StarCrawlers

About

StarCrawlers throws you into a spacepunk world where corporate greed and back-alley deals fuel a crew of misfits. You’ll assemble a band of specialists, each with distinct skills and personalities, and send them into derelict stations and hostile zones to snatch bounties, plant explosives, or siphon secrets. Combat leans into tactical turn-based mechanics, balancing gunplay, hacking, and brute force. Every mission demands adapting to unpredictable threats while managing your crew’s loyalty and resources. The game’s morally gray missions and squad-building depth set it apart. Players navigate a universe where every job has hidden costs and alliances shift like asteroid dust. Since its 2017 release on PC and Mac, it’s maintained a cult following for its sharp writing and punishing difficulty. Longtime fans praise its refusal to handhold, rewarding careful planning over flashy action. If you like grinding through procedurally generated hazards with a team that feels earned, this one’s got staying power.

Storyline

"You’re a Crawler, and that means you work for those that can pay. Asset recovery, commercial espionage, and mayhem for hire are just a few of your crew’s specialized services. If something shady needs doing, chances are a Crawler will be involved. Succeed and you’ll be rewarded with better pay then any corp drone can dream of. Plus, you'll earn the respect of the eclectic assortment of merchants, opportunists and adventurers who make their home in the fringes of space."
