Whats that game? - solved

Post by Daehawk »

At least I think its a new game either out or coming soon. Its a space ship game where you explore space and fight ship battles but it also has a ground based overhead view part where its more RPG with your crew.

Ring any bells? I know there are old old games like this but this was something new this year.

Maybe it was Mandate but other than how it plays its not ringing a bell with me.

Nope I have that. After looking more at Mandate I know thats not it either because what Im thinking of has full planet based overhead rpg stuff.

Pulsar: Lost Colony?

Icarus: Starship Command Simulator? (Not sure if there was a ground base part. Was like the above but single player, and I think it's still in Beta or something)

Space Rangers? But it has planet based overhead RTS stuff instead of RPG stuff.

Actually it sounds like one of those Derrick Smart games.

That sounds a lot like Stellar Tactics. We have a thread for it here.

Thats it! I thought there was a thread on it but without remembering the name I couldn't find it. I posted in it how it reminded me of those old games. I used to see the boxes for Mega Traveller and stuff and thats what Ive always wanted...space and ship customization with exploration but combined with taking your crew to ground based missions.

TY! And thanks to all that guessed. Some of those look fun too.

Also the ground based stuff makes me think of Tegels Mercenaries.
