView post →Sounds kind of like this game store.steampowered.com/app/2535950/... it’s by the Crying Suns devs, though I don’t think it’s fully “start with everything but bleeding down to nothing”
unlabelledView post →I picked up Crying Suns on the Winter Sale and have put a few hours in, very interesting idea but need to put more time in. But I played enough to realise: the BSG game they made is Crying Suns But More Refined and with a BSG wrapper on it.
unlabelledView post →I hope this doesn't remain Steam exclusive. Big fan of Crying Suns (recently picked it back up after a break from playing), and this looks to have a lot of the same things I love in that game! Would be great to be able to pick it up.
unlabelledView post →So, the #BattleStarGallactica #ScatteredHopes trailer didn't wow me, but on I hunch I looked up the developer and... yeah, it's #AltShift, who made #CryingSuns, possibly my favorite bleak sci-fi video game. So it goes on the wishlist. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2535950/Battlestar_Galactica_Scattered_Hopes/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/873940/Crying_Suns/ #VideoGames #Gamescon (1/2)

unlabelledView post →There's still time to fix this (their last game, Crying Suns, had really good writing that sounded like native English) but it's a big negative especially for an adaptation of one of the best written TV shows.
unlabelledView post →This new #voyager game, #acrosstheunknown, reminds me of Crying Suns, Out There, and even FTL just a little. These are good things. Looking forward to trying it.

The best news I've seen out of #gamescon this year is that Alt Shift's second game is set in one of my most beloved franchises: Battlestar Galactica.

unlabelledView post →The other game that's probably come closest is Crying Suns but again, some missing secret sauce. Crying Suns put you in charge of something more akin to a battlestar than Leia's corvette at the start of A New Hope. The sense of real stakes that came with that small scale just wasn't there.
