WELCOME TO GSB!

GSB is the ultimate space strategy game from UK indie developer Positech Games. It's a strategy / management / simulation game that does away with all the base building and delays and gets straight to the meat and potatoes of science-fiction games : The big space battles fought by huge spaceships with tons of laser beams and things going 'zap!', 'ka-boom!' and 'ka-pow!'. In GSB you put your ships together from modular components, arrange them into fleets, give your ships orders of engagement and then hope they emerge victorious from battle (or at least blow to bits in aesthetically pleasing ways).

IN THE PRESS

"Thoughts of the greatest Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episodes like "Sacrifice of Angels" passed through my mind the second I've tried one of these battles."

Games32.com

"You know how the space combat scenes in Battlestar Galactica were terrible and epic and oddly serene, all at once? This game is like that. It has lovely graphics, a lot of depth, an alarming amount of replayability, and a great sense of humor, to boot"

Tom Chick

"Prettiest 2D game to come along in some time. Battles are actually gratuitous."
