The spiritual successor to Freelancer with a Lovecraftian, sandbox space RPG twist.
[Boston, MA USA / Apr 10, 2024] - Developer Pastaspace Interactive,
a solo dev infamously known as Trainwiz in the Starfield and Skyrim
modding community for his Thomas the Tank Engine mods that convert ships and dragons – and publisher Camlann Games are thrilled to announce the Early Access launch of their first title Underspace.
Featured in GamingBolt’s “15 Big Games Launching in April 2024”
roundup, Underspace is inspired by classic games such as Freelancer.
It’s an open-world space RPG where every star system is crafted by hand
and every sector has something to discover. It’s a truly open-world
experience with no fast travel. Players accelerate their journeys by use
of station-to-station lanelines, three-tiered engine thrust for local
travel and jumpgates for interstellar travel.
The game follows the tragic tale of Kardoz, a disgraced noble stripped
of his wealth and power now eking out a living as a starchaser. In a
galaxy rife with plundering pirates, crazy cultists, sudden storms, and
cosmic monsters that just normally don’t belong in space. Starchasing
is a dangerous career where the risks are great but the rewards are even
greater.
Features:
- Play Your Way: Choose from a variety of
roles to tell your own story. From mercenary to miner, courier to
pirate, scrapper to starchaser. Professions and ways to make coin are
diverse and numerous
- Truly Open World: Traverse 110+ handcrafted star systems, in a seamless, natural space exploration experience
- Lovecraftian Cosmic Horrors: Face off
against world-eating serpents, possessed battleships, and living
minefields. 35+ unique bosses stand in your way to untold riches and
glory
- Dynamic Dogfighting: Rip through enemy
formations and give ‘em hell. Combat is manual and skill-based; speed
and aggression are emphasized and rewarded. Dodge and weave through
enemy fire while claiming kills of your own. Combat is fast with a huge
variety of weaponry and ship mods to both outgun and outsmart your
opponents
- Your Ship, Your Character, Your Choice:
Fly, paint, and customize 60+ different ships. Outfit your build with
500+ pieces of ship equipment. Level up your character the way you want
with a deep skill tree. Unleash your own brand of peace or mayhem on the
galaxy in true sandbox fashion
- Every Star A Story: 40+ different factions
to meet, all with their own alliances, goals, cultures, and
preferences. Pursue the main quest or discover hidden stories and
questionable motives in 45+ unique sidequests
