History VideoGame / SpaceTyrant

*** The Bzzerk's frigate lvl2 tech does not grant the intended +5 damage boost.
*** The Bzzerk's cruiser lvl3 tech ''downgrades'' its ability rather than buff it: a default Hex Shot power deals 150 damage, whereas the tech makes it deal 120 damage, coupled with a non-functional damage-over-time status effect.

** The Bzzerk empire perk Nano-bot swarms claims to buff your fleet health when having 300 or more credits: not only does it actually starts over 350, it also fails to mention that like with the Real-time logistics perk, your ships will be weaker if under the specified credit threshold.

* ComebackMechanic: Stonehair and Bzzzt, which are also the first overlord of their respective factions, have an overlord scheme that triggers based on losing battles.
** Stonehair's is ''Lethal Force'', allowing to destroy any Space Monster after losing two battles against them.

* BeePeople: The Bzzerk.

*** The Bzzerk's frigate lv2 tech does not grant the intended +5 damage boost.

** Battleships: Basically a larger, more expensive version of the cruisers. Good toughness and firepower but a bit to expensive to build in bulk.

* AntiHero: The Senate shows signs of not being as benevolent as they appear. If they successfully unite an entire system against you, the planets' forces are entirely replaced with blatantly brainwashed soldiers who mindlessly drone on about "the Great Leader" and mindlessly throw themselves at you, even if they stand no chance, all for "the glory of the cause".

* TheDragon: It's implied that the character you choose at the start of a mission is your leutennant.

* ILoveNuclearPower: Most factions have an upgrade that irradiates their weaponry to cause DamageOverTime. The Hoplites additionality have tactical nuclear explosives as a late-campaign perk (gives a bonus dice to all of your planetary invasions) and the Atomic Atrocity card (instead of capturing a planet, blow it up and own the resulting asteroids)

* The Bzzzerk Union

** The Bzzzerk use green, angular ships with honeycomb-shaped solar panels and weapon emitters

* ColonyDrop: The Bzzzerk have a card that destroys a friendly ship to deal two damage to a Besieged world.

** The Bzzzerk are Spammers, having relatively cheap, disposable 1X1 ships not even intended to last much more than a single battle. Instead of cards that add huge ships, they have the card "Saviour of the Hive," which summons a temporary level 4 fleet with a pair of huge ships.

* BeePeople: The Bzzzerk.

* EscapePod: Weaponized by the Bzzzerk. Their Destroyers have an upgrade that allows their crews to launch a swarm of fighters when destroyed.

** The Bzzzerk Dreadnaught launches a massive volley of missiles at random targets as its ability.

** The Bzzzerk are InsectoidAliens concerned with the survival of the Hive at the expense of individual bugs.

** Cruisers: A JackOfAllStats that combine reasonable toughness with good firepower at a moderate cost. For Hoplites and Space Slugs these tend to form the backbone of their fleets (the Bzzzerk prefer carriers).
** Carriers: A carrier that launches [[SpaceFighter fighters]] to attack the enemy fleet, these tend to be the main fighting unit in the Bzzzerk fleet. Hoplite carriers are equipped with [[BoardingPod Boarding Pods]] while Space Slug carriers are TheBattlestar carrying heavy blasters alongside the fighters.

* WaveMotionGun: The armaments of the Bzzzerk Frigate and Cruiser are a single beam cannon that fires very slowly. The Cruiser version causes the entire front half to violently recoil.

*** The Bzzzerk Dreadnaught launches a massive volley of missiles at random targets as its ability.

** A certain commander ability is to bestow one of these to a single ship.

** Also, before each battle, you choose a single-use Tactic from three randoly selected from a pool of 20 or so.

** Dreadnoughts: A LightningBruiser that combines heavy firepower with extreme toughness. The downside is that their high cost limits your ability to use them and makes losing one very painful.
** Commnd Ship: An unarmed ship that carries the fleet's admiral and can activate thier special ability.

** On the mission select screen, winning a mission in a territory removes all Senate control counters from it.

* AntiFrustrationFeatures: During Capture missions, Cores will never ally with the senate.

* MacrossMissileMassacre: The armaments of the Hoplite Cruiser is a brace of missile launchers. Their very first upgrade goes from three tubes to six.

* ShoutOut: The Astron Militia cameo looks exactly like ''Film/TheRocketeer.''

* SupportPower: Each admiral (including the various races' Militas) has a different activable ability that gives some manner of advantage.

* BeastMan: The Hoplites, a race of rabbit-like aliens.

* DoubleMeaning: The Techno-Slugs are not a *political* party, they're a nomadic, species-wide rave, similar to The Party from ''Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.''

* OrbitingParticleShield: An upgrade for the Hoplite Battleship. However, they simply scramble targeting sensors, giving it an increased dodge chance.

* PettingZooPeople: The Hoplites, a race of rabbit-like aliens.

''Space Tyrant'' is a sci-fi, FourX strategy game, released on [[UsefulNotes/IBMPersonalComputer PC] by Blue Wizard studios in 2018.

* ZergRush: The Senate's main tactic is to squeeze you out with huge amounts of fleets conjured by the use of the ''Deploy Militia'' Special Project.
