Our take on Spacer: Legacies
The store emphasis falls on vengeance, exploration, and the fate of an entire cluster, but the concrete systems center on turn-based ship combat, equipment, sensors, and captain abilities. The campaign framing is broad; the operational detail is concentrated in fleet battles and progression.
What is Spacer: Legacies?
Lead a mercenary force through turn-based battles between capital ships, from small corvettes to large battleships.
Begin with a single vessel after a betrayal, then expand the flotilla while pursuing justice across the Tantalus Cluster. Recruit captains, assign their abilities, and equip ships with weapons and augments through multiple upgrade slots. Combat includes a sensor system for locating enemies before they detect the fleet, along with varied weapons and other combat systems. The campaign combines a central story with companion progression, hidden missions, and side quests. Battles include action sequences, while exploration covers a large space setting with hazards and opportunities encountered during the campaign.
