Star Valor: An Underrated Gem Among Steam’s Space RPGs That Keeps Improving

Sure, let’s dive into this galaxy and see where we end up. Weird how space games just get me, you know?

Okay, so I got thinking the other day—what’s with space RPGs and that whole wonder-vibe-thing? Like, No Man’s Sky and Starfield do this thing where you feel tiny, but also like you own everything. Odd combo, right? But hey, works for them. Reminds me of those old-school gems, like Wing Commander: Privateer. Which, by the way, probably inspired Star Valor. It’s this little-known game that’s getting a new DLC, all about building bases. Apparently, it’s gonna take it up a notch.

So yeah, Star Valor – Base Building. Pretty self-explanatory, I guess? You get to construct and manage bases. Think about it – there are different station types, like you can mine asteroids (which are absolutely massive, by the way) or set up production spots to boost that cash flow. There’s even a mode where you kick things off with a base instead of a ship. But hold on, don’t get too cozy—you’ll have waves of enemies to fend off. But honestly, that’s part of the fun, right? Feeling like a galactic big shot while also having a zillion ways to play. Be a trader, a warlord—whatever floats your spaceship.

For those who haven’t stumbled across Star Valor, picture this: a space RPG where every time you dive in, it’s like starting a new book. It’s always different thanks to its procedurally generated galaxy. You’re on your own at first, but soon enough, you level up, rake in some dough, and start building your crew. Bigger ships, entire fleets even, become your thing. And then it’s all about bartering, fighting, making friends (or enemies) across seven factions.

Oh, and mark your calendars: July 27, 2025. That’s when this Base Building DLC lands. No word on the price yet, but I guess we’ll see.
