Videogames have given me more opportunities to blow up titanic scifi battleships than I could ever hope to count. But I've rarely gotten the opportunity to experience the other side of that equation as the guy commanding the fleet's worth of cannons, laser batteries, and missile bays bristling across a single massive floating monolith.
One solo dev, however, is looking to provide us all a taste of scifi navy excess with Dreadnought Tartarus, a "semi-automated strategic simulation game centered around a single, colossal battleship," which is another way of saying "you get to play that part from anime space operas and mecha series where the space cruisers fill the screen with the wildest barrage of weapons fire that the visual arts can imagine."
Players can choose to manually control multiple weapons, let them attack automatically, or activate a Focus Fire Mode to have all weapons fire in a single direction.武器は手動操作・自動攻撃の切り替えが可能。【集中射撃モード】で全武装を一方向に集中発射。#gamedev #indiedev… pic.twitter.com/3MIwiQeWUmFebruary 3, 2026
