About Starwisp Hyperdrive

✦ AI summary

Inherit a broken, haunted spaceship and make it your cozy home while taking on odd jobs, growing alien plants, and bonding with robot buddies across a procedurally explored galaxy. This space RPG prioritizes chill exploration and character-driven storytelling over reaching any particular destination, letting you fix your decrepit vessel, conduct risky experiments, and chat with space weirdos at your own pace.

Starwisp Hyperdrive is in early access - you might encounter bugs, and sections still being completed. Let us know in the Steam forums or our discord server about bugs and feedback! To check out what other features are coming soon, see the early access section above.

You've inherited a spaceship! But there's one or two teeny tiny little problems.... It's a bit of a fixer upper. It has a bad reputation. Government agents seem to take a strange interest. Also, it appears to be haunted. Aside from that, it's your cozy new home!

Starwisp Hyperdrive is a space RPG adventure that's more about the journey than the destination.

Although this game is tagged as "RPG" and "Adventure" it is more of a cozy life sim set in space. I enjoyed my time playing it but, as it is Early Access, there is very little content and plenty of bugs. I was able to do the main story (if you could consider it that) in less than five hours and afterwards there is nothing but repeating delivery quests. However, this game has immense potential and as I went through it I saw many placeholders for future content which got me excited for what this game may become. I could begin listing things I would like to see added in the game but I have a feeling the devs already have the same ideas and it is just a matter of time and work. I am giving this game a Thumbs Up for the concept and the potential it has but, as an early access game, it feels more like a technical demo than an actual game. That being said I'm not sure if it is currently worth it's asking price. I hope the developers stick with it and turn it into the amazing experience it could become.

I've been looking at this for a while and decided to go ahead and get it and I'm glad I did. I have 70 min. in it so far and if they do what they have planed it's going to be very good. The biggest problem I'm having now is finding my way around the ship. The store page gives you no idea as to how big the ship is. It's very simple. About the only keys you need are the WASD and C. C interaction key but I wish it was the F key. Some games I have use the F key and I think it is easier to use. Shift toggles run and walk. It's kind of a niche game and may be a little slow for the run and gun crowed. My recommendation is, if it sounds like something you would be interested in, get it.

I really like this. It's cozy, and it captures the day-to-day of being on a spaceship. Shower, eat, sleep, wait to get to your destination. Very calming. Not much in the way of excitement just yet, but the relaxation is nice after a long day at work. Looking forward to where the game goes. This fits a niche that few games have filled.

just started playing but as another reviewer said its similar to objects in space, as in you live in your ship you repair it etc but also like a life sim you grow food craft things investigate things in a lab, and also you can do missions ( delivery, dont know if there is more) like the game great potential there is no game similar that you live truly in your ship, have been looking for something like this, dont know how i miss it til now

This is really cool and has potential to be so immersive. It already is very nice! I hope the devs keep working on it and add mouse only controls pretty please for accessibility? <3

The game is excellent bones for a great game in the future. Right now the game has some stuff to do but a lot of it is hit button & wait. You have to walk everywhere which isn't bad but is time consuming. There are no directions and the map doesn't really help so finding things means just wandering around to find it. The farming function has no explanations of how it works and I can't find any help online. Over all it sounds like I am being quite down on this game but honestly I love the idea and the bones are great but it is clearly not done is all. I AM hoping there will be more customisation of the ship & outfits.
