That’s just a taste of the back story written by long time shacker ejectorpod in the narrative that kicks off epsilon wars. epsilon wars is a turn based artillery game set in space where players must use the Newtonian gravity of suns, planets, and blackholes to guide their torpedoes at enemy ships, space stations, and freighters. You can challenge yourself in 20 single player levels (including ng+), procedurally generated single player levels, and multiplayer (2-4 players, local or online using Steam Remote Play Together). All of this gameplay is backed by an amazing original score created by Cygnus, aka mr.sleepy.

Set your torpedo angle, power, and fire to see how gravity affects your shot. Subsequent turns can be used to adjust power and angle to destroy opponents. But power is limited and every shot draws down reserves. Players choose from one of six factions in multiplayer, and each has unique technologies that can alter that trajectory of the game.
To help gauge the angle and power of each torpedo you can use sensors to visualize the gravity of each level. There's even an optional gravity assist system to help you learn how Newtonian gravity affects potential shots.
epsilon wars offers nearly unlimited replayability because of its procedural level generation system that produces completely random levels based on your parameters. Want a single sun system to practice? Done. Want 5 planets, and the possibility of black holes appearing? You can do that too.
