Gameplay
Epic Astro Story has two main facets to its gameplay. The first is a city managing simulation, where the player is required to build up a colony and build its success. The second is a colony exploration component, which allows the player to look through caves, empty territory, and other planets for loot and land, and contains a battle system where the colony's explorers must fight aliens and monsters.[1][2] As the teams of colonists leave to explore, their progress in different areas is tracked through a bar on the bottom of the screen, which allows the player to continue with other management issues while the explorers continue their work.[2] All of the colonists have names that are a play on popular Star Trek characters.[2]
