A minimalist real-time strategy game where you build and manage a space station, balancing expansion with defense to survive
Rymdkapsel is a minimalist real-time strategy game developed by Grapefrukt Games and released in 2013. In Rymdkapsel, the player builds and manages a space station alone in the universe.
The core gameplay revolves around strategically expanding the space station by placing tetromino-shaped rooms while balancing resources and defending against periodic attacks. Resources like food, personnel, research, and energy must be generated and consumed efficiently to allow the station to grow.
The player must also defend against attacks by enemies seeking to infiltrate or outright destroy the station. Weapons and defenses must be strategically placed to repel attacks from all sides. The player must continuously evaluate whether to focus on expanding or defending at any given moment.
With its refined presentation and strategic balance of expansion versus defense, Rymdkapsel offers a compelling and minimalist take on the real-time strategy genre.
