Base One is a space station simulator with survival and RPG mechanics. Step into the role of intrepid explorers seeking to build new homes across the far reaches of the cosmos. Establish new colonies by building space stations, managing vital needs like heat, oxygen, and power, while searching for valuable resources in uncharted wilds.

About the story

Overcome a range of trials in a story-driven campaign set against a backdrop of socio-political drama where special interests and the powerful stand much to gain from the final frontier. Balance each station’s needs while researching and unlocking new technology that will ensure the long-term success and viability of human presence in the region. Outfit stations with solar panels, docking bays, life support systems, and more. Master devices such as probe launchers to gather items out in the vacuum of space -- and keep the crew’s morale up with critical creature comforts like sofas and the ever-useful toilet-shower.

Base One has problems, and there are plenty of them, whether they be bugs, imperfect engineering or unimaginative. However, it works around the proven core of strategy building and survival management focused games. This level works - with difficulty, but it does. Furthermore, there is also the potential for game development, and the ugly duckling could potentially grow into a beautiful swan, only that would require consistent care and effort on the part of the developers. The planned DLC could indicate that they consider Base One a longer-term project, but I certainly wouldn't put my hand up for that at this point.

After bad start with few patches you can find here good space base builder with complex and sometimes difficult management.

Base One is an enjoyable space base building game with great ship interior detail, a decent story and good challenging gameplay. Without a multiplayer component, custom games will extend the gameplay beyond completed the campaign free of mission objective shackles. It’s well worth the purchase price though and I’m looking forward to the first DLC.

Base One is a remarkable game where some design decisions -especially at the interface level- somewhat questionable and dozens of bugs, at least in the preliminary version, prevent it from reaching a higher grade. But it has some cool ideas and if it has developer support it can be a great game in the long run.

Base One is too conservative in its take on the future, its approach to mechanics, and its story to create an experience that can keep gamers engaged with the campaign in the long term. The custom game mode offers ways to engage with all core mechanics in a variety of player-defined scenarios.
