The highly anticipated sequel to one of 2022’s most acclaimed RPGs, Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector takes players to the Starward Belt, a richly realised, ramshackle set of habitats in an asteroid belt full of secrets, stories, and characters trying to make ends meet.
You are a sleeper, an emulation of a human mind housed in an artificial body. You are on the run from the corporation that made you and the gang that seeks to control you. Commandeer a ship, build a network of crew and allies, and take on challenging contracts as you seek to build a future for yourself.
Choose a class, configure your skills and assemble your crew in unique tabletop-inspired gameplay. Your future depends on the roll of a dice, as you make difficult choices in a complex world. Reinventing the award-winning systems of Citizen Sleeper, this dice-driven RPG will satisfy both fans of the original game and new players alike.
To stay one step ahead of your pursuers you’ll need three things: A belt-worthy ship, a tight crew and a contract or two.
The ship you stole. It’s a ragged old Rig that’s seen better days, but it’s all you’ve got. Upgrade your ship to extend its range, reach new locations and turn it from a hovel to a home.
Your crew starts with Serafin, your fellow escapee and a rock-solid pilot. But you’ll need scrappers, engineers and all sorts to take on the work that’ll keep you flying. From temporary contractors to new residents of the Rig, each of these characters has their own story, skills and troubles. Choose carefully.
Contracts take place far from the bars and shops of the Belt’s many hubs. These high-risk jobs each have their own challenges. From exploring treacherous derelicts and risky heists, to asteroid surveying and ship repair, you’ll need to make the most of your skills, crew and resources to complete the contract and get paid.
Soon after escaping from your corporate overlords, you fell under the control of a local criminal gang and its leader, Laine. Now, after a desperate attempt to free yourself from servitude by rewriting the very code that governs your system, you are on the run again, this time with a malfunctioning body, a price on your head and no memory of your past.
Nothing in the Belt ever runs smooth, including your artificial body. Citizen Sleeper’s revolutionary dice system returns, revised for the sequel. Manage your stress or take damage to your dice. Deal with glitches as they accrue in your system. Push yourself to get lucky and make this cycle count.
Each character class now has a unique “Push” ability, upgradable and customisable, that can help you turn the tide of a difficult job or send you into a dangerous spiral depending on how and when you choose to use it. Reroll your dice to change your fate, or focus a single die to bet everything on a big success. Each class offers different tactical possibilities.
Contracts offer a new kind of focussed, tactical gameplay to the Citizen Sleeper experience. You’ll need to prepare carefully and choose the right approach for these multi-cycle, high-risk, high-reward jobs, but you’ll also have to react and adapt to both the roll of the dice and the twists and turns of each task.
The Starward Belt offers a bigger, more varied world than the original game. Instead of living on a single station, you'll chart a course from hub to hub with complete freedom, taking on jobs and setting goals as you see fit. A living world, the Belt rewards curiosity and care, but it's up to you to decide which locations and stories deserve your time and resources.
Player choice is a massive part of the Citizen Sleeper experience, and the sequel deepens this with new skill checks that allow you to express your class and character in scenes, as well as branching storylines that will ask you to make hard choices. The future of your character is up to you.

Nicht so gut wie Citizen Sleeper...
...aber immer noch sehr gut! Ich habe hauptsächlich Probleme mit den geänderten Ressourcensystemen. Dass man - wenn man Pech hat - eine Mission mit sechs fast-kaputten Würfeln starten muss, weil man nur vollständig kaputte Würfel reparieren darf, ist furchtbar. Geld spielt nach der ersten Spielstunde eigentlich keine Rolle mehr, Treibstoff und Vorräte entsprechend auch nicht. Während in CS1 immer irgendein baldiges Ereignis für Druck sorgte, hat man in CS2 viele Pausen. Das ist nett, falls einem der erste Teil zu stressig war, nimmt aber dem Drama in CS2 etwas den Wumms weg, und man farmt sich schon fast unabsichtlich ein kleines Vermögen zwischen zeitbegrenzten Plotpunkten an. Ein Fokus von CS2 ist das Schiff und die Crew. Aber während ich die Crew zum Großteil mochte, sind sie nicht so prägnant wie im ersten Teil, und das Schiff sehen wir nie von innen. Ich kann nicht behaupten, dass ich mich dort so zuhause gefühlt hätte wie auf der Weltraumstation des Vorgängers. Tolle Musik, hübsche Grafik. Ich bin ein paar Bug begegnet, manchmal verschwanden Bildschirmelemente oder sie ließen sich nicht anwählen, bis man den Spielstand neu lädt. Einmal triggerte ein Story-Ereignis, obwohl ich noch gar nicht mit der dafür vorausgesetzten Aufgabe fertig war.

Excellent follow-up
This game further fills out the fascinating universe and characters of Citizen Sleeper, and intuitively evolves its mechanics. Everything I said in my review of the first one applies to this one too. But I forgot to mention that the soundtrack is great, just like it is here too. While it's a standalone entry, the various references to the previous story evoke a warm sense of familiarity. It all fits together seamlessly while being at the same time more expansive. If you have any interest in the series just get them both and play them in order, you won't regret it. I sincerely hope this series continues. The universe they've built is filled with potential and I think there are a lot of options on how to keep moving it forward.
