Dyson Sphere Program game heads to Steam

By John Freeman on January 15, 2021

Dyson Sphere Program, the sci-fi automation game developed by Youthcat Studio and published by Gamera Game, will launch on Steam Early Access on 21st January 2021.

The result of a successful Kickstarter, Dyson Sphere Program is a sci-fi simulator with space exploration and factory automation elements where you have to build your own galactic industrial empire from scratch.

In the distant future, the power of science and technology has ushered a new age to the human race. In the simulator, you are a space engineer in charge of a project launched by the space alliance COSMO, tasked with a massive undertaking: constructing a Dyson Sphere, a megastructure that would orbit around a star, harnessing all its power and energy, to produce the energy that humanity needs.

Such a massive and complex structure as a Dyson Sphere is not something you can build that easily – due to the research required to get that technology and the sheer amount of resources you need, getting to the Dyson Sphere will not be an easy task.

However, in this simulator, you’re not limited to a single base or a single planet. as happens in other games of the genre. For you to fulfil this mission, you need to explore the universe, build facilities on many planets, and connect them with an interstellar logistic network in a galaxy-wide production empire.

You will have to hone your strategic and management abilities to get there – and in order to do so, you explore the universe with your very own high-tech mecha, Icarus.

If you fancy building a galactic empire from the ground ip – literally! – then this may well be a game you’d like to check out.
