Flatspace
SteamFlatspace is a top-down space trading game with the emphasis on free exploration. You become captain of a spaceship in a living simulation of a distant future galaxy. As a space pilot, you decide how to earn a living. Trade cargo or become a bounty hunter and track down the most wanted criminals in the galaxy, or even become a space pirate yourself. Command your crew, buy new and better ships and equipment. Upgrade, prosper and explore. This is no game, Flatspace is an artificial life to live.
Flatspace draws on many game and science fiction influences including classic space-trading games like Elite, and Roguelike games, such as Nethack; to create an experience as exciting as any dogfight but with a realistic tactical edge to every aspect of the simulation. A large array of options and random elements make every game individual and unique.
This, the first Flatspace game was originally developed in 2004 and is now remastered here for new computers. The game has two sequels; Flatspace II and Flatspace IIk.
