I was jumping into the first mission, because I figured, hey if you play the campaign, the first thing it’ll drop you into is the tutorial. For instance, when I first fired up the game, this was the first screen I saw. Putting the depth of space aside, Spacebase Startopia just feels like it could use a little more polish. Even the industrial level in Spacebase Startopia, particularly with the more aggressive curve, feels cramped. Maybe it’s a difference in the design in how objects are placed or just the field of view in particular, but the original game felt like you were building out massive, warehouse-like bulkheads. There’s something a little claustrophobic about the whole experience.

Franklyn was a perfect pick for the assistant AI in Startopia: he had that classic snark you get from a British professor, someone you know is deeply unimpressed with your work, but they’re professional enough to go along for the ride anyway. And a large part of that was down to the astonishingly good voice over work from William Franklyn, a British actor who voiced most of the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy BBC radio series. It wasn’t necessarily the great sim, but it had a great sense of style. You had a few decks to manage, one for pleasure, one for industry and a “biodeck”, which basically gave you a giant deck to terraform with plants, water and all sorts of life. It wasn’t a commercial success, but it had this brilliant blend of Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy humour blended with what was functionally Theme Hospital in space. Launching today on consoles and tomorrow, Spacebase Startopia is basically a redux of Startopia, a quirky management sim made by a bunch of ex-Bullfrog employees in 2001.
You know those games that have all the right pieces but you know your heart just isn’t into it? That’s the struggle I have with Spacebase Startopia right now.
