Infinite Space is a science-fiction role-playing game developed by Nude Maker and Platinum Games for the Nintendo DS. It was released in Japan on June 11, 2009 with a pending release in North America and Europe expected in the spring of 2010.
Infinite Space was stated to be based on the novel Childhood's End by Arthur C. Clarke. The plot is divided into two main storylines: One follows the life of a young crewman named Yuri who works to become a spaceship captain, and the other focuses on "very high-level, philosophical science fiction stuff." Through the course of the story, the player will discover humanity's role in the universe.
Infinite Space allows the player to design and control a spaceship. The player can customize the ship with over 150 different design models, along with over 150 possible crewmembers. After designing a ship, the player can explore an expansive game world with a story spanning two galaxies. Characters seen in the game will be displayed in 2D, while ships, exploration, and battles will all be in 3D.
The player navigates the ship using the Nintendo DS touchscreen by first choosing a destination, then engaging the engines to move towards that destination. Spaceship battles occur in real-time, with attacks utilizing a "command gauge" feature. As the command gauge builds up, the player can use it to perform attacks against an enemy ship. The rate at which the command gauge fills depends on the crew of the ship, so a more skilled crew will increase the capabilities of a ship. When the player boards an enemy ship, the player takes control of their character to fight through the ship.
In the game, multiplayer is available for two-player spaceship battles over local Wi-Fi.
