HOMM (short for Heroes of Might and Magic), now with a sci-fi twist, is out of early access.

In Heroes of Science and Fiction (formerly Silence of the Siren), players engage in turn-based strategy battles as they compete for control of a distant star system. Explore the planets and secure resources to build mighty cities. Raise powerful armies and defeat your opponents on the battlefield! Heroes of Science and Fiction contains five playable factions, four campaigns with four levels each, and more than 30 skirmish maps set in colorful environments. Each faction has its own base, seven upgradeable unit types, a special skill, and a set of commanders. There are also 24 skills, 54 active commander abilities, and various pieces of equipment, consumables, and artifacts.

The Siren star system, the birthplace of a galactic alliance and the homeworld of a lost Primal civilization, has been cut off from the rest of the galaxy. As a result, the carefully built alliance has split into bickering factions and secluded colonies. Nowadays, hardly anyone pays attention to the scattered ruins on the few habitable planets of the newly isolated system. The deeper you venture into the uncharted regions, the stronger the feeling of endangerment grows. There is something else: An entity – a shade, an echo of whispers from below. Explore the planets and secure important resources. Use them to upgrade your bases with advanced technology and hire massive armies. Play as different factions, recruit skilled commanders, teach them new skills, and lead them into battle. Overcome obstacles on the map to gather powerful equipment and ancient artifacts.

Encounter a wide range of enemies in turn-based combat and use your tactical thinking to gain the upper hand on the battlefield. Learn your units’ unique moves, deploy your commander’s special abilities, and outsmart much stronger opponents. Explore a rich sci-fi world and uncover the secrets of a lost civilization. Collect powerful artifacts, secure important resources, upgrade your bases, and hire the strongest units. Level up your commanders and crush your opponents in exciting turn-based battles. Take control of several different species and factions. This old-school strategy game features modern controls and an intuitive UI.

Heroes of Science and Fiction is now available on Steam.
