Why play it

Colony Ship is a turn-based, party-based role-playing game set aboard a generation ship launched to Proxima Centauri. The game features a detailed skill-based character system, multiple ways to handle quests, choices & consequences, and branching dialogue trees.

Story and worldbuilding

It is the Year of Our Lord 2754… You will never feel the sun’s warmth under a blue sky, never hear the wind in the branches of a tree, and never swim in the ocean, all because you had the misfortune to be born on the Ship, chained to a fate you didn’t choose. You have never seen Earth and you’ll never see Proxima Centauri either. You’re doomed to live and die on the Ship in the name of the Mission, like your father before you, like his father before him. The Ship is old. She had already been twenty years in service when she was rechristened Starfarer - a pretty name for a retrofitted interplanetary freighter. No one is certain the Ship will actually reach its destination, and nobody much cares, since no one alive now will live to see it. Might as well get on with your life and try to make the best of it.

Colony Ship has flaws and is definitely not what I would call the most accessible RPG ever made. Still, suppose you have experience with the genre and like good tactical turn-based combats and plenty of exciting choices in a fascinating setting. In that case, this is definitely a game worth considering.

Colony Ship: A Post-Earth Role Playing Game is already at this stage a very good game that makes you think and rethink your every move. The game features a very elaborate character system, many items and a game world set on an interplanetary ship. Difficult battles and tactical AI additionally ensure that you feel good about every win, at least until you look at the loot or go for the reward for completing a task, when you're more likely to pull a sad face. Your actions have consequences and a tarnished reputation is hard to repair. If you work for one faction, the other factions will react strongly to it. The game still has a long way to go, but it is already a hilarious RPG at this stage.
