✦ AI summary

Starscape is a nostalgic arcade space game that holds up remarkably well for its age, with engaging gameplay and a soundtrack that players still enjoy today, though its age does show in various ways. Long-time fans consider it a classic worth revisiting and credit it as a spiritual predecessor to beloved titles like Starsector, though some find it tedious at times and feel it wasn't worth the asking price even years ago. Most players recommend it primarily for those seeking retro gaming experiences or existing fans of the series rather than as a current purchase.

I think this was my very first purchase on steam that wasn't immediately related to OG steam like counterstrike or something. Anyways this is the canonical precursor to space pirates and zombies, which is the precursor to starsector and starsector is magical. This game is magical too but it's showing. It's still arcade fun and the music still holds up. It's good albeit old as ♥♥♥♥, but so am i, and i'm amazing. honest 8/10 for the time it came out.

Steam doesn't register offline hours. I've been playing this game for 20 years. It remains one of my favorites.

Starscape was one of the first games I had on PC way back in the day. It provided me hours upon hours of entertainment along with BG1, Traffic Department 2192, Doom, Wolfenstein, and a handful of other DOS games. I'm so happy it's on Steam.

I bought this waaay back when I first joined Steam. It was something like $5 when I got it, and it wasn't worth it then. Hard pass.

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
