About Starscape

Moonpod's Starscape mixes old school arcade game play values with characterization and an involving plot to deepen the whole experience.
With most of its crew missing and its weapons systems ruined, the space research station Aegis is all but lost. As the last remaining pilot you must help rebuild the station's defenses, acquire alien technology and create your own uniquely configured set of fighters. By mining the asteroids within the grid dimension, valuable resources can be harvested to fuel the Aegis's molecular furnace to build devastating weaponry. Within the nodes of the grid you will encounter allies to aid in the struggle to escape, uncover the terrible purpose of the evil Archnid race and learn why you and the rest of the crew were brought here.
  • Beautifully rendered 32bit colour graphics
  • 800x600 resolution
  • Thumping music sound track and sound effects
  • Five different weapon technology threads to find and research, only the first is available in the demo
  • Five different zones to explore, only the first is available in the demo and the rest are much much bigger
  • Make alliances with friendly aliens and trade technology
  • Direct and protect your space station as it fights alongside you
  • Create your own "garage" of unique space fighters tailored to your own specifications
  • Mine the asteroids, gather raw elements, research new technologies and build new items
  • Recover the missing drive components and rescue your missing crewmates before escaping "The Grid".

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.
