RPG Gamers summaryFlatspace is a top-down space simulation game with a focus on exploration and free gameplay choices. Players take on the role of a spaceship captain in a simulated future galaxy, and must decide how to earn a living - whether that be trading cargo, becoming a bounty hunter to track down notorious criminals or living a life of a space pirate. Players can also command their crew, purchase new ships and equipment and upgrade their abilities in order to explore the galaxy in great depth. With elements borrowed from classic space trading games like Elite and Roguelike games such as Nethack, Flatspace provides an authentic and realistic experience with unique, random elements that make each game different from the last. Originally created in 2004, Flatspace has been remastered for new computers, and has since spawned two sequels - Flatspace II and Flatspace IIk.
