Into the Stars for PC is a space survival simulation set in an open-world. The game is developed by the debuting Fugitive Games studio composed of four experienced creators who have worked on such series as Battlefield, Medal of Honor, and Lost Planet. The title was finished thanks to a successful Kickstarter campaign.
The action takes place in the distant future in which people are forced to leave the Earth beset by invaders. The last refugees of human race found shelter in a spaceship called Ark 13, in which they travel through the Universe in order to find a new home.
You assume the role of the ship’s captain and your job is to recruit crewmembers, develop units, gather resources, and establish diplomatic relations with alien races. Yet, not all of them are friendly, so be ready for combat. At the beginning of the game you need to make decisions concerning such aspects as choice of additional spaceship modules, the quantity and nature of resources kept in the vessel’s magazine, or the choice of crewmembers that will accompany you during travels. During your journeys through star systems filled with celestial objects and asteroids, you have to closely monitor all of the spaceship’s systems and the condition of the crew and passengers. To scavenge resources you will visit a wide range of dangerous plants and abandoned ships. The game offers trading with other species and fighting the enemies eager to destroy your vessel. For the most part you observe the action from the third-person perspective, but sometimes you take the action to the ship’s bridge, from which you control the spaceship and give orders to the crew.
Mechanics in Into the Stars for PC are inspired by such titles as FTL: Faster Than Light, The Oregon Trail, or Out There. The plot includes many references to the popular SF series Battlestar Galactica. The production features a high level of visuals that bear a slight resemblance to those in Mass Effect series. Jack Wall, who worked on the Mass Effect series as well, composed the soundtrack for Into the Stars.

Game Ratings for Into the Stars Video Game.
Game Revolution: 2.5 / 5 by Paul Tamburro
But these encounters aren’t enough to save what is a very mediocre game. Conceptually, Into The Stars had the potential to be a compelling spin on a formula established by the immeasurably superior FTL, but across the board, it is littered with uninspired and dull design choices. Anything resembling a good time is left up to your lackeys while you remain stuck to your captain’s chair, blindly dishing out orders that lead to unforeseeable conclusions, leaving all the best bits up to your crew members as you watch your unfathomably slow space snail of a ship sail to another boring location.
GameSpot: 6 / 10 by Don Saas
Into the Stars delivers intense Roguelite space strategy, but reveals all of its cards too soon.
Game Rant: 3.5 / 5 by Rob Gordon
Into The Stars offers up a slow-paced but atmospheric space-themed survival sim, combining the gameplay elements of The Oregon Trail and Civilization with roguelike mechanics.
