I learnt more through the solo experience, but had much more fun with the freedom that I found when taking on the multiplayer portion of the game. The campaign is rigid, with no ability to change your objectives, whereas the multiplayer mode lets the players choose their tasks, how many gamers are involved, the difficulty, map size, and so on.
Each of the modes has set goals that must be achieved, and these are shown at the beginning of any playthrough. Unlike several simulation titles, this one allows for a solo campaign and multiplayer action, where you have the choice to face either human or CPU gamers. Now we have that out of the way, lets look at what you get for your money. Before we go any further, Spacebase Startopia is a Game Preview title!Īs an Early Access game, changes can be made at the drop of a hat, so you must know if you wish to buy this, you may end up with a product that looks completely different from the one you purchased. Either way, I hope that this is addressed at a later date, as this missing function needs to be implemented to improve the accessibility of the gameplay. This seemed alien to me (pun intended), and I may have missed something, or this may have been an oversight by the developers. Unlike its peers, I could not speed up or slow down the action. The gameplay flows at a gentle pace, allowing you to get to grips with everything in a timely fashion.
SPACEBASE STARTOPIA ALIENS FULL
You are offered a full tutorial that lays out the fundamentals, but this is only the beginning, and mastery of the finer details comes with practise. As the station manager, you handle the wellbeing of your staff, and the joy of every carbon based Lifeform that steps foot/tentacle on board.Īs with most of these titles in this genre, getting to grips with the basic mechanics is a bit of a nightmare. You are in charge of building, researching, happiness, garbage collection, trading, planting, harvesting and so forth. I waited eagerly as my installation bar slowly filled up to the 100% mark as I desperately wanted to play Spacebase Startopia.ĭeveloped by Realmforge Studios, and published by Kalypso Media, this simulation title has you controlling every aspect of each space station that you come across. To say I was a little excited when I heard about their latest title is an understatement. The name Kalypso Media is synonymous with these games, and I have grown up with nearly every franchise that they have been involved in. I love how easy it is to get lost in this crazy in-depth world that you must micro manage within an inch of its life.
I have been a fan of the simulation genre for as long as I can remember.
