You can customize your ship as much as you want with the look and livery, as well as adding modules that actually might impact the gameplay. Even the spaceships are kind of adorable, with a bit of a 50’s retro feel to them without seemingly truly kitsch. When gravity on the ship is low, they float and fumble around too, adding to the cute appearance and feel. The graphics are once again cute, with near bobble-headed characters who bumble around the ship in an endearing way. Still, there’s plenty to like about Space Crew. The controls may have benefited from a simple order menu with an option to “get medikit” or “get phase rifle” rather than having to roll your pointer over the item you want your brave member to get hold of. Some of the icons on the ship are also very small, with the fire extinguishers easily visible but the space-suits and medikits looking fairly similar. Time slows but doesn’t pause when you’re navigating menus or issuing orders, and it takes time to get used to the orders. They aren’t the most complex of instructions but they lack the intuitiveness of your normal RTS selection and movement methods of left click to select and right click to order.Ĭrew are also deselected fairly easily and there are times when you’ll accidentally release control of someone and need to quickly roll through your crew to get hold of them again. If you’re using a controller, then you’ll need to master holding down one button and moving the D-Pad to choose a crew member, and then holding a shoulder button to tell them where to go. Of course, there’s nothing to stop you plugging your mouse into your Xbox and giving it a go that way. As well as Phasmids space offers lots of other problems, with asteroids a common one, but there are plenty of other “natural hazards” to run into in space.Ĭontrolling your crew with the gamepad takes some getting used to and Space Crew’s strategy origins do show, as it would be much easier to control with a mouse. Your security officer excels at this task but they may well be busy shooting at other alien ships. As mentioned, they can and will board your ship and you’ll need to divert one or more crew armed with phase-rifles to see them off. As for the enemy, the Phasmids attack with nippy fighters at first, before arriving with bigger and tougher ships.
