Sword of the Stars: Ground Pounders

[Sony Black]

So anyone remembers Panzer General?

Sots: GP is a hex-based, sci-fi strategy game for PC & Android - featuring the tanks, air craft and infantry of the Sword of the Stars universe.
It s curretnly beeing funded in a indiegogo campaign(http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/sword-of-the-stars-ground-pounders/x/1677170).

The campaign description:

Sword of the Stars: Ground Pounders is a turn-based strategy war game set in an exciting far-future science fiction universe. We've launched this project on Indiegogo because we want to make a fun beer-and-pretzels war game, complete with old school hex maps and strategic thinking. Ground Pounders is a game about the armies of the far future, with players controlling high-tech tanks, air craft and infantry assets of both Human and Alien factions. The overall setting of the game is a desperate frontier war in the 25th century, where the Human race is fighting tooth and nail for its place among the stars.


Inspired by classic strategy games like Panzer General, our ultimate goal is to create a fresh new twist on an old genre which has been neglected for too long by modern developers. Introducing modern mechanics and making the game playable on multiple modern platforms will give this classic strategy form a new lease on life. This is our chance to introduce a whole new generation of players to the joy of CRUSHING YOUR ENEMIES HEX BY HEX.

Ground Pounders will be enjoyable in both single-player and multi-player modes, and will be able to connect players who are playing on different devices. We would like to set the bar for fun, flexible, portable and easy-to-play war games that nonetheless offer some depth, challenge, and re-playability.

Features:

• Control one of 2 Armies - Human or Hivers
• 50+ units covering Land, Sea, and Air forces
• Battle across alien worlds on exotic battlefields, including airless moons, lava plains, and meteor blasted wastelands
• Seize orbital superiority and call down Orbital Bombardment on your foes
• Build Airfields, Fortified Areas, and repair/destroy Bridges
• Improve your Unit's experience and abilities over 2 Playable Campaigns
• Unlock and collect Combat Cards for each playable Race
• Build unique Combat Card Decks and tune them for specific Battles
• Choose from over 30 Scenarios, playable in Skirmish Mode or Head-to-Head Multi-player Mode
• Cross-Platform Support for PC and Android-compatible devices
• Create and Trade your own Battles using Scenario and Unit Editors
• Enjoy a SotSdex filled with Lore details on famous Units, Personalities, Battles and Weapon Systems

And there is already a playable alpha demo, which i find already really enjoyable

It had a KS campaign running which sadly didn't make it, so they went to indiegogo and changed their plans for a lower goal (though the whole old content will be added as the first stretch goal)
