Description

Redshirt puts you in the shoes of an ambitious low‑ranking crew member trying to climb the social ladder on a bustling space station. By navigating the quirky politics of the in‑game social network "Spacebook," you chase likes, friendships, and promotions while intergalactic conflict rages outside.

Congratulations, soldier, you have been recruited to lead an elite corporate commando squad. As chief of security, it is your job to stop a deadly plot to destroy the construction of the world's first international space station. There is no end to the adventure, or the danger, when you step into the shadows in this classic science fiction turn-based strategy game developed by Red Storm Entertainment.
