Hollow Stars

More about Hollow Stars

Hollow Stars is a deep 2D strategy game where players build trading empires, refine asteroids, lead fleets into battle, and manage faction politics. The game features a living economy with realistic supply and demand, finite resources, and NPCs with real credit flows. Players can engage in solo or four-player co-op gameplay across three modes: 'Family' (shared wallet, one faction), 'Allies' (separate empires with trade alliances), and 'Rivals' (competitive sector control). Key mechanics include conservation of entities (ships become wreckage), NPC hierarchy requirements (Admirals for war, Diplomats for alliances, Magnates for trade), and strategic decisions without shooter elements. The game emphasizes economic and military victory conditions while maintaining a clean top-down interface.
