Description

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


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. 

 

Build Your Starship


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. 

Discover & Research


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? 

Make Allies & Enemies


The galaxy is full of unique alien factions each with their own motives. Decide who you will trust, trade with, hire, or vaporize. 

More Features:


  • 60 main story and side-quest missions to discover
  • Train your command crew to improve their skills and ship management bonuses
  • Smart autopilot to known locations, discover fast-travel gateways to distant systems, or venture into the unknown void
  • Alien factions will change their disposition and behavior depending on your actions
  • Collect, analyze, and trade over 100 different artifacts
  • Detailed, searchable ship log of every encounter and interaction
  • Save anywhere outside combat


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.

Great Game

Hits a lot of high notes. Lots of combat to sate the bloodlust. Lots of atmosphere. Almost no repeats of flavor text, always something new just around the corner. Finally a game that scratches the starcon 2 itch!

Solid hit! Don't Skip this Game!

I bought Starcom: Nexus which I found to be enjoyable. Further, I bought Unknown Space while it was still in Early Development. I continue to learn and find new things I missed in previous playthroughs. The game is balanced, you don't always win, you can die often, but still be willing to jump back in right away. There are some long lulls. So, I decided to explore the entire map (still working on that task). There are systems/planets that seem to pop up in explored space only because the plot line says they should be there now. Ship crafting is much better than Nexus. With better designs, easy adaptability, I 'feel' like this is a real ship and it's mine! I look forward to continued improvements but it's already a solid game and worthy of your investment. Don't miss out.

It's fun

Easy to learn, easy to get lost in, not too deep. Just what I'm in the mood for right now

A modern day Star Control

WARNING: This game is addictive! Design your starship, train your officers, and set out with your crew into the black! Explore distant systems, make contact with bizarre alien races, send an away team to investigate the planet surface, and forge alliances. You will need them, for your enemies could be waiting in ambush at your next jump. Controls for navigation, combat, exploration, diplomacy, and everything else is simplified and streamlined for quick & fun action. Combat can be handled with dual stick controls a la Smash TV or keyboard & mouse. Your ship's performance and handling is dependant on your design decisions. There's no penalty for tweaking your build as often as you please to try out different play styles. Follow the main storyline with its RPG-like quests, or blaze your own trail through the stars. There is depth to the narrative, and dialog with your crew and Starcom Command is well written. I very much enjoyed the scifi-flavored discussions of physics, engineering, linguistics, etc. Highly recommeded for fans of Star Control, FTL, Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica and the like.

Just what I needed.

A great game that is the right mix of crunchy and cozy, that lets you explore spcae, meet new races, discover mysteries, and sometime blow stuff up really good. Story has been paced pretty well, and allows plenty of time to "do your own thing". No complaints at all on my part.
