Astra Protocol 2

Astra Protocol 2 is a cassette-futurism-inspired space adventure in which you command a powerful spacecraft on a search-and-rescue mission. You navigate celestial bodies and asteroids, avoid hostile craft and look for evidence of survivors as you investigate the mystery of the Astra Protocol. The game uses text commands, a 1980s-themed interface and an operations manual.

Command your ship

You use several modules to operate the spacecraft. The Helm lets you set engine and rudder levels or use intelligent bearing settings, while Engineering provides detailed readouts for monitoring the ship’s status. Navigation helps you travel through hostile sectors with a semi-intelligent autopilot and pathfinding systems.

Scan and defend

The Science module provides instruments for scanning planets and spacecraft, searching for hostiles, detecting distress beacons and probing points of interest. The Ordnance module lets you defend the ship with homing torpedoes, mines, multi-functional lasers and adjustable shields. You need to make use of all the modules to uncover the meaning of the Astra Protocol.
