You play as Xander Falcon, a young commander shaped by family tragedy and thrown into a war no one fully understands. Under the banner of the I.P.E., humanity’s Inter-Planetary Expansion army, you will build colonies on hostile alien worlds, command retro-futuristic forces, and uncover the truth behind a conflict that reaches far deeper than the battlefield.

Every mission pushes you to think fast and plan ahead. Expand your base with the HUB system, manage limited resources, secure power lines, and fortify your colony before the next wave hits.

Scout ahead, position your units, protect your base, and react quickly when the battlefield changes. The best commanders read the threat, adapt their plan, and seize the advantage.

If you love RTS games where choices matter, Space Tales gives you plenty to master: resource management, base expansion, unit control, defensive planning, and a complex tech tree for your unit and the defense HUB system.

Face three enemy factions with very different combat styles.

The Kill Bots bring relentless mechanized pressure, forcing you to rethink your unit composition and push beyond the safety of your base. The Necroborg escalate the conflict even further, challenging everything you have learned with fortified defenses, perfectly timed attacks, and a threat that grows stronger the longer you leave it unchecked.

What works against one faction may fail completely against another. To survive, you will need to adapt your defenses, unit composition, and battlefield decisions from one mission to the next.

Massive boss encounters test your timing, positioning, and unit control. Study their attack patterns, choose your moment to engage, and strike carefully: these enemies are too dangerous to brute-force, and they cannot be captured.

Beyond boss fights, the battlefield is also home to powerful neutral monsters. Defeat and capture them, then summon them as battlefield allies to break enemy lines, defend your colony, and change the course of battle.

Space Tales blends tactical warfare with a character-driven sci-fi story where personal loyalty, propaganda, imperial ambition, and cosmic horror collide.

As Xander fights alongside Vespera, a sharp mission coordinator, and Desmond, a loyal recruit, each mission uncovers new questions about humanity’s place among the stars. Every battle draws them deeper into the mystery, revealing more about the war, their allies, and the future they are fighting for.

From fragile first outposts to full-scale planetary assaults, the campaign pushes Xander and his forces through desperate defenses, hostile frontlines, and tactical turning points where every decision can change the course of the mission.

The galaxy is hostile. Your resources are limited. Your enemies do not fight fair. This is Space Tales!
