Is Space Impossible worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Space sandbox players who want exploration alongside combat and trading
- Players who enjoy building and modifying ships tile by tile
- Players seeking multiplayer space play over LAN or the Internet
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a tightly scripted campaign may bounce off the procedurally generated sandbox structure.
- Players looking for simple arcade combat may hit a wall at tile-based damage, ship customization, trading, and manufacturing.
- Players interested only in single-player play may have no use for the multiplayer modes.
Our take on Space Impossible
The likely bounce point is the tile system: combat involves destructible and changeable ship parts rather than only weapon selection. Players who do not want construction, upgrades, trading, and manufacturing may lose interest when these systems become part of their spacefaring options.
What is Space Impossible?
Space Impossible is a space sandbox where players pilot fully destructible ships through procedurally generated star systems.
Objects are built from tiles that can be destroyed, created, or changed, making ship design and combat tactical. Players can explore unknown systems, fight hostile aliens and space navies, attack trade routes as pirates, trade goods at posts, or work for the military. Ship customization includes adding engines and applying new paint colors. Manufacturing uses gathered materials and specialty labs to create ships and components or upgrade existing ones. Multiple factions have a dozen or more starships each. Single-player and multiplayer modes support LAN or Internet play, with versions for Windows, Mac, and Linux.
