Star Trucker

Star Trucker is a simulator of a space truck driver. It was developed by Monster and Monster.

Mechanics

The game is an unusual arcade simulator, tasking us with transporting goods across space. It's rather humorous and light-hearted - our spaceship looks like a truck with jet engines instead of wheels.

Players travel through galactic highways, completing various assignments. Earned funds can be spent on upgrading the truck and buying new trailers, which unlock increasingly lucrative jobs.

We can also leave our track and go on a walk through outer space to collect scrap or make repairs. Apart from main quests we can also smuggle contraband and trade trinkets gathered during our trips.

The game's world feels alive, making it much more appealing. Players will encounter many different spaceships, including other trucks. There's also no shortage of various dangers and events. The truck is equipped with a radio used to talk to other characters.

Game modes

The game is only playable in singleplayer.

Technical aspects

Star Trucker features fully 3D, slightly cartoonish graphics. One of the game's strongest points is its unusual artstyle - it's heavily inspired by work of modern American truck drivers but sets said work in space, resulting in an unusual, charming final product.
