Strategy game Auralux: Constellations heading to Switch
Grove Street Games announced today that a Switch version of Auralux: Constellations is on the way. A release is planned for June 22, 2023.
Auralux: Constellations is a strategy game in which victory is achieved by conquering constellation after constellation in an interstellar war that spans the galaxy. The Switch version will include all previously released DLC and a new control scheme.
Here’s an overview of the title:
Auralux: Constellations is the awaited sequel to Auralux, the critically acclaimed minimalistic Real Time Strategy game. Start with a single planet. Then, upgrade, expand, and attack until you’ve conquered the entire system. Now with Auralux: Constellations, for the first time you can play against your friends in local or online multiplayer games.
Featuring gameplay constellations with one new feature at a time, Auralux: Constellations is a real-time strategy game that distills the RTS genre to its essential elements. Explore new gameplay possibilities: what happens if you take these basic rules and add fog-of-war? What if the planets moved? What if you had wormholes connecting distant parts of the map? You can replay the game to near infinity.
All this with a slow, graceful feel and vibrant minimalistic graphics, all pulsing to the rhythm of ambient music. This game is designed to provide a relaxing, cerebral experience. Every choice matters, and the only path to victory is through clever strategy. It’s Real-Time Strategy, deconstructed.
Key Features
- Minimalist but challenging RTS gameplay
- Multiplayer, both local and online
