DarkStar One

Darkstar One is a space adventure in which you pilot and upgrade the ship Darkstar One, take on missions and explore a vast simulated universe. Story missions lead you deeper into the galaxy, introducing new races, technologies and increasingly powerful opponents. You can choose how to earn credits and whether to act as a good or bad character, including taking advantage of political disputes.

Explore the galaxy

Search solar systems for hidden artifacts left by ancient races. These artifacts are essential for upgrading Darkstar One. The universe contains many distinct races, ships and battle tactics, and special missions take you through canyons or underground on unknown worlds. The story is told through more than 50 minutes of video sequences.

Earn credits

You can earn credits through assignments, bounty hunting, piracy, smuggling, trading, escorting, transporting and rewards, among other activities. Spend them on better equipment, including weapons and shields.

Configure your ship

Choose how to build Darkstar One: for example, as a fast attack ship with many light weapons or a near-invincible cruiser with heavy weaponry. The game includes over 200 weapons, shields and equipment items, including weapons acquired from other races. These distinctive weapons have their own functions and call for different battle tactics.

Weapons and tactics

Rockets, torpedoes and mines have special tactical uses; mines can fire at opponents or distract incoming missiles. The Spell Weapon has a powerful effect similar to certain spells in role-playing games. It becomes more versatile as you progress, expanding your tactical options.
