    It is the Year of Our Lord 2754

    You will never feel the sun's warmth under a blue sky, never hear the wind in the branches of a tree, and never swim in the ocean, all because you had the misfortune to be born on the Ship, chained to a fate you didn't choose. You have never seen Earth and you'll never see Proxima Centauri either. You're doomed to live and die on the Ship in the name of the Mission, like your father before you, like his father before him.

    Colony Ship is an isometric, party-based RPG inspired by Heinlein's Orphans of the Sky. The Ship's original government has been disbanded following a violent mutiny and you must negotiate a treacherous path among your fellow passengers and the contentious factions striving to dominate the Ship.

    Your choices alone will determine who your friends and enemies are.

    Colony Ship is a true spiritual successor to The Age of Decadence.

    Colony Ship has flaws and is definitely not what I would call the most accessible RPG ever made. Still, suppose you have experience with the genre and like good tactical turn-based combats and plenty of exciting choices in a fascinating setting. In that case, this is definitely a game worth considering.

    Still in EA, but a very solid game. Combat is tight and the story and atmosphere suck you right in. Exploration leaves something to be desiredStill in EA, but a very solid game. Combat is tight and the story and atmosphere suck you right in. Exploration leaves something to be desired but is fitting for a cramped ship. Expand

    Sadly, no. The verticality does not mesh well with the isometric perspective, and the motion blur while panning make exploration tedious. TheSadly, no. The verticality does not mesh well with the isometric perspective, and the motion blur while panning make exploration tedious. The brutal combat is unenjoyable too. I was very excited for this title, but I would rather recommend their previous Age of Decadence, despite its awful graphics. Expand
