Gameplay

Reception



Star Hammer: The Vanguard Prophecy received "mixed or average" reviews according to review aggregator Metacritic.
Patrick Baker of Armchair General summarized: "Star Hammer: The Vanguard Prophecy is a very good game. It is fun, and involving to play and well worth the $19.99 price tag. The game can only be made better by adding a ship design module, a true scenario editor and a multi-player function."
Matt Purslow of PCGamesN summarized: "Star Hammer’s combat systems are truly exceptional, but they’re trapped in a bland, forgettable campaign."
Alex Connolly of Pocket Tactics summarized: "Aural nitpicking aside, and despite a distinct lack of multiplayer, Star Hammer: The Vanguard Prophecy is a quiet gem."
Richard Talbot of Wargamer said: "[...] overall I have so far really enjoyed Star Hammer. The game looks good and the WEGO turn system works really well.
Star Hammer won best game award at West Australian Screen Awards.
