Cosmic: The Iliad is a strategic dexterity game which will launch you into the depths of space, to conquest for galactic domination. Only the best use of strategy and skill will push you to victory. Yet victory may become obsolete, when confronted with the creatures that lurk in the abyss. The game has a campaign mode and a skirmish mode.Players build fleets of ships and eliminate enemy ships. The campaign mode consists of 3-5 individual battles, between which players can upgrade their ships, purchase captains and ships, or purchase space for a larger fleet. Each battle is in a different environment, some filled with asteroids, others with beasts roaming around the map. —description from the designer
