A space station has been swallowed by a black hole, mutants roaming the corridors, and everything seems to have gone mad around you. Be sneaky or blast your way through the station and find a way home, all in a disco-punk atmosphere, as if you were the hero of a 70s B-movie that never existed...
RetroSpace is a love letter to some immersive sims from the 90s and 2000s.
Retrospace is a mixed bag. On one hand you have a promising immersive sim, on the other, a less than stellar shooter with dubious AI and stealth mechanics. Paired with its thematic superficiality and predictable story, it’s one for only the most hardcore fans of the genre.
A worthy imitator of the genre classics, reproducing the ideas of System Shock, Thief and Deus Ex, but in a unique setting of ironic science fiction and disco punk.
RetroSpace ultimately feels like a game made by people who understand what makes immersive sims appealing, even if they have not completely polished every part of the formula. Its strongest moments come when you are left alone to figure something out, while its weakest moments happen when the interface or movement gets between you and that freedom.
RetroSpace is an action-packed sci-fi FPS that takes us on a space journey inspired by the 1970s and the BioShock series. The game’s visuals may not impress you at first glance, but don’t let them fool you, as that’s not where this title’s charm lies. RetroSpace has much more to offer and is simply waiting for you to give it a try.
