About This Game


In Starship Rubicon, Earth has been casually destroyed by a mysterious race of space-faring invertebrates. You are a fighter pilot whose cryopod has been collected by a possibly-insane AI, who has placed you in the unenviable position of being humanity’s savior. Shanghaied and alone, you must gather the remaining human survivors and traverse the surprising biodiversity of deep space to find a new home.

Key Features

  • Quick Gameplay - Pilot your ship in fast-paced shoot-em-up, featuring a unique approach to arcade physics and controls.
  • Customize Your Ship - Upgrade your ship with a Tetris-styled hangar bay as you find weapons and items on your quest.
  • Randomized Universe - Make your way through a diverse galaxy as you encounter interesting new lifeforms. Each play session generates a new path of enemies, allies, and items.
  • Casual Roguelike - When your ship blows up, that's the end of the line for that game. However, if you collect enough crystal shards by the end of a sector you can save your ship to re-launch it on another level.
  • A Fleet Of Ships To Play - Do you prefer fast ships for run and gun? Do you like something that takes a punch but isn't as agile? Start the game with 3 different ships and spend shards to unlock more ships with unique abilities!
  • Mod-friendly - Since ships and weapons are exposed in simple external .lua scripts, modding and creating your own content only requires a text editor!

I played this game during my last semester when i was writing essays and i gotta say that this game
was really good to help me focus and relieve some stress. I would not say it is among my favorite games
but for its price it is well worth getting and if you are like me who handles stress with playing games this
will probably be a perfect fit. Every game is quite short and the purpose is very clear, there is not really much
storytelling (which i think is good) but is focuses on being a pure space shooter which is does really well.
Overall worth getting and quite entertaining.. Clearly inspired by the best elements of the genre (arcade gaming, FTL, Starfox) with tons of nice throwbacks. Exciting gameplay with an adventurous streak is enhanced by some seriously delightful sci-fi music and sound design.

Starship Rubicon also features surprisingly creative writing, a fun equipment allocation system (symmetry rules!) and even more customization. Memorable and easy to get into, the game is a good introduction to the indie scene. Easily one of my favorites.. It's a cute, entertaining Asteroids-style Newtonian space shooter with some Roguelike elements, a bit of humor, a nice spacey and retro vibe, and an easy to understand but actually rather interesting ship customization system.

And, thankfully, no sideways thrusters, which are just silly in games like this.. Fun little game with some depth and customization if you like games like Asteroids.

It has an FTL feel with the campaign but does not present the player with enough weapons and upgrades before the end to make it feel like you have improved your ship. However, there is ship customization that you can start the game in your fully customized ship as you please but that removes any meaningful progression during that run.

Great game to get on sale. It's a cute, entertaining Asteroids-style Newtonian space shooter with some Roguelike elements, a bit of humor, a nice spacey and retro vibe, and an easy to understand but actually rather interesting ship customization system.

And, thankfully, no sideways thrusters, which are just silly in games like this.. An excellent game, the dev clearly put a lot of time and effort into it, and it shows.

Pros:
* Good starting loadout variety. My personal favourite is the Pakiceph.
* Good enemy type variety. There are varieties that teleport, swarm, form laser networks, and much more.
* Good equipment variety. All sorts of weapons, abilities, and upgrades are available.
* Interesting tetris-esque outfitting system.
* Variety of level types.
* Amusing dialogue.

Cons:
* The plot is thin, and somewhat cliche

I've been playing this on Windows 10 for a while with no issues, so it seems the issues the author mentioned do not occur on all Windows 10 machines.. Controls feel great. Quite fun.. More thorough reviews already exist. I'll just laud a couple of things:
