TYRANNICAL PRAISE”This is really awesome, and you should probably give it a shot.”
– TotalBiscuit, The Cynical Brit
“This is really good, some witlessly meme-y humour aside, retaining many 4X tropes but throwing out just enough to be punchy.”
– Rock, Paper, Shotgun: Unknown Pleasures Game of the Week
“You take the rule of the Tyrant threatening to take over the galaxy with your armies of doom, despicable acts, and a death ray that comes online when you’re being especially bad.”
– Scott Manley
“Every little feature of Space Tyrant has been so carefully planned, designed and executed, that all its elements join together in harmony to create an amazingly addicting experience.”
– Game Skinny
“A 5x Space Rogue like – lite strategy game and it’s damn good.”
– Mack – Worth A Buy
“Explore space, befriend or terrorize enemies, kick butt at turn-based battles and generally have fun taking over space with this replayable 4X-styled game.”
– Hardcore Gamer
“Blue Wizard Digital did a great job of cutting away the 4X fat while retaining the core parts of what makes the genre fun.”
– Indie Games
“It’s a 4X title on speed. Everything is a lot faster, everything’s a lot more streamlined.”
– Yippee Ki Yay Mr Falcon
“I really like the fact that the game doesn’t take itself too seriously.”
– The Zero Review
“The developers have managed to cram a grand space strategy game into a really quick and funny experience.”
– ReformistTM
“…a competent, charming, easy to control PC title that doesn’t weigh you down with the minutiae of 4X games or their dreadful endgame slog.”
– Strategy Gamer
“it lives up to it’s promise of quick strategic action with a slick presentation.”
– ISK Mogul
“This is a 4X-Lite game with card-based powerups and blistering real-time fleet battles which last only a matter of seconds, with fighters, laser beams and explosions galore!”
– Save Or Quit
“In the new roguelite 5X Space Tyrant, there is no diplomacy. Your only option is to kill everyone in your quest for power and profit.”

About Blue Wizard Digital
Founded by Jason Kapalka, who formerly founded some outfit called PopCap, which made puny weakling non-space-conquering games like Bejeweled and Peggle and Plants vs Zombies, before it was acquired by the necrotic empire of Electronic Arts. Blue Wizard recently released the darkly comic sliding block puzzle/ 80’s slasher movie tribute Slayaway Camp to Steam and iOS. The Space Tyrant team consists of a crew of gore-thirsting void pirates and psychic mutants barely contained inside a fetid barracks atop a Capitol Hill coffeeshop in Seattle. Sanctions are already in place.
