Galactic Reign hits Windows Phone, PC

Resident Evil: Operation Racoon City developer Slant Six has released a new game - a science fiction strategy effort called Galactic Reign. The Windows 8, RT and Windows Phone app has players colonising planets, designing ships, building fleets and battling in space in both single-player and head-to-head modes. Combat is turn-based and plays out in cinematic sequences rendered on Microsoft's cloud servers. You can try the game for free with just one species or pick up the full thing for $5, both from the Windows store.
