Yet another game attempting to ride the current revival, Star Lords is another 4X strategy game coming for PC in Q4 2012.

Quite like other games, you’ll direct a race of people, 8 in total here, to conquer the galaxy with superior ships and technology. Each race with their own story will play a role in a galaxy filled with enemies and even pirates and independent civilizations.

What separates this title from the rest is its claim to have a higher Espionage element. More so, galaxies are generates at random and the AI apparently plays by the same rules as humans. The latter is a frequent nuisance in the genre with “cheating” AI.

The first Alpha is out now and available to anyone that preorders here.
