There is some degree of choice as to which you select but this is limited each ingame day and often you end up just taking what you can get.
You harvest humans from a range of possible characters with their own strengths and weaknesses.
#STARMANCER TIPS HOW TO#
There is a solid tutorial section that briefly introduces you to the main systems and takes you through to unlocking your warp drive but from there on you’re on your own.įollowing the relatively easy-going tutorial, things heat up pretty fast – literally in one of my attempted playthroughs as the whole station set on fire and I couldn’t work out how to put it out (the answer is to vent the oxygen out of the room affected apparently).
Clearly taking influence from the classic FTL the real narrative here comes from the emergent storytelling of the various randomised interactions and character types. That’s pretty much it for story but that’s all you really need. You are the AI of a stranded space station that must try to reconnect with your fleet. Starmancer is mercifully short of overblown narrative or plot. Available now in Early Access on Steam and Gamepass for PC, I’ve spent some time getting to grips with the ghost in the machine and it’s shaping up to be an interesting title, although there’s still some work for the 2 person development team to do. Unlike most gaming takes on this idea, Starmancer lets you play as the AI – giving you free rein to manipulate and control the expendable meatbags under your command. From the classic Hal 9000 in 2001: A Space Odyssey to GLADOS in Valve’s Portal games, our fear of being controlled by intelligent machines still remains. Sinister AIs have been a mainstay in science fiction media for a long while now.
