The Fighting Fantasy Classics library continues to expand, with the latest addition being the thrilling sci-fi gamebook, Starship Traveller. Originally penned by Stephen Jackson in 1984, this classic has been expertly adapted by Tin Man Games for modern platforms, available now on Steam, Android, and iOS.
In Starship Traveller, you step into the shoes of a starship captain, lost in the vast expanse of the universe after being unexpectedly drawn through the Seltsian Void. With no clear path back to familiar space, your mission is to explore mysterious alien worlds, engage in diplomatic negotiations with strange civilizations, and navigate through intense deep-space battles. Every choice you make can critically impact your survival, the fate of your crew, and the condition of your ship.
Tin Man Games has utilized their Gamebook Adventures Engine to modernize Starship Traveller, ensuring the essence of the original is preserved while enhancing the overall gameplay. You'll take command of up to seven crew members, dispatching them on perilous missions across unknown planets. The game's integrated tracking system manages your stats, handles ship-to-ship combat, and provides maps, allowing you to immerse yourself fully in the adventure.
For those seeking a more relaxed experience, the Free Read mode offers classic dice rolls with adjustable difficulty settings, perfect for a laid-back adventure. The physics-based, interactive dice rolls add a tangible sense of consequence to your decisions.
