Starcom: Unknown Space

Starcom: Unknown Space is an action-adventure RPG about exploring space, building a starship and fighting tactical battles. You enter an open universe of alien factions competing for power, strange worlds and mysteries to investigate, and a sinister enemy threatening the galaxy with an ancient power. Its story is new and does not require familiarity with Starcom: Nexus.

Explore the galaxy

More than 100 star systems contain undiscovered planets, mysterious artifacts, lost derelicts and strange phenomena. You can investigate over 230 uniquely illustrated anomalies, each with its own story, and discover more than 100 artifacts to collect, analyze and trade. The game includes over 60 main-story and side-quest missions.

You can set the smart autopilot for known locations, find fast-travel gateways to distant systems or venture into the unknown void. A searchable ship log records encounters and interactions.

Design your starship

An innovative shipbuilding system lets you turn your small scout ship into a vessel of your own design. You can build a deep-space explorer, a fast strike craft or an armor-heavy battlecruiser, experiment with different designs and share your blueprints with others.

Research and crew

Scientific discoveries grant Research Points, which unlock modules and enhancements through a technology research tree. You can choose technologies to suit your play style, such as plasma cannons or long-range missiles, armor or shields, crew specializations or a larger hull. Training your command crew improves their skills and the bonuses they provide to ship management.

Alien factions

Each alien faction has its own motives. You decide whom to trust, trade with, hire or attack. Factions can change their disposition and behavior in response to your actions.

Tactical combat

Fast-paced tactical combat is part of your exploration. You can save anywhere outside combat.
