Haarlem, The Netherlands – 16 September 2011 – Videogame publisher Iceberg Interactive and developer Blind Mind Studios are pleased to announce that the intriguing space strategy PC title Star Ruler has now been released in UK and Benelux retail, with the German language version retail release now planned for 7 October.  . The boxed version includes a bonus poster and all  updates for the game.

If you want to rule the galaxy, every star system counts. In Star Ruler, you take command of a vast interstellar empire and safeguard your species from total extinction in a unique galaxy (3D or flat) with as many stars as your PC can handle (even 10.000+)! Prove your species' ingenuity through a deep and intricate combat system where anything (from individual components on ships to the stars themselves) is a target of opportunity.

Twist other Empires into submitting to your galaxy-class wit with diplomacy and wheel-and-deal your way to supremacy. Research new kinds of weapons, engines, shields, and more, all of which retain their unique benefits as the game progresses, with a research web whose contents are shuffled every game at your option.

Exploit interstellar phenomena such as asteroid belts and stars and exploit them for yourself or destroy them to deny your foes. Create and destroy new worlds through advanced technological research. Match your strategy against up to 10 other opponents (online or LAN-linked).
