First

Grimstar: Prequel is a demo to Grimstar: Crystals are the New Oil!, a Real-time Strategy game.

It's presenting basic mechanics and an overall concept of the game.

The earth’s resources are depleted, and the energy crisis is imminent. But there is still hope – the discovery of a distant world, which is rich in a new kind of natural energy resource. The name of the new world is “Grimstar”. That is where your brother lost his life, and the laws of the company he worked for require you to take his place until his contract is fulfilled. So you set out to do your service and to discover more about your brother's death.... Grimstar is a real-time strategy game about exploiting a foreign planet as efficiently as possible.

The second

  • Single-player campaign:

    Exciting single-player campaign: which also revolves around finding out more about the death of your brother.

  • Level up system:

    With every mission you play, you level up and unlock valuable upgrades and new units and buildings with which you can exploit the planet even more efficiently.

  • Different planets:

    there are 3 different planets to choose from, each of which is unlocked upon reaching a higher level. Each planet has its own vegetation and special characteristics. The missions on each planet have different victory conditions: Either all crystals must be mined or alien artefacts must be collected. In addition, there are various command missions in between, during which special objectives must be fulfilled.

  • Hero units: There are various hero units in the game, which once called can be called anew in every mission without giving up resources. The hero units also level up and thus become stronger after each mission. And as soon as they level up enough, they get new weapons.
  • Explore and exploit: Explore the alien planets and harvest all the resources to make your company a success. Command your armies against the alien hordes of the enemy planet as effectively as possible and using as few resources as possible. The more resources you have left at the end, the higher your level.

Update 1.2.0 is available!

News

Hello, Corporates!

The second


Update 1.2.0 for Grimstar: Prequel is now available. We are very grateful for all your feedback on Steam and Discord, which made this update possible. Here are some of the major changes:

Enemy waves are replaced by AI enemies

Waves of enemies has been replaced with an AI Enemy who also needs to build a base to create new monsters. Currently there are 3 different groups in the game:

  • Tristar - the corporate faction that players represent.
  • Red Head Army - deranged Space Pirates that would attack any kind of colony or space ship in order to loot and pillage supplies.
  • Native fauna - Monsters that will attack and kill any invaders on their planet.

The second new


Cutscenes are now replaced by in-game mission briefings

As planned, all ineffective cutscenes have been replaced. Additionally, the speaker has been changed and a small explanation text has been added at the beginning of the game explaining story details.

Overall visual and map design has been changed

The graphics and design of the maps have also been changed, for example the ugly stone walls have been replaced. The game play of the maps was also improved, for example, there are now two maps where you can fight against the Red Head Army.

Base-building system improved

Grid-based building systems make it easier to create good bases without blocking the ways for your own units.

Here is a small video showing the major changes:


I hope you enjoy the new update, and as always, any feedback is appreciated!
We look forward to seeing you out there, on the surface of a savage planet!

Oh dear ,is this another free demo masquerading as a game giveaway ?

These steam keys are pointless.

They only meant something back in the day when you had the added possible bonus of trading cards with some giveaways + you usually got a whole game ,not this malarkey.
