Celestis

Celestis is a real-time strategy game where the goal is to take control of the procedural galaxy by capturing stars.

Screenshots

From the Steam store

Celestis is a simple to learn real-time strategy game with the goal of galactic domination that will run on just about any device. Play by yourself against AI, team up with your friends or play against them with painless drop-in/drop-out multiplayer. You can even play on the same touch-screen based device, such as a tablet for a true local multiplayer experience, if you don't mind the inevitable shenanigans that will follow.

Win or lose, you will gain experience from your matches which you can then use to unlock new powerful talents that will help you tackle more difficult challenges in one of several types of procedurally generated galaxies.

Celestis was originally known as Starlink. I've chosen to rename it for the updated Steam release, seeing as both SpaceX and Ubisoft have since laid claim to that name. -Aren
