HELP SHAPE
THE NEXT
BATTLE.

Designed for iPad, Battle Astra is a turn-based space strategy game where you command a war across star sectors, then take control of individual ships when fleets collide. I’m inviting a small group of players to help test it.

WHO THIS IS FOR

A SMALL CREW, NOT A DOWNLOAD COUNT

The best tester isn’t necessarily the person with the most free time. It’s the person who already likes this kind of game and can explain what worked—and what didn’t.

A

You like layered strategy

You enjoy moving fleets on a larger map and making tactical decisions when battles begin.

B

You notice clarity problems

You can point out when a rule, control, label, or result isn’t as understandable as it should be.

C

You’ll be direct

I’m looking for useful, honest reactions—not praise. Short, specific feedback is perfect.

TWO LEVELS OF COMMAND

PLAN THE WAR. FIGHT THE BATTLE.

Battle Astra shifts between a strategic campaign map and close tactical engagements.

STRATEGIC

Campaign command

Build fleets, plot routes, capture valuable sectors, and decide where your faction can afford to fight.

  • Multiple competing factions
  • Simultaneous fleet planning
  • Territory, scoring, and elimination victories

TACTICAL

Fleet engagements

Activate individual ships, divide power among systems, maneuver through hazards, and choose when to attack or retreat.

  • Hex-based movement and facing
  • Weapons, engines, defense, and hull management
  • Quick Battle and full-campaign play
