Our take on Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector
Players who want direct control over every outcome may hit a wall when a contract turns on dice rolls. The pressure system adds another constraint: stress, dice damage, and glitches can complicate a run, while using a Push ability can also lead to a dangerous spiral.
What is Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector?
Citizen Sleeper 2 is a role-playing game where dice influence play across the habitats of the Starward Belt.
Players control an escaped android housed in an artificial body while evading the corporation that created it and a criminal gang. Play involves selecting a class, configuring skills, recruiting crew, improving a ship, and accepting contracts. Assignments include exploring derelicts, carrying out heists, surveying asteroids, and repairing ships. Skill checks, dice rolls, and class-linked Push abilities affect available choices and results. Stress, damaged dice, and accumulating system faults create further complications. The game features branching narratives, crew members with individual skills and personal problems, and a belt-wide structure where players choose which places, jobs, and stories to follow.
