Age of Asteroids

Age of Asteroids puts you in control of your own mining company with the task to build an entire mining empire within the asteroid belt between Jupiter and Mars.

After humanity developed its first means that made space travel a reality, Mars was the first planet to be colonized. As the population grew in numbers, resources became scarce on the surface of the planet and more expensive by the day.

To compensate for the high demand of resources, a few mining companies decided to try their luck and started to exploit the nearby asteroid belt establishing a few small colonies on the largest space rocks.

The race for resources also started a war between the mining companies in sectors where the military has no power and laws no longer exist.

The key to success is of course creating large colonies on as many asteroids as possible before your competition does. To achieve that you will have to gather large amounts of resources which will allow you to expand your influence and build various defenses to protect your colonies from possible attackers.

Mining a rock in space has its drawbacks when other companies aim to get rich as soon as possible and for that you will have to build a solid defense that can also be sent to attack your enemies.

In Age of Asteroids you will be able to build various types of spaceships, equip them with powerful weapons while preparing for the final assault that can give you control over the entire sector.

Building missile silos on your asteroids is also a good approach if you want to launch surprise attacks on your enemy bases without having to sacrifice your spaceships fleet.

Although the game is in its early Alpha stage, Age of Asteroids looks like a promising real-time strategy title. The mechanics looks rather interesting, but we'll have to wait and see if the developer manages to implement all the promised features and deliver a truly unique RTS experience.
