    Spacebase Startopia is a next-generation reboot of an amazing, 20-years old sci-fi strategy game, with the same approach to gameplay but a fairly renewed graphics style, perfectly fitting the funny dark humour that pervades our star bases. It’s incredible how Spacebase Startopia manages to look modern even today: further proof that good ideas never get old.

    I feel it is perfect for newcomers to the genre presenting a fun and cartoony experience that doesn’t take itself too seriously.

    A good management game, empowered by a very unique comedic sci-fi setting. Campaign isn't the greatest and a little bit more content would have been great, but all in all a nice return for the classic 2001 Startopia.

    Twenty years ago I was enamored with Startopia’s humorous approach to a space business simulation. Spacebase Startopia does the same but worse. While back then I didn’t mind Startopia’s low level of complexity, because its 3D graphics and humor made up for that, today I was disappointed with the fact that the campaign poses no challenge at all and the whole thing feels shallow. It’s more of a replacement rather than a worthy successor to the classic. [06/2021, p.56]

    Spacebase Startopia is a good strategy game with a lot of options and funny multiplayer modes. Its action can be stressing sometimes, but the Startopia sequel is a great option for lovers of strategy games.

    Spacebase Startopia isn't here to rock your world. It's here to gently wrap a friendly arm around you. It's a game that does exactly what it needs to do, and does it well. I can take off my rose tinted glasses and offer it an assured Han Solo-style salute.

    The most awful UI i ever had the misfortune to deal with. Stupidly thrown in purple privileges, a tutorial that is there and still kindaThe most awful UI i ever had the misfortune to deal with. Stupidly thrown in purple privileges, a tutorial that is there and still kinda nonexistent. this game is time wasted for everybody involved from the developers to the gamers themselves. Games like this just bloat the market so you won't find good games anymore and are the ones to blame that you are just happy that you found a somewhat enjoyable game.… Full Review »
