Our take on Heroes of Science and Fiction
The page gives a substantial outline of factions, campaigns, maps and commander options, but leaves the campaign structure itself broad: it does not explain how the four campaigns differ or how their missions connect.
What is Heroes of Science and Fiction?
Heroes of Science and Fiction is a turn-based strategy game in which rival space civilizations contend for control of a star system.
Players survey planets, gather materials, improve their headquarters, enlist troops and lead commanders through tactical encounters. The complete edition offers 5 playable factions, 4 campaigns containing 4 stages apiece, and over 30 skirmish maps. Faction rosters include a headquarters, 7 unit categories that can be improved, one unique ability and multiple commander choices. Commanders develop skills and activate abilities during combat, while equipment, consumable items and artifacts can be found. Victory depends on understanding troop abilities, applying commander powers and positioning forces effectively against enemy armies.
