Hades Star is a space strategy game where you take control of a growing empire, starting with a single planet in your own corner of the universe. The planet grows into a large star, and as you expand your territory, you will encounter new planets, new ships, and new weapons.

You will also need to defend yourself against the indigenous alien race, which has its own star system. If you are successful in conquering a planet, you can then control its resources, which will help you grow your empire. You can also participate in various missions in order to get more resources and new weapons.
