Infinite Space (Nintendo DS)
Infinite Space is a title on the Nintendo DS from Platinum Games, the makers of Bayonetta and Metal Gear Rising. The game takes place tens of thousands of years in the future, after mankind has spread across the stars and inhabited other planets and systems. Infinite Space’s story is separated into two different halves ten years apart, both focusing on a young starship captain-in-training named Yuri.
The core gameplay of Infinite Space revolves around you constructing your own spaceship, and engaging in battles with it. Battles play out in a turn-based manner, and have you selecting moves from the touchscreen. There are over 150 ship models to choose from, and over 150 crew members to join your crew.
Infinite Space certainly isn’t a short experience, as completing just the main story alone takes around 40 hours. Considering you can take it on the go, it may just be the perfect thing to tide you over.
