Starship Traveller has just released on PC and mobile, transforming the 1984 novel into a sci-fi gamebook

Author : Sophia Apr 01,2025

Embark on a thrilling interstellar journey with the latest addition to the Fighting Fantasy Classics library: Starship Traveller. Adapted from Stephen Jackson’s 1984 classic by Tin Man Games, this sci-fi gamebook is now available on Steam, Android, and iOS, bringing the adventure to modern platforms.

In Starship Traveller, you assume the role of a starship captain who finds themselves lost in the vast unknown of the universe after being pulled through the Seltsian Void. With no clear path back to familiar territory, you must explore alien worlds, negotiate with unknown civilizations, and engage in intense deep-space battles. Every choice you make influences your survival, the fate of your crew, and the condition of your ship.

Tin Man Games has revitalized Starship Traveller using its Gamebook Adventures Engine, enhancing the gameplay while preserving the essence of the original. As captain, you'll manage a team of up to seven crew members, dispatching them on perilous missions to uncharted planets. The game's built-in tracking system takes care of your stats, ship-to-ship combat, and maps, allowing you to immerse yourself fully in the adventure.

Starship Traveller Gameplay

For those seeking a more relaxed experience, Starship Traveller offers a Free Read mode. This mode includes classic dice rolls with adjustable difficulty settings, perfect for those who prefer a less intense adventure. The dice rolls are physics-based and interactive, adding a tangible sense of impact to your decisions.
