Dotemu Announces Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes, a Tactical Game

Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes – A Tactical Roguelike Survival Odyssey

During Gamescom’s Opening Night Live, Dotemu announced Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes, a tactical strategy game set to launch in early 2026. This title, inspired by the classic science fiction franchise, is being developed by Alt Shift, the independent studio known for Crying Suns, in collaboration with Universal Products & Experiences. Dotemu, recognized for publishing hits like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge and Streets of Rage 4, will publish the game. Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes promises a distinct interactive experience that combines classic franchise elements with a fresh roguelike approach. Players command a fleet on the run from the Twelve Colonies, pursued by Cylons who have turned against their human creators. The primary objective is survival: find the iconic Battlestar Galactica before the Cylons do. The game challenges players to navigate complex situations, including political drama and internal disputes that could splinter their fleet. They must manage multiple crises simultaneously, such as identifying traitors within their ranks. Every decision carries consequences, ensuring each playthrough offers a unique journey. Players will explore new planets, judiciously allocate limited resources, and wisely utilize their crew as Cylon ships close in.

Combat in Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes delivers exhilarating action crucial for survival. Players must resist Cylon attacks by lining up fighters in hangars and leading them in real-time battles. Strategic defense involves minimizing damage to the main ship and deploying onboard defenses against tough threats. The goal is to hold on until the fleet can escape to another galaxy sector, with outcomes and potential rewards hinging on moment-to-moment decisions. With each new mission, players face fresh challenges that test their strategic skills. As they progress, they will unlock additional tactical options, including new squadrons, weapons, resources, and ship upgrades. Decisions directly impact the fleet’s fate, leading to high-stakes battles and opportunities to explore new sectors before Cylon forces destroy the ships. With the Twelve Colonies abandoned, players must use their strategic prowess to guide humanity toward Battlestar Galactica, their last hope.
