SpaceForce Captains

Written by Jim Rossignol on February 4, 2008 at 8:43 am.

The Croatian space strategy is out this week, based on the Elite-styled open-ended space game, SpaceForce: Rogue Universe. I remember SpaceForce being visually pleasing but rather broken on its release in 2007, so I hope the same is only half true of its strategic spin-off. SpaceForce Captains allows you to construct a funky looking space station and employ up to 120 different space captains in your quest for a power. It’s like playing the original game from the perspective of one of the mission-vendors, or something.

We always have time for strategic base-building, especially when it has laser fences.

Still, if you buy a space game this week, turn-based or otherwise, I’m betting it’ll be this one.

It’s apparently a bit buggy. But seems interesting nevertheless – it’s not a typical 4X-game, more like Heroes (oMM) in Space.

Well, I tried it (European release was , it’s so buggy that it feels like it’s in alpha stage instead of the usual beta that most games are upon release these days…

I like the concept, and the 10minutes that I could actually play the game before it crashed were interesting, but there’s no way I can recommend it until the developers fix the game
