About StarForce 2193: The Hotep® Controversy

StarForce 2193: The Hotep™ Controversy is an online turn-based strategy card-game for 1 to 5 players.

Playing as one of 5 different factions, each with different goals, you may defend helpless alien civilizations, or exploit them for their planets' natural resources. Play with others who are online, or play against the AI.

Atakcia and Earth have been in peaceful co-existence for many decades, ever since the alien race visited our planet. But now, the Atakcian Mining Consortium has adopted a dreadfully in-humane business practice, which is endangering the civilizations of many innocent worlds. Earth, and its space-exploring organization, Star Force Command, are outraged, and have decided to put an end to this travesty of capitalism, whatever the cost.

Will Earth and Atakcia end up at war? Will the Mining Consortium bow to diplomatic pressure? Will the earth corporation, ExoFaun, Inc. decide to stop providing the scientific resources that enables the Consortium to continue their exploitation?

The outcome, and the fate of many worlds, is up to you.

StarForce 2193 is a browser game that's been dumped on Steam. Gameplay consists of a sci-fi themed cardgame from 1-5 players, all presented with an interface that looks pretty terrible for 1995, and looks completely craptastic today. With such a terrible interface it's impossible to take this seriously. The game isn't really free as you're forced to provide your email address to the developers, presumably for the purpose of data profiling, spamming, and data harvesting. There's no valid reason for the developer to require this, but here we are. The developers admit the game is still only in beta, and given how bad it looks and that it's been on Steam for over 5 years with little to no progress made, this is a fairly dead game. How dead? SteamDB shows a PEAK player number of a pitiful 3 players, ONCE. The game never recovered from that peak, 3 years ago, typically showing zero players but sometimes one player. For a multiplayer only game, that's proof of death. Presumably nobody was interested in handing over personal data to the developers for their spyware/data hustling scheme. That's understandable. As usual, if the product (even really crap products like StarForce …

Игра 'StarForce 2193: The Hotep® Controversy' – это крайне нишевый продукт, который либо вызовет у вас восторг, либо полное отторжение. Визуальный стиль, вдохновленный ретро-футуризмом и афроцентричными мотивами, одновременно притягивает и сбивает с толку. Геймплей представляет собой смесь космических перестрелок и текстовых квестов с акцентом на моральные дилеммы. Сюжет, затрагивающий темы культурной апроприации и будущего идентичности, поднимает важные вопросы, но подача может показаться чересчур прямолинейной и провокационной. Однозначно не для всех, но если вам интересны необычные проекты, бросающие вызов общепринятым нормам, стоит дать этой игре шанс. Рискнете ли вы погрузиться в этот противоречивый мир?
