Description

In The Shadow Of Jupiter is a 1-4 player cooperative resource management game set on four moons of Jupiter.
The year is 2075. Earth is running out of resources. Countries and global corporations are growing desperate and have taken to the outer planets for a new source of energy to replace our dwindling reserves. A deep space probe discovers a new rare element in the lower troposphere of Jupiter which scientists name Exonium. This element will provide significant relief to the energy crisis on Earth.
In a move to beat its competitors, the Power Dynamics Corporation (PDC) has decided to take matters into its own hands. PDC has built a large carrier spacecraft containing four drop ships and sufficient resources to initiate development of stations on four of the moons of Jupiter, Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto.

You and your fellow PDC teammates will serve as the Commanders of these moon stations. You will each strive to establish a base camp, build the necessary production facilities, and become self-sufficient all the while working with your fellow commanders to get the Orbital Platform running at full strength. The environment around Jupiter is an extremely hostile one. Radiation, magnetic storms, moon quakes, and uncounted quantities of small debris rain down on every moon within the Jovian system. Life on an inhospitable foreign moon can be dangerous, but if the human race is to survive, failure is not an option…….

Welcome to In the Shadow of Jupiter, a strategic co-op game where you and your fellow PDC colleagues will strive to build stations on the different moons of Jupiter and survive against the dangers of space long enough to complete construction on the orbital mining platform. You are up against the clock, you can only last for so long before running out of supplies!
