General information
Year 2199. Assemble an elite crew and make allies to combat a shadowy organization threatening the future of humanity. Face overwhelming odds with strategy. Make your choices and save us from extinction.
Element: Space is a brand new take on turn-based tactical squad RPGs set two-hundred years in the future. As Captain Christopher Pietham, you will lead your crew into battle in order to save humanity from extinction! Travel to the far reaches of spaces, recruit allies, gather equipment and combat deadly enemies. In battle, you will have to strategically maneuver your squad, utilize cover, flank your enemies and combine your companions’ skills and unique abilities for deadly effect! Choosing when to engage your enemies up close and when to pick them off from afar will be critical for gaining the upper-hand. Your ideological decisions will mark how the rest of the Galaxy perceives you. Make sure to forge strong political alliances to ensure your victory in the final confrontation. You hold the fate of the Galaxy in your hands. Good luck, Captain!
