Children of a Dead Earth is a space warfare game released in 2016 featuring realistic n-body orbital mechanics and battle tactics.
Development and reception
The game was developed by Q Switched Productions, LLC and was released on September 23, 2016.[1] The game's website states that "Children of a Dead Earth was created to discover what space warfare would be like. This was done by implementing the equations first and then extrapolating the gameplay from the emergent behaviors that resulted."[2]
The game has received positive reviews. Websites praised it as 'pleasantly unique',[3] 'a hard game, but a blast'.[4]
While not intended to be a casual game, the game features "extensive guides on orbital mechanics, laser engineering, nuclear physics, rocket science and everything else you will need".[5] The structure of the game features various missions which require the player to construct an appropriate spaceship, a feature that creates comparisons with spaceship simulator Kerbal Space Program.
Plot
In the near future, Earth has become uninhabitable due to extreme climate change caused by extensive war between two major nations, the North Eurasian Socialist Republic and East Asian Megastate. Megaton nuclear weapons detonated in the high atmosphere and weaponized asteroids devastated the countries on Earth, making them unable to combat the effect of extreme greenhouse effect caused by ashes in the atmosphere created by asteroid impacts. Surviving humans have left Earth to rebuild and colonise other planets. Two human factions (the Republic of Free People and the United Sol Trade Alliance) emerge and begin to contest for dominance of the solar system.
