Is Search of Galaxy worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Space exploration players who want to search nearby territories for survivors and artifacts
- Resource-gathering players who want asteroid extraction tied to construction
- Science-fiction builders interested in developing ships and producing base components
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players looking for a clearly detailed progression system may hit a wall because the description does not explain how research or technology development works.
- Players who want a defined campaign endpoint may find the stated loop open-ended, with exploration, rebuilding, and survival but no described final objective.
- Players seeking a story focused on characters or dialogue may find little to follow beyond the survivor and civilization-rebuilding premise.
Our take on Search of Galaxy
Players who need a clear progression path may bounce when they reach the research and construction systems: the description names laboratories, plants, and ship development, but gives no detail on how these systems advance or connect.
What is Search of Galaxy?
After a supernova destroys most of the Thermian colonies, a survivor searches the home system for a place where the remaining people can live.
The game combines ship flight and exploration with resource gathering from asteroids. Players build base modules, develop a ship and can construct additional ships. Laboratories research technologies, while production plants make modules and components for other plants. Exploration includes searching nearby territories for survivors, lost knowledge and artifacts. The stated activities center on restoring civilization and surviving in space after the loss of the race’s past knowledge and technology. The game’s description says it will be developed further, with more details added later.
