Isometric RPG Colony Ship: A Post-Earth Role Playing Game - Review

RPGs feel hit-or-miss to the extreme in recent years. Most end up being too much of a time commitment without enough of an entertainment payout, though every so often there's one that's worthy of the investment. For every Baldur's Gate 3, there are dozens of Starfields, but even the strong entries into the genre rarely have the true roleplaying feel of the classics.

I want to see more games with true storytelling that stay with you for years after playing them and continue to make their way into gaming discussions like Fallout: New Vegas, Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura, and Dragon Age: Origins.

Fortunately, even though they are a rarity, there are still some new releases that carry the torch admirably. Colony Ship: A Post-Earth Role Playing Game by Iron Tower Studio is the most recent of these that I have had the good fortune of getting my hands on. Though it isn't flawless, it is an excellent title where the experience itself shows the clear devotion and passion that went into its creation.

The Bottom Line
Colony Ship: A Post-Earth Role Playing Game is an excellent entry into the genre, especially when compared to the modern releases that surround it. It took me around eighteen hours to complete everything that I wanted to in the experience, and the vast majority of that was enjoyable, if not outright thrilling.

Your choices have an impact in a setting that is entirely capable of making its players lose themselves in it. It's old-school in many ways, both positive and negative, but this lends itself to its charm and whether you're passionate about classic cRPGS or simply looking for a new one to play, I highly recommend giving Colony Ship a shot especially with the frequency of updates from Iron Tower Studio.
