Is Captain Forever Trilogy worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Action-strategy players who want to construct ships during combat
- Players interested in physics-based vehicle design rather than fixed aircraft
- Fans of space combat who want three related games in one package
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players who want a separate, detailed ship editor before entering combat may hit a wall with the in-flight construction system.
- Players seeking a stable, repeatable ship design may find physically simulated flight and combat require continual rebuilding.
- Players looking for character leveling, loot, or tower-defense structures may not find those systems here.
- Players who prefer ground-based combat may not fit a game centered on flying spacecraft.
Our take on Captain Forever Trilogy
Players who need to plan a complete vessel before launching may bounce off the central construction loop: ships are assembled during flight by taking parts from destroyed enemies. The physical simulation then makes those choices affect movement and combat, adding another hurdle for anyone seeking a fixed loadout.
What is Captain Forever Trilogy?
Captain Forever Trilogy combines three games: Captain Forever, Captain Successor, and Captain Impostor.
Each centers on building a spaceship while flying it. After destroying an enemy vessel, players can take one of its parts with the mouse and attach it to their own craft. The game physically simulates ships, so construction choices affect flight behavior and combat capability. Successor adds modules and ship types, while Impostor lets players clone any of the game's large ships instantly. The trilogy also includes a new renderer, wing-shaped modules, added audio, and rewritten or expanded text by novelist Cassandra Khaw. The package presents the three games within a shared Captain Forever setting.
