Well fuck, I didn’t realize how directly prophetic this game was supposed to be

Hardspace: Shipbreaker

It’s a delightful game where you slice and dice starships up for salvage. The plot is entertaining, if fairly straightforward, but I also find it delightfully therapeutic to go into untimed sandbox mode and get as close to 100% resource recovery as possible, because my brain enjoys that sort of thing lol

Mechanics:

  • Zero-g 6DOF
  • plasma torch
  • plasma line projector
  • grappler
  • detonation charges
  • carefully (or carelessly, you do you) rip hazardous and often explosive and/or highly-charged components out starships for fun and profit (or to watch the pretty explosions as the reactor takes out a quarter of the hull mass a shatters another quarter of it into little bits)
