Author : Christian May 02,2025

Embark on an interstellar journey with *Starship Traveller*, the latest addition to the Fighting Fantasy Classics library, now available on Steam, Android, and iOS. Crafted by Tin Man Games, this adaptation of Stephen Jackson's 1984 sci-fi classic places you in the shoes of a starship captain, navigating the unknown realms of the universe after being ensnared by the Seltsian Void. Your mission? To find a way back home, exploring alien worlds, engaging with exotic civilizations, and surviving intense space battles, all while every choice you make influences your fate, the well-being of your crew, and the condition of your ship.

In this revamped version, the Gamebook Adventures Engine brings modern enhancements to the original tale, allowing you to manage a team of up to seven crew members. Send them on perilous expeditions across uncharted planets, while the game's tracking system effortlessly manages your stats, handles ship-to-ship combat, and keeps your maps updated, letting you immerse yourself in the adventure without distraction.

For those seeking a more relaxed experience, the Free Read mode offers a laid-back alternative. With classic dice rolls and customizable difficulty settings, you can enjoy a less intense journey. The dice rolls, being physics-based and interactive, add a tangible sense of impact to your decisions, enhancing your engagement with the story.
