Spacebase Startopia

Kalypso Media have shared some more details for Spacebase Startopia, along with the list of key features, and some pictures (screenshots + artworks):

A fresh take on a fan-favourite strategy title, Spacebase Startopia invites players to manage a donut-shaped space station populated by a diverse and hilarious cast of alien visitors. By looking after their needs, wants and environment across three distinctive ‘decks’, players will generate energy to expand their station and appease the ever-demanding station AI, VAL.
Spacebase Startopia is a galactic new take on a fan-favourite space base-management game set in…well, space! This vibrant and often absurd universe offers players an exciting blend of city building and base-management, with a flash of RTS skirmishes.

By breathing life back into a true classic, developer Realmforge Studios strikes a careful balance between nostalgia and innovation in its reimagining of the popular strategy game, which revolves around a donut-shaped space station filled to the brim with a colorful cast of aliens managed by their tireless commander (that’s you, human).
In Spacebase Startopia, players will carve out their own little space in the universe, ready to become a galactic utopia – if your management skills are up to the task. With three different game modes and a vast amount of management decisions to be made under the watchful eye of the VAL, the station’s sardonic AI, there’s plenty of in-depth gameplay waiting for new and seasoned players alike. But beware of invading Space Pirates, who will do their best to ruin your carefully laid plans!
Spacebase Startopia offers a constant stream of challenging and addictive objectives to be completed, served up with the distinctive humour and sharp writing that developer Realmforge Studios is known for. Just ask VAL if you don’t believe us! But, uh – ask nicely.

Singleplayer campaign with 10 fully voiced single player missions
Individually configurable sandbox mode
Competitive and a cooperative multiplayer for up to 4 players
Build 30+ rooms across three very different decks to offer everything that the visiting aliens could wish for
Manage a melting pot of different alien races, each with their own individual – and sometimes contradictory – needs and desires
Produce and trade resources to turn a profit, while running sabotage missions against your competitors

Spacebase Startopia (Switch – eShop) comes out in 2021 in Europe and North America.
