Today Focus Home Interactive has release a new teaser trailer for Space Run which is a mix between strategy and space ship construction in real time – yes this is a Space Ship RTS Builder! The game is borrowing certain mechanics from the tower defense genre with some twists and dynamic gameplay.
Space Run is a nod to ’80s science fiction and pays homage to many of its tropes and references. We like the sound of that! The game is being developed by a single person, Sylvain Passot, who after many years at a game studio in France decided to make something of his own. The game will be ad GDC in San Francisco later this year.
The year is 2525. You are captain Buck Mann, the most fearless, daredevil and the most broke of all the pilots in the galaxy! Your new job: you are a Space Runner, one of the space haulage contractors whose job is to transport valuable cargo from one end of the galaxy to the other… and one thing’s for sure: it’s going to be a bumpy ride. Not only do the cosmic highways regularly pass through asteroid belts of all sizes, but they are also used by dangerous and unscrupulous pirates armed to the teeth, whose fighters and battle cruisers will make short work of your transport vessel if you’re totally unprepared. And finally, you will also encounter other galactic “drivers” with whom you are fiercely competitive, so take this opportunity to give them a friendly blast from your turbo lasers when you overtake them!
Check out the teaser below. Space Run will release for around 10 bucks sometime in May.
