StarDrive 2 - 4X space strategy sequel out on Steam today!


Zero Sum Games and Iceberg Interactive are set to release the latest 4X space strategy title 'Stardrive 2' on Steam for PC, Mac & Linux. The sequel to the brilliant StarDrive and an evolutionary step forward for the StarDrive franchise, see's you playing as your chosen race leading your people into a procedurally-generated galaxy, exploring and expanding your space empire to greatness.

Exploit planets, navigate asteroid belts and overcome deep space dangers while handling interspecies relations to gain the upper hand. Conduct diplomacy and espionage, make alien friends that will deliver thriving trade treaties – or enemies that will seek to exterminate you at all costs. Research new technologies and design powerful warships to defend your claims. Discover the extensive lore of the StarDrive universe by encountering many dozens of anomalies, heroes, and galactic mysteries that will ensure no two games will ever play the same.

  1. Wasnt this the game where the buyers felt cheated cos it was half finished before they moved on to the sequel for raising new money (and left the original unpatched)? Hope I am wrong

  4. It seems the game has been cracked already - at least it can be tested before purchase then.


    BTW site is better all the time. I'm suggesting it gets promoted on EAB. Maybe an article here on how people could contribute to the site - articles, promoting it elsewhere, donations ???

  5. Thanks James and for your site feedback. I have mentioned the site a few times on EAB and does seem to be pretty popular with the old school crowd. Donations is probably the next step, as we will need help keeping the site going. Will sort something out I'm sure. Thanks again
