Editorial note:<\/span><\/strong> We’re currently not providing coverage to other space and sci-fi strategy games since we’re currently developing our own game at the moment, Interstellar Space: Genesis<\/a>, which is a turn-based space 4X strategy game.\u00a0<\/span>In the meantime, we suggest that you look for other sites that doing a great job covering space & sci-fi strategy games, and 4X games, like\u00a0eXplorminate<\/a>,\u00a0SpaceGameJunkie<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0SpaceSimCentral<\/a>\u00a0for your news and reviews fix. You\u2019ll be in good hands with these folks!<\/p>\n

SpaceSector.com is about space, science fiction and strategy gaming. Although the PC is the predominant platform, we also cover games for Mac, iOS, Android or even Consoles, although these more rarely. We cover sci-fi strategy games, especially space strategy games.\u00a0But, we also cover other kinds of strategy games and space games\u00a0when we perceive them to be of high interest to the community.<\/p>\n

We cover all these types of games for all platforms with news and other articles\u00a0but we specialize in writing deep reviews and previews for games which\u00a0contain a good deal of strategic and\/or tactical elements. Basically games which require careful thinking, planning and decision making. These include 4X, Turn-based strategy, Turn-based tactics, Real-time strategy, Real-time tactics,\u00a0Tower Defense\u00a0and Grand strategy games.<\/p>\n

Therefore SpaceSector.com is about space and sci-fi gaming but on its core it is much about strategy.<\/p>\n

And, SpaceSector.com is also a place for the developers of these games to dwell. The devs are encouraged to present their games and participate in vibrant discussions in order to keep these genres alive and well. Anyone is invited to announce their project for which the forums<\/a> would be the perfect place to do that.<\/p>\n

Here’s our\u00a0email\u00a0address<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0in case you want to tip us, discuss advertising, present your game or for any other purpose you may need.<\/p>\n

Now, meet the team and enjoy!<\/p>\n

While his first space game memories date back to PSI-5 Trading Company (Commodore 64), his earliest strategy game memories date back to the original Civilization, Master of Orion, and Master of Magic titles, each of which stole many hundreds of hours of his youth.

Speciality:<\/strong> Fantasy & Sci-Fi strategy, Grand Strategy, 4X games, RPG\/action hybrids<\/p>\n
