Space Colony HD

Space Colony HD updates the original strategy sim with high definition graphics and a greater field of view, often allowing players to see attacks on their base and points of interest at a glance, without the need to scroll around the map. The game has been remastered to support resolutions up to 2560x1600.

In Space Colony HD players build a base and defend it from hostile alien threats on different planets throughout the galaxy, all while keeping their ragtag crew of colonists alive and content. Your crew includes the amicable Venus Jones, Scandinavian biker Stig Svensson, cybernetics expert Mr. Zhang, former chicken farmer Billy-Bob Perkins and other colourful characters. Each has a unique personality with specific skills and needs, as well as different interactions. Keeping the crew happy is important, but players must also keep them alive by maintaining oxygen levels, work productivity and defending against aliens.

Space Colony is not your run of the mill life simulator. The game features a wealth of different structures, weapons, aliens and real-time strategy mechanics befitting of a base builder. Establishing mining operations, colonist facilities and perimeter defences is up to the player, as is deciding which planets to colonise. As a throwback to the Stronghold games, players can choose to take a “Military” or “Civilian” path, battling indigenous life or building intergalactic golf courses instead.
