Jumplight Odyssey - From Space Flight to Crew Management

The Premise of Jumplight Odyssey

Jumplight Odyssey is not your ordinary space game. Here, you don't just control a spaceship through the vastness of the universe, but command an entire crew on an epic journey across the galaxy. After your home world is destroyed, it is your task to find a new home for your crew. However, the path ahead is not easy. You will constantly be pursued by enemy fleets and must hurry through each star system to gather resources and upgrade your ship.

The Gameplay of Jumplight Odyssey

In Jumplight Odyssey, you not only manage your spaceship but also your crew. Each crew member has their own moods, interests, and relationships that you need to keep an eye on. Are you ready for this microcosm of drama and adventure?

How FTL, Two Point Hospital, and RimWorld come together

The developers of Jumplight Odyssey drew inspiration from various games. The gameplay is reminiscent of the popular game Faster Than Light (FTL), where the objective is to escape from enemy fleets with a spaceship while collecting resources. But aspects from Two Point Hospital and RimWorld also influence the gameplay. You build new rooms and modules on your ship and manage dozens of crew members, similar to running a hospital or colony.

Jumplight Odyssey vs Starfield

Another highly anticipated space game called Starfield is about to be released. However, despite the immense excitement for this game, I am almost equally excited about Jumplight Odyssey. The innovative gameplay and the interesting blend of different game principles have convinced me. In short, if you are a fan of space simulations or simply looking for an exciting new game, Jumplight Odyssey is definitely worth keeping an eye on!
