Galactic Reign goes live
Turned-based multiplayer strategy game from Resident Evil dev for Windows 8 and Windows Phone 7 and 8 now available.
 
Galactic Reign has arrived. After much secrecy, Microsoft today officially announced and released the turn-based multiplayer strategy game for Windows 8 and Windows Phone 7 and 8.
The game was developed by Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City studio Slant Six Games.
In Galactic Reign, players and their opponents will colonize planets, design ships, and build fleets as they fight to control the galaxy.
Microsoft says ship design is "crucial," as players must predict what their opponent is building and design a model to counter it.
Battle sequences are rendered in the cloud, Microsoft said, showing results through cinematic movie sequences. Players can take turns whenever they like, with the game advancing once both sides have submitted their actions.
In addition to a head-to-head mode, Galactic Reign features a range of single-player missions.
A Galactic Reign trial, which includes one game species, is available to download for free. Players can unlock all three species through an additional $5 purchase. Galactic Reign also includes Xbox Live achievements and multiple leaderboards.
