What it is
The Last Federation is a grand strategy game with turn-based tactical combat from Arcen Games, released in 2014 for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Its setting is a simulated solar system populated by billions, where up to five factions compete at once. You play as the last survivor of a murdered race and can try to unite or destroy eight other races. The races have distinct attributes and political systems, while the difficulty settings for strategy and combat can be adjusted separately. New players can use a gradual introduction to complexity, with the option to disable it. Observer mode lets you watch events unfold without taking part. The game also offers save-and-reload play or ironman mode, along with single-player achievements, Steam Cloud, and trading cards. Its listed release date is April 18, 2014.
