Return of the Shakturi is the recently released expansion pack to Distant Worlds, a 4x real-time space strategy game developed by CodeForce<\/a> and published by Matrix Games<\/a>.<\/p>\n

To know about Distant Worlds I invite you to read an article I did a year ago: “Distant Worlds \u2013 A new Real-time, 4X Space Strategy Game<\/a>“.<\/p>\n

Distant Worlds: Return of the Shakturi<\/strong><\/p>\n

In Distant Worlds: Return of the Shakturi an evil race from another galaxy called the Shakturi is unleashed and seeks destruction. Your mission, in case you accept it, is to spoil their plans (does all this sounds familiar? – Yes, its a bit like the Antarans story in Master of Orion 2).<\/p>\n

Return of the Shakturi also provides some interface improvements to provide quicker access to everything in your empire:<\/p>\n
