What it is
Epic Astro Story is Kairosoft’s single-player space colony simulation, released for Windows in 2022. Players develop a settlement on an untamed planet by building roads and homes for residents, then grow it into a destination for alien tourists. Residents can make products to sell or export, creating income for the colony. Away teams can explore caves and other regions to uncover territory or discover products, and building a Space Center opens exploration of other planets. New residents may be found on those expeditions, so the colony needs spare housing to accommodate them. The game also includes battles against hostile creatures, with victory potentially bringing rewards. Its listed Steam features include achievements, full controller support, Steam Cloud, and Family Sharing. Epic Astro Story blends settlement growth, exploration, production, tourism, and combat, with casual, indie, RPG, simulation, and strategy tags.
