Description

Stars of Akarios is a cooperative campaign game that drops you into the Akarios Galaxy, where you'll fight epic space battles, explore new worlds, and upgrade your ship. You and your fellow cadets must band together to survive after an unknown enemy attacks your home planet of Medellia. With the help of Captain Soma and her ship, the Sparrow, you'll embark on a journey to find a new home for your civilization, completing challenges and managing resources along the way. As you progress through the game, your pilots' skills will grow, and you'll unlock new abilities and upgrades for your ships. The game features a modular board, dice rolling, and a hexagon grid, making each playthrough unique. With a 200-page scenario book that unfolds like a choose-your-own-adventure story, you'll need to make tough choices that shape your story and determine your fate in the Akarios galaxy.
