New fast 4X releases a demo! Enjoy space strategy in a nutshell

Astro Protocol, a space 4X game where each run takes 1 to 2 hours only, makes its steam debut showcasing a brand new demo updating the itch.io version. Experience turn based strategy at its core in this preview of a more casual 4X experience!


Explore, Expand, Exploit, Exterminate. It’s the core of every 4X game, and Astro Protocol is no exception. But rather than a classic 4X title, we create a more casual experience, for turn based strategy fans having families to care for or just too little time to play full on classic 4X games that last several hours, if not days.


Other games have made that possible already, but Astro Protocol has something else: it returns to the basics of turn based strategy, focusing on base building, army formation, research and combat. No diplomacy, pure conquest. It’s a take it or leave it bet, but we believe it might please a solid share of strategy fans.


There’s a lot you can do in our game: explore a hex-based unique galaxy map, discover anomalies (randomized events) unlocking powerful rewards, colonize and terraform planets to expand your empire, build space stations and ships to control the stars, research new technologies to gain the upper hand, crush enemy fleets and race for victory points against rival factions!
