Even after playing campaign, the tutorials and online multiplayer, I am still struggling to do the basic controls of this game even after hours under my belt.

There is combat in further stages later on which adds another level of difficulty, but due to development and my personal struggle of figuring out how to use all the options and learn the game with little given explanations, I have not yet gotten to those levels. Sometimes if you are not paying attention because you are too busy cleaning or working on multi leveled floors, your employees will quit, and you will need to hire new ones, taking more time and costs. You'll be hiring visiting aliens to operate your various machines and essential services around your station, though it will take some trial and error to figure out not only how to do so, but the most efficient way to keep employee aliens happy. As you progress and earn enough energy, you'll be able to construct more buildings that will help your space station grow and occupants stay pleased.

You need to build things like a birth (that has food and other systems for guests to use) and a recycling station because your visitors do not know how to use a garbage can and will throw trash on the floor wose than a movie theater. It's almost as if Spacebase Startopia was originally built for PC, then simply tried to convert its controls onto a controller with limited buttons. I was constantly struggling with the controls to complete tasks and get things built because you need to hold multiple buttons to open a menu to be able to build your space station into a smooth operating system. If you've played Dungeons III, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. You're constantly berated, but done humerously. The AI "VAL" does her best to guide you through the levels, but not without throwing a bit of salt in wounds quite humorously, when you have made an interesting or straight up wrong decision. Your job is to maintain the main levels and expand into further ones, but doing so won't be easy. It appears though that the ship was abandoned because too many alien enemies were trying to take over the space station. You become the commander of an abandoned space station because you are the only humanoid with enough brain capacity to take control of the station. This game is a base building management simulator where you are the Command-R of an old, abandoned space station, guided by the dynamic narrator AI "VAL", who does not really tell you any information of what you need to do, only criticizes your actions and tells you when an event is taking place on your space station. Starbase Startopia is currently in Game Preview, set for its full release March 25th, 2021 from developers Realmforge, creators best known for Dungeons III.
