Heroes of Science and Fiction is a turn-based strategy game set in the isolated Siren star system. Its once-connected galactic alliance has fractured into rival factions and secluded colonies, while ruins of the lost Primals civilization lie across the habitable planets. An unsettling presence is hinted at in the uncharted regions, giving exploration a science-fiction mystery alongside the struggle for control.
Play revolves around scouting planets, securing resources, improving bases and assembling armies. Commanders can gain skills, while equipment and ancient artifacts offer further tools to collect; on the battlefield, players use unit moves and commanders’ special abilities to outmaneuver opponents in turn-based combat. The full game is described as having several factions, each with its own base, upgradeable units, special skill and commanders, giving its strategy a roster-specific dimension. The design combines map exploration and development with tactical clashes rather than focusing on battles alone.
Its old-school strategy approach, paired with modern controls and an intuitive interface, frames the experience as a contemporary presentation of a classic style.
