Relic Space - Open-world space game with realistic physics during combat 2021
1Taking place in the year 2612, Relic Space features more than 30 distinct regions that players can explore by customising and upgrading their very own ships. Beyond grid-based, tactical turn-based combat familiar to rogue like fans, Relic Space also features a well-grounded narrative filled with multi-part missions and their accompanying narrative arcs, realistic damage (think BattleTech) and physics in space – along with status effects for individual items. Each weapon, engine or utility item can catch fire, leak power, and generally be buffed and de-buffed. Equipment items also affect the ship in unique ways – including manual adjustments for heat and energy levels!
In the Relic Space backstory, the galaxy as we know it lies in ruins after a world-ending event known as the Fall. Players take on the role of the legendary Omega – the elite pilot wing of a community of survivors known as the Order. The only way to rebuild civilisation is to acquire and research “relics” of the advanced technological past – now scattered among the broken remains of planets and structures that make up the Relic Belts.
Leaning toward hardcore sci-fi, Relic Space doesn’t feature aliens – only post humans and AI. Furthermore, the writing – and indeed the overall concept of recovering historical relics to help rebuild civilisation – raises serious questions: Can a technological civilisation in crisis learn from its past? What values might space-faring post humans carry with them?
