Play it if you…
Good fit- Space RPG players who want several activities beyond the main storyline
- Players who want to choose sides or build an independent force in a faction conflict
- Exploration-focused players interested in varied events and locations across new games
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a tightly linear campaign may find the range of open-ended activities diffuse.
- Players who want the same events and locations in every playthrough may not prefer randomly generated content.
- Players looking for a compact space setting may find a universe spanning over 100 solar systems and over 400 planets too broad.
Our take on SpaceBourne
Most content outside the main storyline is generated when a new game begins, so events and locations can change between playthroughs.
What is SpaceBourne?
SpaceBourne is an open-world space simulation and RPG set among factions at war.
Pilots can choose a faction, remain independent, or build a force of their own. Activities include asteroid mining, salvaging wrecks, bounty hunting, piracy, trading, side missions, and exploring uncharted systems and space anomalies. The game includes over 100 solar systems, over 400 planets, and 37 landable space stations. Ships can be acquired and modified, and weapons can be created; Early Access 1. 5.
1 lists 322 weapons. Character progression uses leveling, passive traits, and active traits selected by the player. Apart from the main storyline, new games generate content randomly, so events and locations can vary between playthroughs.
