Starcom: Unknown Space is an action adventure RPG of space exploration, ship building and fast-paced tactical combat. Enter a vast open-world universe filled with alien factions vying for power, strange worlds to explore, mysteries to investigate, and a sinister enemy that threatens the galaxy with an ancient power.
Explore a fully-open world universe with over a hundred star systems filled with undiscovered planets, mysterious artifacts, lost derelicts, and strange phenomena. Over 230 anomalies to investigate, each uniquely illustrated and with their own story.
Transform your small scout ship into a powerful starship of your own design with an innovative shipbuilding system. Make a deep space explorer, a fast strike craft, or an armor-leaden battlecruiser. Experiment with different designs and share your blueprints with others.
Every new scientific discovery grants Research Points allowing you to unlock new modules and enhancements with a deep technology research tree. Choose techs that favor your preferred gameplay style: Upgrade your plasma cannons or unlock long range missiles? Better armor or shields? Unlock crew specializations first or a larger hull? 
The galaxy is full of unique alien factions each with their own motives. Decide who you will trust, trade with, hire, or vaporize. 
Fans of Starcom: Nexus should know that the overall game mechanics have remained similar (with a lot of improvements), this is not a direct sequel-- it is a brand new story. New players will not need to be familiar with the plot of Starcom: Nexus to jump right in.

Really Fun
For me it's just the right pace. Cool little stories everywhere you look with not too punishing combat.

Starcom Unknown Space
I love these kind of games, and this one is done right! The plot happens as you explore, often finding puzzles or solutions to those puzzles in random order. Plus space ships are cool.

Pretty decent game
I'll admit that I really enjoy the rival game, Star Control Origins. But I don't think I was compelled to play that game quite like I was this one. I've spent hours tweaking exactly how my ship is laid out.

Beauty in Simplicity
Starcom Nexus was a great return to form. This follow up, Space Unknown, is a worthwhile successor.
