Star Dynasties is an empire-management grand strategy game where players take on the role of a family of space nobility shepherding humanity through a new dark age. We first saw it back in August at Gamescom, when I said that it seemed a lot like Star Dynasties is made by developer Pawley Games and published by Iceberg Interactive.
The demo lets you play the first 20 turns of a Star Dynasties game. It's a complex grand strategy game, and unfinished, but the tutorials walk you through the types of actions you can take by slowly opening up options.. You play as Bern Welch, a widely-disliked yet powerful ruler within the larger league of the Harper Kingdom. Playing it, I was impressed by the game's system—you better understand the behavior of characters you've already met or that have frequent communication with you or people you know.
Per the developers, "being a demo, it's not in a finished state, so all standard disclaimers apply." The devs also intend to release a pre-recorded playthrough of the game on October 21st, which will be posted on Steam, and a public playtest some time later this year.
You can learn more about Star Dynasties on its official website, and it has a page on Steam to grab the demo. Star Dynasties is set to release some time in 2021.
