Overview

Hyper Battle is a science fiction wargame about ship-to-ship combat in hyperspace during the Alpha Centaurian Revolution. Players command opposing fleets navigating and fighting in the distorted physics of hyperspace, where traditional combat rules are altered by the environment. The game features tactical maneuvering and combat between spacecraft.
