About Starscape:
Played this one before the days of Steam, back when the game was advertised on websites as a banner ad. A classic indie game that deserves a whole lot more attention and love than it got. Starts off a bit slow with a bit too much dialog I’ll admit, but give it time and be patient, and after a while it becomes a really addictive and fast paced action/strategy game. It’s like, if Asteroids had an open-ish map where while you’re fighting stuff and mining resources in one location, the enemies are doing the same in other locations and taking away your potential resources to build better ships and guns and stuff. Also, the character art looks like something from deviantART. However, the ships and gameplay graphics look great! It has aged fairly well (but be warned that the max resolution is 800×600 with no widescreen modes!!)I have seen this game ten years ago. I bought it about five years ago from a non-Steam service and promptly lost the ability to play it. I saw it up on a flash sale and promptly bought it. It is a testament to the game that it’s imagery stayed prominent for so long with me. Either way, the game is SPAZ before SPAZ existed. Do not buy it expecting the same polish from a game with a decade of tech advancement inbetween. That said, it’s a fun romp through space mining resoruces, builing tech and blasting aliens.
