Blue Wizard Digital releases Space Tyrant Closed Beta on Steam
Blue Wizard Digital is following up their debut hit, with a wickedly amusing 4x roguelike that has just landed in closed beta on Steam.
Space Tyrant is a fast-paced roguelike 4X game set in a grimly grimdark future. Build a terrifying space fleet, devastate planets, and slaughter peaceful extraterrestrials in your relentless march to total domination! Will the forces of Galactic Order halt your invasion or are you truly ready to face-punch the universe?
Space Tyrant started as a modernized, lunchtime-playable homage to early 4X games that slowly grew into its own unique, insatiable beast. Under the watchful eye and design directives of Jason Kapalka (PopCap games co-founder), a scrappy team of industry veterans in Seattle, Washington are bringing to life this darkly humorous game of ill-will and turn-based galactic domination.

“We all enjoyed 4x and roguelike games but found our minds wandering to nearby squirrels, etc, during a typical session,” says tyrannical overlord, Jason Kapalka, “under Blue Wizard Digital, we set out to make a zero-attention span mega-empire game, where you could have titanic space battles and huge galaxy-spanning conquests but not run over your employer-mandated allotment of lunch-eating minutes.”
Game Features:
- Procedurally generated missions for endless tyranting.
- 4 alien races to subjugate and bend to your evil will
- Fire a horrifying Death Ray from your wretched tyrant finger
- Explore conquered planets and make things worse for the remaining inhabitants
- Play powerful cards to give you an unfair advantage
- Invade planets with a role of the dice. What a jerk move!
- A brilliantly cold and mean-spirited soundtrack by Swedish electronic guru, Skaven.
“We didn’t care about winning any “cultural victories” or “Space United Nations” crap; we wanted to disintegrate guys and watch tons of weird spaceships explode. So there is a whole lot of that, plus collecting artifacts and leveling up and conquering planets and executing ambassadors! Also we hear you like cards? We have cards. So many cards, let me tell you.”
