Starbase Citadel (starbasecitadel.com) is a free-to-play, 2D space-combat MOBA for Tablets, initially for Android but also available for iPad at launch.
2 teams fight for control of the galaxy, each team comprised of 9 players (Starships). Each team has 1 planet that hosts their Citadel (homeworld). Destroying your enemy team’s Citadel allows you to win the game. 1 player on each team plays the team’s Starbase, a particularly powerful and strategically important yet slow moving asset.
In addition to the importance of each team’s Citadel, there are also a number of Planets that can be fought over. Planets, once captured, can be upgraded with defense grids and refueling stations to give logistical advantages to their team.
Games are expected to last 40 minutes on average. Players are able to, without penalty, join and leave a game instance in progress easily, so there are no penalties for playing for just 2 minutes on a lunch break and then leaving. When a player leaves, an AI Bot controls their starship so that the overall balance between teams is not impacted as much as being down 1 slot.
For now, the game is in early development and there is no ETA yet for an Alpha. Still, I wanted to start making regular posts to show progress to any interested players, as well as get Game Design feedback from the community.
Thanks
