IN Space Empires: Starfury the player takes on the role of a special agent on a mission for the Terran Confederate Fleet. In neutral corners of space, pirate attacks have become more frequent and the main character has been tasked with dealing with it. However, it depends only on the gamer whether the agent will complete the initial task or, conversely, join the space robbers. Unlike other parts of the franchise, only one ship is available to the user, so you need to carefully consider which cargo or weapon is best to take.

By completing missions, the protagonist receives experience points, which can be spent on discovering new abilities and improving old ones. The gamer is also able to easily change the design of the machine, changing rooms, protection and weapons. All parts add benefits, but it is impossible to equip a ship with all modifications at once. Several types of ships have been added to the game. The larger the vessel, the higher its carrying capacity, but the lower the speed of movement.

Space Empires: Starfury has several main modes – story campaign and free play mode. In the first, the player completes story objectives, fighting or helping pirates. In the second company, you can improve your car without restrictions, travel around the galaxy and solve minor quests. If the hero is driven into a corner, he can not only fight, but also try to escape – this is the best choice when the forces are too unequal.
