Starfinder: Afterlight – A Space Odyssey Awaits!

Blast Off into Starfinder: Afterlight

Hold onto your space helmets, folks! If you thought CRPGs were resting in the cosmic garage, think again! Thanks to games like Baldur’s Gate 3, the realm of digital D&D is rocketing back into fashion. Enter Starfinder: Afterlight, the tactical RPG that’s got sci-fi lovers buzzing brighter than a hyperdrive in overdrive. It’s already lounging comfortably on my 2026 wishlist, with its mix of nail-biting decisions and a battle system that’ll make your brain do somersaults.

Imagine a universe where magical lasers and techy wizardry tango together while your captain plays a thrilling game of hide and seek. Sounds fun, right? In this interstellar escapade, you’ll gather a crew of unlikely heroes—think android ninjas, sage-like prophets, and who knows what else—as you aim to save the galaxy from a certain doom, all while your captain is off who-knows-where!

Choose Your Own Astral Adventure

Just like any good tabletop adventure, Starfinder: Afterlight hands you the power of choice. Nothing is off the table, and every decision you make sends ripples through the universe, making sure you don’t feel like you’re just wandering around space like a lost comet. With a campaign that stretches anywhere from 40 to 60 hours, you better believe no two journeys will play the same. Pranks and surprises await behind every asteroid!

In the latest gameplay sneak peek, we see how battles unfold with the classic three-action turns. Don’t let the thought of strategy scare you off! If Baldur’s Gate 3 had your head spinning, fear not! Starfinder offers a comfy entry point with the same depth to keep you thinking hard—just the way I like it. Plus, there’s a quirky twist with those Persona-style character cutaways showing off dazzling expressions when key actions pop up. Talk about adding some flair!

But let’s talk about the star of this cosmic show—Roger Clark, the voice that brought Arthur Morgan to life in Red Dead Redemption 2, is stepping into the role of narrator. Picture your epic space quest being narrated by one of gaming’s beloved cowboys. It’s the cherry on top of an already delicious sci-fi sundae! And he’s got company; the voice cast features some heavy hitters, including Neil Newbon, Fred Tatasciore, and more—all contributing to that immersive vibe that pulls you right into the starry drama.

Mark your calendars for 2026! Starfinder: Afterlight is set to make its grand entrance through Steam Early Access. Keep your fingers crossed for a demo landing soon, so you can hop aboard and get a taste of this quirky space adventure when it arrives!
