Astrometica is a first-person, base-building survival game set in outer space.

When you see Astrometica, if you’re familiar at all with other games in the first-person survival genre, your first thought might be ‘this is Subnautica in space’. If you had that thought, well…you wouldn’t be wrong. From everything I’ve seen of Astrometica, that’s exactly what it is, maybe with touches of No Man’s Sky. Still, it looks promising. A good first-person survival game in outer space isn’t a bad thing no matter who the developer is, so I’ll take it.

Astrometica promises exploration, crafting, resource gathering, base-building, and discovery, all in the cold, harsh loneliness of outer space. A playable demo is available right now, and the Early Access release date for PC is December 10, 2024. Check out the gameplay trailer below:

Immerse yourself in Astrometica, a space exploration and base-building survival game.

After an explosion at a mining space station, you awaken inside an emergency pod adrift in the vastness of space. To survive, you must harness your skills, explore the endless universe, and search for other survivors’ emergency pods or outposts.

Space Exploration:

Experience the thrill of exploring the vastness of space with cutting-edge technology. Navigate through asteroid belts, mysterious cosmic anomalies, and abandoned space stations using a variety of vehicles specially designed for deep space travel. Discover hidden secrets and uncover the mysteries of the cosmos as you chart a course through the unknown. Every corner of space holds a new discovery, whether it’s a new resource, a signal from another survivor, or a piece of lost technology waiting to be found.

Base Building:

Build and expand your own bases across the stars. In Astrometica, base building is key to your survival and exploration. Construct modular bases to serve as safe havens, research facilities, or resource gathering outposts. Automate mining operations to extract valuable resources from asteroids and deposits. Design your bases to be both functional and fortified, ensuring they can withstand the harsh conditions of space and potential threats. As you explore, you’ll unlock new blueprints to further enhance and customize your bases, making each outpost uniquely yours.

Mining and Tools:

Equip yourself with a variety of tools to mine for essential resources and salvage valuable materials. Craft and upgrade tools like drills, mining lasers, and scrappers to efficiently gather resources needed for survival and expansion. The more you explore and mine, the more you uncover rare materials that can be used to create advanced technologies and powerful equipment. Your tools are your lifeline in space; maintaining and upgrading them is crucial to your survival and success in the unforgiving environment of deep space.

Scanning Environment:

Utilize advanced scanning tools to survey your surroundings and discover new blueprints and technologies. When you come across other survivors’ outposts or wreckages, use your scanner to analyze fragments and gain insights into new crafting recipes and tech upgrades. Scanning isn’t just about finding new gear—it’s about piecing together the story of what happened and understanding the universe around you. With each scan, you get closer to unraveling the mysteries of Astrometica and finding the means to thrive in space.

Astrometica is more than just survival—it’s about exploring the unknown, building a life among the stars, and uncovering the secrets hidden in the vast cosmos.
