Looking for a space 4X strategy game that doesn’t take 40 hours to finish a single match? Say hello to Astro Protocol, the tactical turn-based space sim from Null Vector Studios, launching on Steam in February 2026!

Unlike traditional grand strategy games, Astro Protocol is built for speed and impact. Most runs wrap up in about 1–2 hours, making it perfect for those “just one more turn” nights where you actually want to see the ending.

Why it should be on your Wishlist:

• Fast-Paced 4X: Explore, Expand, Exploit, and Exterminate in a condensed, high-stakes format.
• Tactical Hex Combat: Forget “stacking” units—this is a one-unit-per-tile system where positioning and adjacency bonuses mean the difference between victory and cosmic dust.
• Unique Factions: Choose from 6 distinct factions (like the United Tellus or the Yimono Union) and interact with 10+ minor factions to secure powerful alliances.
• Endless Replayability: Every run features a randomised tech tree, unique anomalies, and procedural galaxy maps. No two “Calibration” events are ever the same.
• Deep Customisation: Specialise your planets into industrial powerhouses or research hubs, and customise your fleet with everything from nimble Scouts to massive Carriers.

The galaxy is a simulation, and the Great Calibration is coming. Will your empire lead the way, or be deleted from history?
