If you've ever been playing an RPG and thought, "I feel like my character is thinking too small scale.  Like, yeah I'm fighting evil, but if I used all this power and all these connections I'm building, I could reshape society to help everyone!" this is the game for you.

 

In this game, you play as a Hydra (already awesome) who is trying to create solar system peace by a combination of politics and fighting on one side or the other in major battles.

 

If you like sandboxes and politics in your strategy games, this is the game for you.

 

The combat mechanics are creative (it's a turn-based bullet hell) but not particularly fun.  Fortunately, you don't need to be that good at them, and an entirely combat-free run is possible.
