The vast expanse of outer space offers a new frontier for gamers with the release of Astronomics in Steam Early Access. Brought to you by the renowned indie game studio, Numizmatic, this asteroid mining automation adventure promises to blend the thrill of top-down action with the strategic elements of resource management and space exploration.
Players are thrust into the role of an independent contractor navigating the challenges and perils of the asteroid belt. The ultimate aim is clear – to mine enough resources to secure a ticket back to Earth. This journey involves not just space and resource management skills but also fending off lurking pirate ships amidst an endless sea of asteroids.
Features of the game include manual shuttle piloting where players can have hands-on control over their spacecraft, ensuring safe navigation through asteroid fields. Automation of asteroid mining lets players efficiently extract valuable resources, optimizing their operations for the best returns. The game’s development offers a promising road map to version 1.0, details of which are readily available on the game’s website.
Numizmatic, based in and around Toronto, Canada, is no stranger to creating engaging gaming experiences. Their previous title, Light Fingers, captivated players when it launched on the Nintendo Switch in 2018. The distinctive touch that Numizmatic infuses into their games is further enhanced in Astronomics, with the development being supported by funding from Ontario Creates, underscoring the significant creative and resource investments poured into the game’s creation.
Embarking on this celestial journey invites players to experience a blend of exploration, survival, and strategic resource management, making Astronomics a notable title for those seeking a fresh challenge in space-themed adventures.
