Sample reviews
"I recommend the game with all my heart :D"
"I know this game from the time when it was available for free download outside of Steam. I have probably 100 hours clocked in this game from the pre-steam days. Now, with the career mode the game becomes even more interesting. I hope the developer will not neglect the single mode."
"Imagine Starsector and Starbase had a child.
This is the kid."
"This game is a fantastic example of what kind of games can be created by enthusiasts.
All the mechanics work together. The graphics are pleasing to the eye (especially the flames coming out of the engines and other visual effects).
The mechanics may look rather simple, but you can see that they are well thought out and the developers knew exactly what kind of game they wanted to create - there is no overkill or unnecessary features - resulting in.... simply joyful and enjoyable gameplay.
Also noteworthy is the very well-thought-out UI and the huge number of options for customizing the game to the player's preferences.
The shipbuilding mechanics are very clear and easy to learn.
Overall, if you don't expect miracles, but only simple fun, I wholeheartedly recommend buying this game and supporting this developer."
Cosmoteer: Starship Architect & Commander is available exclusively on PC. The game was released as part of Steam Early Access and can currently be purchased 10% off to celebrate the release. The offer will expire today.
