So, here’s the thing about space RPGs—there’s something kinda magical about them, right? Not in a fairy godmother way, but more like just feeling super tiny in this vast universe. It’s like, you boot up something like No Man’s Sky or that new Starfield game, and suddenly, you’re hit with this overwhelming sense of freedom. You ever play those old-school games like Wing Commander: Privateer? Man, those were the days. Anyway, Star Valor—yep, it might ring a bell—is sort of cruising on that same wavelength. And get this, they’re releasing some new DLC all about base building. Sounds neat, huh?
Now, speaking of the DLC, Star Valor – Base Building really does what it says. I mean, there’s no hidden surprise there. You basically get to play around with different stations—mining, production—you name it. Imagine pulling minerals from asteroids or setting up facilities to power up your economy. Ha, who would’ve thought, right? You can even kick off with a base instead of just a spaceship and fight off enemy waves. There’s so much you can do—become a trader, or if that’s too vanilla, how about a pirate warlord? Choices, choices.
For those scratching their heads, wondering, “What’s this Star Valor thing anyway?”—it’s basically an RPG set in space that’s different every go-around. And I just love that chaos! No two galaxies are the same! You start with basically nothing, level up, make some cash, recruit a crew. Soon enough, you’ve got your own fleet. That’s right, you can barter, fight, and maybe, just maybe, make allies with seven factions. Seven! That’s more than I can handle most days.
Alright, a quick detour about the DLC. It’s dropping on July 27, 2025. Not sure what they’re charging yet though. Guess we’ll find out soon enough.
Oh, and if you’re one of those people who just can’t get enough of these epic worlds, there’s a list somewhere of best RPGs you should dive into. Endless possibilities and all that jazz. Also, heads-up, there’s a whole community out there on Discord talking about this stuff if you’re keen to join. Chat, argue, whatever floats your spaceship.
