GRATUITOUS SPACE BATTLES - That title has to be said loud and in all caps. Its a strange yet enjoyable little game currently in early access where you design your custom war ships, setup your fleets formation and order them into battle. Planning ahead, tactics, mixed with a great 2d art style make this title a fun romp.

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).
