In my quest to find awesome games that aren’t well known, I came across StarSector a couple of weeks ago and I can’t put it down. It is the same addition that I had with Factorio and Balatro in recent times.
However, when I started looking into it, I had already heard about it back in 2013/2014 under the name of Starferer and it was great to see that it was still being worked on.
What an amazing game/project as I’m sure many of you might agree. The lore, the gameplay and the atmosphere is great.
But I have to admit, digging my teeth into the mods for QoL and trying to get Java23 to game the game to work was as fun as the game.
My questions to you are:
- How did you come across StarSector
- A favourite moment while playing
- What other games that you have played/heard come close to this?
Nebulous has a conquest mode that is in testing at the moment that sounds extremely promising. The base gameplay is so good the game doesn’t need much, just a bit of progression between battles and choices to make about who to fight next.
Transcendence is a classic, the dev is still working on the game and the first early version came out in 1995 so rest assured if the game peaks your interest there is a lottttt to sink your teeth into there!
