What is Children of a Dead Earth?
A single-player space warfare strategy simulation follows the solar system's descent into war. You design spacecraft and their components, plan orbital maneuvers, and command fleets through a story campaign, or pit custom ships against each other in a sandbox.
For you if...
- +you enjoy fine-tuning weapons, engines, and spacecraft components
- +you want orbital mechanics to shape space combat
- +you like testing custom ships in sandbox battles
Not for you if...
- −you want quick fights without planning encounters
- −you prefer a gentle introduction to complex systems
- −you expect arcade-style dogfights instead of a technical simulation
