Astralia is "A Real-time Strategy Shooter Experiment", a top down space shooter with RTS elements; in addition to your own ship you control a squad of drone fighters with multiple formations and weapons. You also get to manage a couple of capital ships that can be moved around to attack the enemy and can build other things like weapon platforms and bombs. Game play is fast and tactical, resource management and the effective use of the fighter drones and allied ship are essential to playing and winning the game.
There is also a story told in a 10 episodes campaign, with all the Sci-Fi clichÈs and themes you would expect in a game: dysfunctional heroes, a fictional precious substance, hyperspace jumps, alien space monsters, friendly AIs, death and self sacrifice and of course the Earth being attacked.
