UK publisher Curve Digital and Brighton-based independent studio Runner Duck have announced Space Crew; the latest installment in the Crew series and sequel to Bomber Crew.
In this anticipated sequel, players are tasked with defending Earth against a mysterious new alien menace by carefully recruiting crew members, designing their own spaceship and venturing across the cosmos.
Space Crew will feature the same compelling gameplay as its predecessor with players controlling the actions of their crew moment-to-moment in the minutiae of navigation, scanning and combat as they are vulnerable from alien boardings, getting sucked out into space, running out of oxygen, system failures; just to name a few obstacles players will encounter. The new space setting allows for more player freedom and campaign unpredictability with greater mission variety and deeper strategic gameplay.
Here’s what Runner Duck co-founder Dave Wingrove had to say about this announcement:
“We at Runner Duck have always been huge fans of sci-fi movies like Alien, Star Trek, Interstellar, and Star Wars. We had so much fun crafting Bomber Crew, we just couldn’t wait to explore all the possibilities a far-future setting would offer. Recruiting your crew for typical space sci-fi positions and then sending them out on missions into the perilous depths of space is an ideal theme for the ‘Crew’ series.”
