Starship Commander: Arcade

Starship Commander: Arcade is a cinematic, choice-driven space adventure in which you pilot the XR71 on a top-secret mission to infiltrate and destroy an Ecknian spy facility. Your choices and performance determine who lives and who dies.

Speak freely

You talk to characters through an open dialogue system, speaking into a microphone rather than choosing from dialogue wheels. Non-player characters react to what you say. You can ask Sergeant Sarah Pearson about your ship and its lore, or give commands such as “Let’s go.”

The mission

The XR71 is described as the galaxy’s most advanced fighter. You travel faster than light and take on the mission to infiltrate and destroy the Ecknian facility. The game lets you set the pace and approach the story in your own style.

Arcade and documentary

The game includes a non-VR mode and Steam Achievements. It also includes Passion at All Costs, a documentary about the VR industry and Starship Commander’s development from its inception in 2015 to its Steam release in 2020.
