Devouring Stars app for iPhone and iPad
Harvest stars and fight with black holes in a magnificent RTS set into the cosmos.
Devouring Stars is a real-time strategy game based on adaptative unit combination and space resources harvesting. Devouring Stars aspires to bring a different scope to the RTS genre while offering visual and audio refinement.
In Devouring Stars, you play a tribe of godlike entities trapped in Tartarus, a corner of the universe as far beneath hell as heaven is high above the earth. Hunted by 4 other tribes, you have been given the ability to draw your own fate. But to what extent?
To defend themselves, those entities have the ability to devour space starfields and create dynamic protective nebulae, or to merge to grow into more advanced units with special abilities (freezing enemies, taking control of them, attacking them from afar, etc.). Depending on the set of entities a game is started with, different strategies may be unfolded.
Devouring Stars is mainly inspired by Dan Simmons Illium but also by games like Homeworld, Eufloria, Starcraft or Faster Than Light.

Latest reviews of Devouring Stars app for iPhone and iPad
An amazing game, but very buggy, and visually stunning
I played this for about 10 to 15 minutes and lost interest. Interesting idea but the gameplay left a lot to be desired.
This game has more than meets the eye. Secrets and intrigue kept me playing. Plus the various combinations are fun to tinker with.
Shitty game, not worth the money.
I bought this game expecting something crappy, but by gods is it good. The graphics are unbelievable and the levels are all challenging when you begin. This game is worth the 5$ very much, maybe even more. Im glad that I got this game, because its really good.
