Startopia Preview - preview/review
(hx) 02:18 AM CEST - Apr,12 2001 - Post a comment

EuroGamer has posted a new preview of Startopia, the space station management sim / strategy game from Bullfrog escapees Mucky Foot. With their second title however they are returning to more familiar turf with a very Bullfrog-styled game called Startopia. The premise is simple : you run a space station (or part of one at least) where your goal is to attract as many aliens as possible by providing the accommodation and services which they require. It has the building and management of the classic Theme games, along with the confrontation and creature development of Dungeon Keeper, all wrapped in a fresh new approach. The idea that you have to keep an eye on the happiness of neutral creatures in addition to managing your own staff and army also opens up a lot of interesting scenarios. Like all of us, visitors to your station have certain biological needs that must be met for them to survive. That means that they need to eat, sleep and defecate in order to live. Not taking these needs into account can set the scene for mucky feet and hostile encounters. Sleep, for example, can be had in anything from berths (which are little more than sealed bed compartments, similar to the infamous Japanese hotels) to luxurious hotels. While some visitors won't mind sleeping in plastic coffins, others will expect a little more if you want them to stick around. [more]
