[quote][b]Note: Dead multiplayer game[/b] This game contains no meaningful single player content. There's no players, no populated servers. This multiplayer-only game cannot be played as intended.[/quote] This is an incredibly overambitious MMORPG that delivers extremely badly on every promise it makes, resulting, in a surprise to nobody, a game with more developer hours than player hours, and as SteamDB faithfully shows, no players. The concept is great, it's EvE online but with a tiny fraction of the features, with worse graphics, the same level of PvP toxicity, and a UI that makes the original EverQuest look like paradise. It's pretty clear why this was such a failure. For starters, EvE online already exists. Definitely a great idea for amateur developers, before hammering out their first bit of amateurish code, to just take a quick look around and see if someone hasn't already done your game 19 years earlier but better in every respect. Really great advice, that. I'm going to ignore it and make "Mass Effect" with RPG Maker. I'll surely make millions from that. So, Starship Traders MMO is a dead multiplayer game. Why did it fail?

I was going to give it a negative review, but then I noticed I played for a whole hour, yet it felt like 15 minutes. Edit: After playing a while longer I feel like this game deserves a deeper review. I stumbled upon this game while trying to find a neat space sim after getting burnt out on starsector. I came across this, and downloaded and played it despite telling myself I'm not touching an MMO. For the first 30 minutes I had no clue what I was doing, HOW I was even MOVING, and what the goal is. I knew one thing: Combat is done through drones, and I need drones to attack aliens. I had no drones. This was a problem and the goal was to find a solution. Eventually I'm on a planet with a station on it and I spam X to get cash and xp. No drones though. On this planet were a few million neutral drones. I press S after reading some guides and voila! I can buy 1000 drones per 1 weapon + 1M$. And the rest is history. The history: I hunted aliens for their ships and slowly increased the amount of drones I had until I exceeded 1M drones, built a bunker and moved some planets around. Then I messaged Sigillus, an experienced player and we played this game together for a while, shared intel on…

Charming and oldschool, this game just needs more players to be extremely interesting. A very fun game, devoid of artificial difficulty and surprisingly addictive.

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

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.
