Space Station Tycoon details, screens, and a packshot

For those who have been waiting for updates on Wahoo Studios‘ Space Station Tycoon, rejoice! A lot of new info, screenshots, and even the packshot for the title have just been released by Namco Bandai.

Basically, the game is about Shawn and Tam who are on an intergalactic journey to make a name for themselves in the field of Space Station management.

Space Station Tycoon has been described as “a fast paced, simulation game focusing on character interaction and humor, light puzzle solving, and customization in a free form, non-linear world.”

To help you better grasp this title, here are a few of the worth mentioning features as provided by the publisher:

• Tons of customization: Continually expand your empire with an increasing number of islands and customize each one to attract business. Add Galactic Taverns and overflowing treasure chests to befriend the unruly Space Pirates. Looking for a livelier crowd? Build luaus and water parks to attract the fun-loving Party Pigs.
• Awesome cast of characters: Play as entrepreneur Shawn, with the help of his monkey sidekick Tam, and keep a crazy cast of quirky characters happy so they will gladly spend their money. Make the right friends and you will run your competition into the ground. But, it’s not so easy when your competition seems to have ties to Space Pirates, Ninjas and mysterious voodoo-practicing Chickens.
• Physics-based object interaction: Create gravity points with your Wiimote and interact with objects in the environment. Catch asteroids to keep them from smashing your space station, bounce rowdy ships, retrieve tips from visitors and even lob cannonballs at those troublesome pirates that keep attacking.
• Goal-based gameplay: Manage stations all over the galaxy and take advantage of the ebb and flow of the economy to maximize your income. Meet the objectives of each level in order to continue to expand your empire and become the ultimate Space Station Tycoon.
• Multi-player Party Mode, Co-op play and others

The game is slated to be out this Summer, and is definitely something fans should watch out for. While waiting for, why don’t you look at the game’s new batch of screenshots? Be sure to keep checking back here for more updates on Space Station Tycoon.
