Base-Builder The Last Starship blasts off into Early Access
Intergalactic adventures await as The Last Starship officially launched into Early Access today. The developers behind Prison Architect are inviting fans to let their imaginations run free in space with this new base-builder. Build a massive fleet as an entire crew awaits the players’ commands to carry out critical missions and defend the galaxy from dangerous enemies.
The Last Starship aims to make space engineering both challenging and fun, as it pushes players to strategically build a fleet and decide how to utilize their ship best. Build starships and use your creations to explore the galaxy, save civilians, and go on dangerous missions. Not only will players keep an eye on how their ship is engineered and functioning, but they also need to ensure their crew is taken care of with proper resources like oxygen tanks.
“Prison Architect taught us how to deliver a brilliant Early Access experience, and we’ll take that same collaborative development approach to deliver our vision of an engineering-based, starship building and exploration game” - Mark Morris, Managing Director of Introversion Software.
Similar to how Prison Architect developed, Introversion Software is promising to update The Last Starship throughout the Early Access phase. Players can expect to see significant updates that will enhance their gameplay experience sprinkled throughout Early Access until the game has reached its fullest potential.
Key Features:
Equip Your Ship: Let your imagination run free in either Campaign or Creative modes by designing a starship and equipping it with life-saving technology to protect the crew onboard.
Explore the Universe: The only way to know if a ship's design is good is to test it out. The sector map is the gateway to a procedurally generated universe. Each system has different missions, scenarios, and anomalies for you to explore.
Process Resources: Space is cold, dark, and empty. To survive, your crew will need resources such as water, oxygen, fuel, and materials for building more ships.
Engage the Enemy: Take complete control over where to install your weapons. The game’s unique combat system will have you strategically thinking on and off the battlefield.
Grow Your Fleet: As your starship grows, so will the requirements to keep everyone alive. You'll need to not only expand your current starship but design other ships with different capabilities to keep trekking through deep space.
The Last Starship is available on Steam for a launch discount of $26.99. To follow The Last Starship’s progress, players can wishlist on Steam.
