About Lantern of the Star Sea
The ancient jump structures known as the Beacons link the stars. Now the nations of the galaxy are at war over their light.
You are the admiral of Lantern, an independent strike fleet of the Novaris Frontier Union. Assemble your fleets with a cast of unique commanders and set sail across the star sea.
■ Real-time fleet command
- Deploy up to 8 fleets at once and give move, attack and focus-fire orders on a 3D battlefield.
- Issue orders while paused and plan every move.
- 30 ship types, including battleships, carriers, torpedo cruisers and fortress gunships. Fighters, missiles, torpedoes and beams fill the sky.
- "Auto" and 2x speed (3x available as a purchase) keep things quick on busy days.
■ 66 commanders
- Commanders join you over time through recruitment and the story.
- Each officer brings her own skills to the battlefield.
- Raise their trust to unlock personal episodes (198 in total).
- Chibi versions of your commanders wander your bridge.
■ A full campaign
- 15 chapters and 150 stages. The tactics you learn in the story work in battle.
- 8 side stories and daily missions.
- Three difficulty levels: Normal, Hard and Very Hard.
■ Build your fleet
- Upgrade and refit ships, train in the simulator and send out patrols.
- Use the recommended power as a guide and build your own formation.
