Star Hammer: The Vanguard Prophecy is a 3D pseudo-turn based tactical space strategy title from our good friends at Slitherine Ltd and Black Lab Games. Placing you in command of a fleet of warships, Star Hammer: The Vanguard Prophecy takes place after humanity left a dying earth in the 22nd century, during what has been called The Second Contact War. Spanning over 60 missions of pauseable real-time space strategy combat, or through custom skirmish matches, Star Hammer throws you to the wolves in an epic space battle where you can watch your orders play out in real-time.

Never before have I been greeted like this by a game. Usually it’s simply “Press ‘A’ to start” or even more abruptly, “Press ‘A’”.
Star Hammer greets you this far more polite way after the usual developer and publisher logo screens, and it’s almost like it’s giving you a choice as to whether you would like to play or not. Sadly though, pressing A at all may have been the wrong choice."

I thoroughly enjoyed Star Hammer: The Vanguard Prophecy on PC back in June of 2015 when I reviewed it and when it was announced that Star Hammer would be coming to consoles I blanched. Here was a deep, tactical space simulator full of laser beams and space missiles, and it was going to be ported to console? "The controls! The aesthetic! Strategy/Simulation on console? BLASPHEMERS!" I screamed ... Amazingly Slitherine and Black Lab Games made me eat my own words. Dare I say it, but Star Hammer: The Vanguard Prophecy is actually better on Xbox One that it was on PC. While the game has not changed much (and much of my original review still stands), the Xbox port brings in a new level of enjoyment.
