About The Last Starship
The Last Starship is the latest video game from acclaimed indie developer and creator of Prison Architect, Introversion Software. Players start with an empty starship hull and fit her out with propulsion, life-support, weapons and a faster-than-light drive, before blasting off into the galaxy to test their designs against a range of procedurally generated missions. Build a massive asteroid mining operation; rescue civilians from a transport with a critical engine failure, or build an armada and pick a fight with the pirates who plague the galaxy!
Build your starship: Build the vessel of your dreams or recreate legendary ships from classic sci-fi fiction – players can now upload and share their creations via Steam Workshop.
Engage the enemy: Is your ship a dreadnought of armour and firepower, or a nimble stealth vessel? Hit and run, or hit hard and hit again? Choose your weapons and refine your tactics to survive conflict in deep space.
Discover new stories: A procedurally generated map is ripe for discovery – missions, anomalies, and an array of characters with their own needs and stories are waiting to be uncovered.
Manage your resources: You’ll need oxygen, water, and fuel to survive. But beyond the basics, your control of drones and mining equipment – your organisation of crucial operations – will be key to thriving in the vast darkness of space.
The Last Starship is now available to buy on Steam, Humble Store and GOG. As an early access title, regular updates are released containing content drops, bug fixes, and updates based on community feedback. With a close connection to its player base, once bought, Introversion pledges to never charge for any future updates.
