Subverse.

And Space Cats Tactics.

Spacewrecked: 14 Billion Light Years From Earth is a mediocre first person dungeon crawler set on a spaceship.

The European title for this game is "Federation Quest 1 - B.S.S. Jane Seymour", FYI.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

Honestly have trouble telling what's going on here so I can't tell if it's post-apoc or not. Hired Guns for the Amiga(and DOS, but DOS port is lower quality), 1993


I'm pretty sure it's an RPG anyways. It seems very schizo.

Recent Amiga dungeon crawler sci-fi RPG release

https://timeslip1974.itch.io/black-dawn-rebirth-deluxe-edition

I was unaware that this is part of a series(Dawn) and is the ...seventh? entry in about 30 years. Unsure if it is by the same developer.

Black Dawn
Black Dawn II
Legions of Dawn
Thunderdawn

Then some from developers under a different name?

Different people. Campbell started the series, Watters (Timeslip) took over later with his permission.

To quote from DRPG discord...

Andy did 1st 3 and then thunderdawn - we became mates after I got in contact with him after playing bd2 and then when became disk pen pals (pre internet!) he let me take over the series from there but he came back for one more with thunderdawn

That clears up why there's games releasing under different developers near the same time period then, thanks.

Deus Ex ,System Shock2 ,Dragonfall, kotor and kotor2. But for scifi , i feel simulation games are the best story tellers than rpgs

New Centurions looks pretty good. Based on Realmz.

[rusty_shackleford]

Forgot to mention Omega Syndrome, a 50s B-movie sci-fi game

 

[Bastardchops]

Space Wreck is looking good.

 

[Zombra]

Space Wreck is looking good.

The first four words are literally "Decades after the apocalypse ..."
But this does look good

 

[Viata]

This thread shows that modern rpg devs sucks. Most of those games are from the 80s~90s.

Does anyone know if the registration keys for this game were released like Realmz? I am unable to find information about it

 

[Mauman]

So....Geneforge?

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

I like the intro scream to this game:


I had these two on amiga.

Sometimes I forget how popular diablo-clones were

The overwhelmingly majority of scifi rpgs seem to be post-apocalyptic, cyberpunk, alternate history, or a mix thereof. There are very few set in extraterrestrial environments. The only ones I can name off the top of my head are Mass Effect and Outer Worlds. (OW is iffy because it’s also alternate history.)

I’m surprised there aren’t more. You could make a regular cyberpunk game and say it’s set on an extrasolar planet. That’s how relatively easy it would be.

There's Star Crawlers at least.

Which is more or less exactly what you just said.

OMG, it actually calls itself “spacepunk.” Is that even an established genre at this point? I would like it to be, because I really don’t like “space opera”. Sorry not sorry.

There's an ongoing Kickstarter for a game calling itself "Mesopunk". Though at least the developer is Mexican.

I meant, is “spacepunk” specifically a genre?

According to Charles Stross: “It's the subgenre that that bears the same relation to Space Opera that Sword & Sorcery bears to Heroic Fantasy.” But it doesn’t seem to be standardized according to the internet.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

"Spacepunk" sounds as stupid as other "x-punk" genres.
Misread it as "spacejunk" first and that sounds a lot more fitting for the space genre of things falling apart and being held together with paperclips, exploring old derelicts, etc.,

I enjoyed StarCrawlers btw, but the sequel doesn't look too good.
