![]() ![]() ![]() Add in odd camera angles and the round shape of the ship, it can be a struggle to play. There is an option to help mitigate this in-game, though it doesn't seem to change anything notable. After some time away and adjusting to the camera, gameplay could commence. Every game had to be paused shortly after the start so I could walk away for a short bit and re-orientate myself to continue playing. I personally suffer from extreme motion sickness to the point where I can't look at a phone or a book in motion longer than ten seconds without becoming so nauseated I feel like I may get sick. The reason why is how the ship itself is designed, a giant floating ring. As weird as that may sound for a city sim game, it can be quite prominent sometimes. One of the biggest issues encountered while playing Spacebase Startopia is motion sickness.

The resource deck is probably one of the more enjoyable areas of the game. This is a necessary part of the game, so you can properly manage and balance out exactly what crafting materials and resources are brought and transported around the ship, as well as for your citizen's own well-being. You could also spend some time down on the resource deck, where you can customize the different types of environmental biomes for plants to grow in. No matter what, there is always something to do to progress forward or something that needs to be maintained to keep your aliens happy. Let's be honest though, a quick visit to the space cat cafe is probably the best way to lift anyone's spirits. ![]() The constant checking of the three decks can seem a little irritating, but in most games there comes a few moments where you tend to just sit there and idle for a while until the next big thing happens. uhh, eco-friendly and self-sustaining space stations.Īll that aside, Spacebase Startopia does a great job making sure you are always staying busy. that is supposedly helping you, yet is obviously just expanding their space base empire to dominate the galaxy with. You gotta make a living though, right? And what better way to suddenly be employed by some psychopath hell-bent on creating a self-sustaining space base by also eliminating any threats that may stand in the way on board! Let us not forget the A.I. Although for some reason, most of them enjoy being put into forced paid labour by some mysterious all mighty being only minutes after they arrive at the station. And as if maintaining the three Space Station Decks, entertaining the eight Alien races and defending against enemy invaders were not enough of a challenge, the dynamic narrator AI is not going to mince matters and commentates the events in a lovely but sharp-tongued manner.Your space station has numerous different types of aliens that love to stop by for a visit, all requiring specific needs that have to be met to keep them happy there. In addition to the challenging single player Campaign and the versatile battle mode, there are also competitive and cooperative multiplayer modes for up to four players. Spacebase Startopia captivates with its original mixture of economic simulation and empire building strategy paired with classic RTS skirmishes and a good dose of humor. So, what are we waiting for? Let's get to work! Let us join forces to conquer space."* ![]() Oh, and before I forget – it's probably just a bug in my security protocols anyway – but my sensors are showing just loads of enemy creatures in all of the other Sectors… Amongst others, there’s the development of further Sectors, maintenance of the three vital Main Decks as well as the customer acquisition and entertainment of our extraterrestrial visitors, who provide us with sufficient Energy for our plans for global improvement. To keep the same thing from happening to you, there's a lot you're going to have to do. Well then, CONGRATULATIONS! I hereby officially pronounce you Commander of this Space Station! Hopefully you will enjoy more success than your predecessor who, according to the logbook, er… ran into some wormlike Aliens… Oh, nothing to worry about! Furthermore, it would appear that you are the only rational life form in this Sector. Oh, excuse me, it seems my system is no longer up-to-date – – so, much better… WELCOME to the Spacebase Startopia*! I'm VAL, your helpful and efficient Space Station AI!Īccording to my records, this Station hasn’t been used at all in the last 17 years! How very strange. ![]()
