Embark on an epic journey as a starship captain lost in the vast reaches of the universe with the latest addition to the Fighting Fantasy Classics library: Starship Traveller. This classic sci-fi gamebook, originally penned by Stephen Jackson in 1984, has been masterfully adapted by Tin Man Games for modern platforms. Now available on Steam, Android, and iOS, you can dive right into the heart of an intergalactic adventure.
In Starship Traveller, you find yourself stranded in an unknown sector of space after a harrowing passage through the Seltsian Void. With no clear path back to familiar territory, you must navigate through alien worlds, engage in diplomatic negotiations with strange civilizations, and battle your way through intense space combat. Every choice you make will impact your crew's survival, the condition of your ship, and ultimately, your chances of finding a way home.
Tin Man Games has utilized its Gamebook Adventures Engine to modernize Starship Traveller, ensuring a seamless yet faithful adaptation of the original. You'll be in command of up to seven crew members, dispatching them on perilous missions to uncharted planets. The game's integrated tracking system simplifies the management of stats, ship-to-ship combat, and maps, allowing you to immerse yourself fully in the adventure.
For those seeking a more relaxed experience, the Free Read mode offers a gentler pace. With traditional dice rolls and customizable difficulty settings, it's designed for players who prefer a laid-back adventure. The physics-based, interactive dice rolls add an engaging layer, making every decision feel tangible and impactful.
