Wirström’s sprite work, reminiscent of classics like Landstalker or Final Fantasy Tactics, not only helps immerse the player in the game’s futuristic setting, but also sells the idea that you’re taking care of a real colony of individual humans, each with their own skills and personalities. When all your colonists die, you can send out robots to clean up your mess (dead bodies, blood, etc) and then regrow everyone – like nothing ever happened.” Pixels in spaceĬompared to the somewhat austere-looking Dwarf Fortress, with its text-based visuals, Starmancer is also a much more approachable game from a visual standpoint, thanks to the sterling isometric artwork by Victor Wirström.

If things really get out of hand, you could end up having to deal with a full-on mutiny. ex.You’ll need to keep a close eye on your colonists’ morale, too: if a colonist is unhappy about their living conditions, they might spread that dissatisfaction to other humans.
