About Mission: Space

✦ AI summary

Mission: Space sends you across the galaxy building and upgrading your own spaceship to take down pirates and reclaim fragments of Earth stolen after the planet's destruction. Mine resources on alien worlds, craft custom ship components, battle diverse enemy types, and face challenging bosses to recover Earth's pieces and restore your home.

After the Earth exploded, the fate of the Earth is in your hands. By creatively building your own spaceship, you'll fight your way through space against pirates. On your journey you will meet many different life forms, some with good, others with bad intentions.

After the Earth exploded, the pirates collected the last remnants to generate energy. As one of the last survivors, it is your task to explore the planets. These play an important role in the fight against the pirates, because on them you can mine various materials, as well as trade with the inhabitants to create more components for your rather small spaceship. On your journey through space, it will happen more often that pirates attack you. To progress further, you'll have to defeat them to get money to trade with. When you have enough equipment, you can face different bosses that will test your combat experience. Once you have defeated them, you will receive very special rewards.

Shape your spaceship:
As you progress through the game, you will unlock more and more different components, whether through trade or crafting. You can use these to upgrade your ship and make it stronger. In a construction menu, you can build the spaceship as it suits your play style to wipe out the pirates.

Materials:
Ores and important materials can be mined on planets and exchanged for money to buy other materials or objects, or you can keep it for yourself and collect more materials to upgrade your spaceship without having to buy stuff extra.

Pirates:
After a short explanation and briefing from your on-board computer, you'll have to prove yourself in a first battle, but be on your guard. There are different types of enemy ships and each one has special properties as a result, which can quickly make you stagger.

Story:
The goal is to expand your spaceship more and more, defeat all the pirates, and in doing so you will encounter different challenges that you must overcome. If you have upgraded your spaceship well enough, you can face various bosses that deliver a completely different combat experience. If you defeat the boss, you not only get special rewards, but you also recapture the stolen parts of Earth from the pirates until you have collected them all. Once you've captured all the pieces of the Earth, you'll be able to patch them back together.

✦ AI summary

Mission: Space is criticized by players for its poor production values, outdated 2D visuals, and lack of polish, with reviewers suggesting alternatives like The Ur-Quan Masters instead. Players express frustration with the game's technical presentation and question why it lacks modern 3D graphics capabilities. Based on the available feedback, this does not appear to be a title players recommend spending on.

My gambling addict friend said if I post a review Mission: Space and it gets 350 likes and 150 Awards that he will buy me a case of beer and some vodka. So I'm just gonna leave this here.

"Mission: Space" is a rather poorly made space adventure game where you can slap together your own ship from various modules, collect resources, deal with aliens... there's no other way to put this, though, the production values here are terrible. Go play "The Ur-Quan Masters" instead (the FOSS version of Star Control 2, it's here on Steam for free). The game features really lacklustre 2D visuals (does the developer not know 3D graphics became mainstream in the mid-1990s?). Gamers don't spend thousands of dollars on gaming rigs and the latest 3D graphics cards to play 2D games. Even mobile phones and game consoles can do 3D graphics now. There's no excuse. Not every "free" game really is. There's often MTX, or content locked behind DLC, or donations being requested, or any other number of things that could mislead gamers, but in this case I'm glad to say this really does appear to be a fully free game. Nothing demonstrates a developers belief in themselves and their work than giving it away without any remuneration. This is a service to themselves, and the gaming industry, and should be applauded. Of course, just because something is free, doesn't necessarily mean it's v…
