Starpoint Gemini Warlords (abbreviated to SPGW or SPW) is a blend of space trading and combat simulator, RPG and 4x Strategy PC video game developed by Croatian-based Little Green Men Games and published by Iceberg Interactive. SPGW is a spin-off title to the space sim Starpoint Gemini 2, which was released in 2014.
Development
Little Green Men Games developed Starpoint Gemini 2 (SPG2) based on the community feedback and suggestions in the Steam Early Access program. Although most of the popular suggestions made it in the game, some of the ideas couldn't be implemented in SPG2. The feature requests not suitable for SPG2 were kept on a wishlist and became the base of the new spin-off title Starpoint Gemini Warlords. Just like its predecessor, SPGW will go through Early Access where the developers intend to implement feature suggestions from their community and change the game according to their feedback. The game was scheduled to stay approximately 6 to 12 months in Steam Early Access and was finished and released after 11 months. [1] [2]

Starpoint Gemini Warlords was released May 23 2017 on Steam and GoG in two versions - Standard and Deluxe Edition. Deluxe Edition includes 160 page full color Artbook, Original Game Soundtrack composed by Nikola Nikita Jeremić, selection of wallpapers and Twitch Overlays.
