Brief history
Malfador Machinations was created by Aaron Hall to publish Space Empires II, the sequel to his self-produced 4X game, Space Empires, which was released two years earlier in 1993.[1][2] Space Empires II was a strong success, often being included in limited form in shareware collections, including Romtech's best selling Galaxy of Games series. On September 6, 2002 Malfador Machinations broke with its reputation for space themed games by releasing a hack-n-slash role-playing game entitled Dungeon Odyssey, but this was not as successful as the Space Empires games and never received a sequel.
On April 5, 2006, Malfador Machinations was acquired by Strategy First.[3][4]
Malfador's last game was Space Captain, which was released to the Google Play store in 2014.[5] While it continued many concepts from the Space Empires series, it was more focused on elements of combat and exploration rather than the micromanagement that the series had been known for, and is the last release from the company.
