We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Survival game players who want environmental hazards to affect shelter construction
- Builders who prefer creating interconnected machinery and power systems
- Science-fiction players interested in exploring an abandoned space station and its history
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a tightly directed campaign rather than open-ended construction and survival
- Players who prefer simple survival systems without radiation, temperature management and hostile inhabitants
- Players wanting a finished feature set rather than an early-access game with incomplete or changing elements
Our take on Lamplight Station
The defining detail is the station-wide engineering challenge: survival depends on designing linked machines, shelters and distribution systems for heat, power and water while coping with environmental exposure.
What is Lamplight Station?
Lamplight Station is a survival game set aboard a large abandoned space station.
Players build, craft and fight while dealing with radiation, cold, heat and hostile inhabitants. Construction includes interconnected machines and assembly lines for supplying power, heat, water and advanced technology. Shelter design considers temperature, wind chill, radiant heat and insulation, while machines and networks can carry heat and power through the station. Craftable technology includes tools, weapons, cybernetics and body modifications based on theoretically possible technology. The station can be reshaped into natural or mechanical environments. Exploration reveals more about its purpose and the lives of former and current inhabitants. The game is in early access, with some features still under development or incomplete.
