Digital Releases August 21, 2010[1] (GG, D2D) August 23, 2010[2] (Impulse) September 20, 2010[3] (Steam) Boxed Releases Star Ruler is a space 4X / RTS hybrid developed and published by American company Blind Mind Studios.

However this deal fell through and Star Ruler never launched in retail outlets in the United States.

Generated systems may have orbiting planets, moons, asteroids, comets, or aggressive, capturable, NPC assets.

Key differences from other games of the genre are: Detailed unit creation, behavior, and automation customization, physically modeled star systems and orbiting bodies, and a lack of traditional maintenance and unit count cap game mechanics.

A sequel Star Ruler 2 was announced on August 1, 2013[9] with a prospective launch date of late 2014.
