Developers makingspace gameshave a habit of trying to makeeverygame, all at once. So it seems with Introversion’s The Last Starship, which in its latest update video looks to be about shipbuilding, crew management, engineering, exploration, real-time combat and much more. More impressively, they all look like games I want to play.

To summarise, The Last Starship is a bit likePrison Architect, if your prison could fly through space, had guns on the side of it, and could take on dangerous interstellar missions.
After that, there’s a second mission which offers a deep look at the game’s combat systems. While making changes onboard your ship requires your crew to scurry around, dismantling and moving and building, you can also directly control your ship thrusters in real-time. Combat therefore has a naval quality, as you try to keep enemies exposed to the correct weapons on your side, and your crew work to keep those weapons fed with scifi cannonballs.
The Last Starship isn’t out yet, but next Monday, July 11th, Introversion are going to let in the first batch of testers. For a chance to be involved with a future test build, you cansign up on Steam. Be warned that it’ll be buggy, however, so you might want to wait for the (at least somewhat less buggy) early access version, whenever that arrives.
