Similar to tourists, workers also have their own needs to stay productive and happy. Likewise, your workers (different xeno species) focus on various actions that help your station grow. They will require food, sleeping quarters, bathrooms, decent ventilation, excitement, and Zen relaxation. Like other management sim games where you have to take care of your citizens’ needs, Spacebase Startopia also has you looking out for your alien tourists. This is also where you can collect various by-products such as oxygen or fiber. Lastly, the bio deck has various flora so aliens can marvel at nature. Meanwhile, the entertainment deck has dance floors, cat cafes, and gambling rooms.

The sub deck acts as a lounge, factory, and hangar. You’ll start adding various rooms, decorations, and functional contraptions in the station’s three decks. With the war between the galaxy’s races at an end, alien species are looking for a new way to entertain themselves. In Spacebase Startopia, you take on the role of a space station’s manager. I came to Spacebase Startopia with an open mind, only to leave feeling disappointed and discombobulated.

It’s based on Startopia, a game that released back in 2001.Īlthough I wasn’t able to play the original Startopia (indeed, I’m not even sure if it ever reached Philippine shores), I gave this new, modern title a try. Spacebase Startopia is a management sim game from developer Realmforge Studios and publisher Kalypso Media.
