Evaluation
Starscape is a self-contained, story-driven arcade/strategy game developed and published by Moonpod that released on Steam on November 3, 2008. The store description presents a complete, finite experience with a defined narrative arc, five weapon technology threads, five exploration zones, and a clear endgame objective (escaping "The Grid"). There is no indication of post-launch DLC, expansions, seasonal content, or any form of ongoing development. No developer news posts or updates of any kind appear in the available record. The game was released as a finished product and has remained unchanged. There is nothing outstanding or unshipped — this is a complete package as it launched.

About this game
Moonpod's Starscape mixes old school arcade game play values with characterization and an involving plot to deepen the whole experience.
With most of its crew missing and its weapons systems ruined, the space research station Aegis is all but lost. As the last remaining pilot you must help rebuild the station's defenses, acquire alien technology and create your own uniquely configured set of fighters. By mining the asteroids within the grid dimension, valuable resources can be harvested to fuel the Aegis's molecular furnace to build devastating weaponry. Within the nodes of the grid you will encounter allies to aid in the struggle to escape, uncover the terrible purpose of the evil Archnid race and learn why you and the rest of the crew were brought here.
