Spacebase Startopia

Spacebase Startopia impresses with its original mix of economic simulation and construction strategy, paired with classic RTS skirmishes and a good dose of humor. The challenging single-player campaign and the varied battle mode are joined by a competitive and cooperative multiplayer mode for up to four players. As if maintaining the three space station decks, populating the eight extraterrestrial alien races, and fending off enemy invaders weren't challenge enough, the dynamic narrator AI "VAL" provides sharp-tongued commentary on the action.

In the 10-mission, fully-dubbed single-player campaign, your skill as commander of the Startopia spacebase is called upon to create one of the most attractive trade and tourism magnets far and wide. Each of the three decks challenges your leadership skills, with the sub-deck containing all the vital spaces, while the fun deck focuses on providing varied entertainment for your visitors, and the flora and fauna of the bio-deck ensuring ample resources for survival and a home for the graceful dryads. You are not alone. Prevail against your fellow competitors—small acts of economic sabotage or attacks with mech units maintain enmity when you can't get anywhere with peaceful trade. Watch out for enterprising space pirates. The dynamic narrator AI "VAL" reacts to your decisions and is always at your side with advice and action or sometimes with unqualified comments. In addition to the extensive single-player campaign, you can expect a customizable sandbox mode as well as a competitive and cooperative multiplayer mode for up to four players. The PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S version features native 4K, enhanced performance, and improved visual effects. Includes additional printed postcards.
