Forbidden Stars

Forbidden Stars plunges players into the Warhammer 40,000 universe for brutal asymmetric warfare across a modular sector map. Each of four factions—Space Marines, Orks, Eldar, and Chaos—plays distinctly differently, pursuing unique objectives while battling for dominance. The experience revolves around tense area control, strategic order planning using a clever card stacking system, and explosive tactical combat resolved through custom dice and faction abilities. Players must balance expansion, combat preparation, and objective racing while anticipating opponents' moves in a delicious cat-and-mouse strategic dance. Combat feels visceral and thematic, with units upgrading and devastating special abilities turning the tide. The game creates mounting pressure as players approach victory conditions, leading to desperate last-stand battles and aggressive territory denial. Long play sessions reward deep strategic thinking, bluffing through order placement, and mastering your faction's unique playstyle in this epic, conflict-driven experience.
