The combat demo for Free Stars: Children of Infinity is out, and it's free
Blast your opponents in 1v1 arcade space battles like it's 1992 all over again.
After five years of development, Free Stars: Children of Infinity, the official sequel to The Ur-Quan Masters, has released a free public combat demo. The demo, styled after UQM's melee mode, allows players to assemble fleets from nearly 40 ships and engage in head-to-head arcade SpaceWar-style action. The demo is available on Steam, GOG, and can be played on Windows, Mac, and Linux.
Console versions are in development but not yet released. The author of this report, a volunteer with Pistol Shrimp Games, emphasizes that they have no financial interest in the demo or its eventual release. The demo features a space adventure RPG, similar to the original games, with each ship having unique maneuvering, weapons, and special abilities.
