Description


Being the captain of a spaceship can be hard, especially when there’s a price on your head. Bounty hunters, space pirates, and even the Galactic Union are trying to hunt you down. All that stands between you and oblivion is your wits, your crew, and your trusty ship.

The Galactic Junkers is a comedic action-adventure space combat game that puts you in the role of a space captain on the run. Your ship might be falling apart and your crew isn’t the best but with a little luck you can keep everything ship-shape. Upgrade your ship, hire new crew, steal supplies and equipment, and keep searching for the truth of why everyone wants you dead.

In the far future the Great Cataclysm saw Earth destroyed, seeing humanity throughout the Solar System. To survive we’ve become nomads, eking out a living on space stations that are falling apart and barely habitable asteroids. Humanity has lost hope but a few brave space captains are out there, trying to find a new future for us. You’re one of them, building a life full of adventure for you and your crew, with a full load of Space Munch, a moody computer and a barely functioning ship, what could possibly go wrong?



Explore
Take a journey across the solar system exploring all nine planets and their neighboring sectors. Discover mysterious asteroids, creaking space stations, abandoned shipwrecks, deadly pirates and much more.



Mine, Salvage, Steal, and Trade
Running a spaceship is never easy and there’s always bills to pay. Keep your bank balance looking healthy by mining asteroids, salvaging derelicts, and trading with disreputable characters. Maybe you’ll even partake in a little theft, but don’t worry - we don’t tell anyone.



Battle and Board Enemy Ships
Space is a deadly place so you’ll have to fight for your life. Set your crew to operate the guns and show those pesky pirates what you are made of! Board enemy ships to smash and grab essential resources or hack systems from the shadows.



Hire and Maintain your Crew
A happy ship needs a happy crew, so look after your band of useful idiots. Nurture their skills to keep everything running smoothly, or if you don't like them, show them the airlock and hire new crew.



Buy, Upgrade, and Repair Ships
Maybe you need a little more juice in the engine department or your guns are falling short. Upgrade your ship to take control of the sector and make a name for yourself. Or if you prefer something a little fancier, trade in your ship for a better model. Just don’t forget your maintenance routines!



Protect You and Your Ship at all Costs
Try not to get yourself blown up, captured, or otherwise incapacitated. We’re counting on you to find the truth behind the bounty on your head and see if there’s a bigger destiny for you out there. Explore strange new worlds, meet weird new people, try dodgy food, and boldly fumble where no space captain has fumbled before, just don't get your exhaust ports blown off!

Review by Gaming Masterpieces - The greatest games of all time on Steam. Is this game a masterpiece? No. Plays like in Early Access. Crew members not moving, crew members not repairing a damaged system, speech bubbles

Fun game but too many bugs. Getting stuck and unable to move after salvaging items on ships. Trying to exit the wrong hatch when trying to get off a salvaged ship. Not being able to undock because the crew can't get off

Most of the rave and complaints of the other reviews are on spot. First part of the game is interesting. And then it grows into a part walking simulator waiting on crew members to get to places. Doesnt help after awhile

The game is just too buggy. I lost all my progress because all 3 autosaves have a different corruption. 1 has my ship locked in a jump gate animation and the other 2 lost the objective so I cant trigger the next mission

This seems to be a simple version of the bomber crew. Those others i wanted to play but died to much which caused frustration. This on the other hand i am finding enjoyment. So far so Good . So great for those who like

If FTL didn't exist, maybe this would have some interest. This is just FTL without the responsiveness, the cohesive storytelling, the tactics, or the love. The space-level navigation is borderline impossible, moving
