Our take on Predestination

The page presents a wide set of systems, from terraforming to ship design, but gives little sense of how deeply they connect during play. It also pairs a claim of completion with future plans for updates, expansions, multiplayer, and modding, making the current scope less clear.

What is Predestination?

Predestination is a turn-based science-fiction 4X strategy game taking place in an ancient era of the galaxy.

Ships belonging to numerous species are hurled into the past by the hostile Revenants, forcing them to restore their empires while trying to defeat the threat in an earlier age. Gameplay covers galactic exploration, settling suitable planets, encounters with alien civilizations, and combat within a story-driven campaign. Systems include a three-dimensional galaxy map, turn-based tactical battles between fleets, planetary exploration, terraforming, and a 3D tool for designing ships. Planned free additions include challenge maps, more single-player campaign chapters, extra vessels, and artwork. Multiplayer and modding support are identified as possible future additions.
