## Description
_Wakusei Dethperant_ is the third entry in the Schwarzschild series and the
follow-up to Teikoku no Haishin. Human civilization has expanded beyond the
Milky Way, but further advancement was made difficult due to the presence of
strong, consolidated alien nations beyond the borders of the galaxy. The
events of the game take place in the Gardinal star system not far from the
Milky Way. The player is cast into the role of Exas Graft, the human
(“Earthman”, according to the game’s terminology) leader of the small Parsian
Republic. Eleven nations are present in the region, and Graft must defend his
new homeland through skillful diplomacy and military strategy.
The game’s basic gameplay rules remain similar to those of the two previous
installments. Like before, the focus of the game is on grand strategy —
resource management, research, diplomacy, etc., rather than on combat tactics.
Like in the preceding games, combat occurs automatically and the player can
only choose general commands during his turn. The interface has been revamped,
with a much larger viewing area of the star system and no fixed windows for
menus. _Wakusei Dethperant_ is more character-oriented than the previous
entries in the series, depicting unique alien races and assigning personality
traits and distinct visual appearance to each leader and general. The game’s
visuals also have a more pronounced anime flavor.
