- Land and space conflicts are planned to unfold at the same time.
- Its Kickstarter is halfway to £16,685, with a late 2027 target.

## Summary

Horu is an in-development real-time strategy game that aims to combine huge battles inspired by Total War with the galaxy-wide empire building of Star Wars: Empire at War. Its planned scale is a central attraction: the game promises battles featuring “hundreds of thousands of units”, with land and space conflicts unfolding simultaneously across a solar system.

The solo developer, GlassBeaver, has spent several years building the game and a custom engine, and has now launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund remaining art, sound and music. The campaign is about halfway towards its £16,685 target; there is no firm release date, but the developer is aiming for late 2027. Planned features include automated orders for planetary landing zones, colonisation, espionage, research, a simulated economy and boarding enemy ships.
