Story

Year 3047, the time of the elected government on earth is long gone. Large corporations now have the control. Their only goals are to earn even more money.

The earth's resources have been used up, but they found a solution for that problem. They started to explore the space and they found a Planet, with a new Kind of Resource which can be used as new effective kind of energy. They called this planet just "Grimstar".

On the planet there was no intelligent life, only insect-like creatures. So it looks like that it should be easy for them to collect all the new kind of Resources off this Planet and his moons.

But they deceived themselves...

Update 1.2.0 is available!

Jul 2 2023 News

Hello, Corporates!

Update 1.2.0 for Grimstar: Prequel is now available. We are very grateful for all your feedback on Steam and Discord, which made this update possible. Here are some of the major changes:

Enemy waves are replaced by AI enemies

Waves of enemies has been replaced with an AI Enemy who also needs to build a base to create new monsters. Currently there are 3 different groups in the game:

Tristar - the corporate faction that players represent.
Red Head Army - deranged Space Pirates that would attack any kind of colony or space ship in order to loot and pillage supplies.
Native fauna - Monsters that will attack and kill any invaders on their planet.

Cutscenes are now replaced by in-game mission briefings

As planned, all ineffective cutscenes have been replaced. Additionally, the speaker has been changed and a small explanation text has been added at the beginning of the game explaining story details.

Overall visual and map design has been changed

The graphics and design of the maps have also been changed, for example the ugly stone walls have been replaced. The game play of the maps was also improved, for example, there are now two maps where you can fight against the Red Head Army.

Base-building system improved

Grid-based building systems make it easier to create good bases without blocking the ways for your own units.

Here is a small video showing the major changes:

I hope you enjoy the new update, and as always, any feedback is appreciated!
We look forward to seeing you out there, on the surface of a savage planet!
