The upcoming console version of Kerbal Space Program offers three distinct gameplay modes, including a “Sandbox” feature that allows players to experiment with rocket science without goals or restrictions. In order for the Kerbals to explore outside of their home planet, players must fund scientific experiments, manage resources, and schedule test launches before entering orbit. Successfully launching a space program requires a significant amount of work on the player’s part, however. Players guide the Kerbals in their attempts to build rockets and explore the outer reaches of space. Originally released for PC platforms via Steam Early Access, Kerbal Space Program is a simulation game starring a science-minded but failure-prone alien race. Kerbal Space Program is also set to arrive for the Xbox One by the end of July, and a Wii U version is also in the works. Indie developer Squad’s popular interstellar exploration game Kerbal Space Program will make its console debut this week with the launch of a PlayStation 4 version, studio CEO Ezequiel Ayarza announced. From here though, the complexity can grow as you work out how to create a craft to travel further afield and how to account for orbits and gravity. This start is relatively complex, but you can soon get a handle on how the ship builds works. Your aim is to achieve orbit or travel to other celestial bodies, visualised via the map mode that displays the orbit or trajectory of the player vehicle, as well as the position and trajectory of other spacecraft and planetary bodies. You then launch your craft and control it in three dimensions with little assistance. You create the various required craft, rockets, aircraft, spaceplanes and rovers from the provided set of components. This not only connects players with the real challenges of space exploration but offers a more sedate and considered experience.
Unusually, your task is the administrator of the space program rather than adrenaline of the flight itself. This allows for orbital manoeuvres as in real space travel, such as Hohmann transfer orbits and bi-elliptic transfer orbits.
To succeed in the game you must work with its accurate simulation of orbital physics to create a spacecraft that is capable of flight and space travel.
It looks like a cute game for kids, but under its comic exterior is a hugely complex and engaging space simulation. You direct a space program, staffed and crewed by aliens. Kerbal Space Program is a space flight simulation game.
