Spacebase Startopia

Spacebase Startopia impresses with its original blend of economic simulation and building strategy, combined with classic RTS skirmishes and a healthy dose of humor. In addition to the challenging single-player campaign and the varied combat mode, there is a competitive and cooperative multiplayer mode for up to four players. As if maintaining the three space station decks, entertaining the eight extraterrestrial alien races, and fending off hostile intruders weren't enough of a challenge, the dynamic narrator AI "VAL" doesn't hold back and provides sharp commentary on the events.

In the ten-mission fully voiced single-player campaign, your skills as the commander of Spacebase Startopia are put to the test as you strive to create one of the most attractive trade and tourism magnets around. Each of the three decks demands your leadership skills, with the Sub-Deck containing all essential life-supporting rooms, while the Fun Deck focuses on providing varied entertainment for your visitors, and the flora and fauna of the Bio-Deck ensure enough vital resources and a home for the graceful Dryads. You are not alone. Compete against your rivals—small acts of economic sabotage or attacks with mech units can maintain hostilities when peaceful trade no longer suffices. And watch out for enterprising space pirates. The dynamic narrator AI "VAL" reacts to your decisions and is always there to offer advice and assistance, or sometimes unqualified comments. In addition to the extensive single-player campaign, you can look forward to a customizable sandbox mode as well as a competitive and cooperative multiplayer mode for up to four players.
