Into the Stars Officially Launches into Orbit

One of the newest Space Simulator games titled Into the Stars has left Steams Early Access today and is now complete. If you enjoy games like Star Citizen, Star Trek Online or even your general flying sim then you'll probably enjoy this. The game utilizes the Unreal Engine 4 to create a massive open world scenario for users in which they begin the game inside a pretty large star system and then venture out into deep space in an effort to find a new home for the human race. You'll take on the role of a captain, outfit your ship, pick your crew, scavenge resources and then attempt to flee some nasty aliens.



Ben Ben Hones, the Development Director of Fugitive Games had this to saying when discussing the game;

"Into the Stars has used the Early Access process to the fullest, leveraging community feedback and numerous updates to fine tune the gameplay experience. With a massive, vibrant universe to explore, Into The Stars provides players with hours of discoverability. Each time someone plays, their strategy skills will be tested by facing incredible obstacles and unique situations from the surface of foreign planets to the hulls of derelict ships."

With all of that said, here's a pretty cool Cinematic trailer to get a feel for the game;



Into the Stars opens with new missions, updated content, exploration mode, Steam achievements, trading cars and is debuting in a variety of languages including German, Spanish, Italian, French, Russian and Polish.



The game can be had for a pretty good price of $17.99 on the Steam Store. There's also a Digital Deluxe Version for $36.99 which includes the following additional features;

• An Original Soundtrack, by legendary composer Jack Wall
• A Digital copy of Developers Artbook
• A Handy Star map
• An Exclusive collection of game wallpapers

Into the Stars has collected some pretty good recognition such as receiving the Best-in-Play award at the 2015 Game Developers Conference last year.  Be sure to check out their official Into the Stars web site for more information and screens. So I would say it is worth checking out.
