Starlink: Battle for Atlas

About

Starlink: Battle for Atlas lets you design and build real-world starships that directly shape your in-game adventures. Attach different parts to your physical controller to customize your pilot, hull, wings, and weapons. Then take to the skies, or space, as you battle enemy fleets, tweak your setup mid-combat, and experiment with abilities and combos. The action blends shooting, exploration, and quick strategy, letting you adapt your ship’s loadout to survive each showdown. What sets it apart is the hands-on crafting system. Every hardware swap translates instantly to new in-game options, encouraging creative builds and replayability. Play solo or team up with friends locally via co-op or split-screen modes. Launched in 2018, it’s still a favorite for its mix of tactile customization and fast-paced space combat across PlayStation 4, PC, and Xbox One.

Storyline

You choose your pilot, hull, wings and weapons, combine them to build a custom starship and lock it into place atop your game controller. As you pilot your way to a nearby planet within the Atlas Star System, you sense you’re not alone. Suddenly, three enemy ships emerge from a nearby astreroid field and it becomes very clear you are not welcome. You try to fight them off, but realize your current loadout isn’t working in this situation. You make a lightning-fast decision, swap out your wings and weapons on the fly and re-engage, as another epic battle begins to save the galaxy from Grax and the Forgotten Legion.
