About
Pixel Starships 2 is a starship building and battle game in an MMO universe. Featuring full ship customization, online fleets, exploration, programmable AI, detailed planning, micro-management, and complex battle tactics. The strategy mechanics are inspired by games such as FTL, Eve online, and Final Fantasy, and XCom.
Engage in epic real-time or asynchronous battles in Pixel Starships 2, where you command your fully-customized starship in strategic PvP and PvE combat across the galaxy. Layout your crew, program advanced battle AI, and unleash devastating combos as you face off against players from around the world in intense tactical showdowns.
In addition to a new graphics engine, PSS2 introduces a number of new gameplay mechanics. Oxygen and door access is now available. Ensure your mission critical rooms are well connected. New weapons facilities such as the bomb launcher introduce a new layer of depth. Room placement is even more important with bonuses for optimal placement.
The programmable AI system is back with improvements. New filtering conditions allow fine-grain control for AFK setup. At the same time new AI chip unlocking, Presets, Layouts, and Templates allow quick strategic changes.
The economy in the game is entirely market driven. You can loot, mine, craft, and re-sell items and equipment. Take advantage of resources in specific regions to create rare items. Control lucrative planets and trade routes for maximum economic advantage.
Discover new races and crew each with new unique abilities. Crew members now have 6 core stats, plus 4 resistance and skill stats which can be trained and leveled up to take on various specializations. Send your crew on new away missions to take down monsters on different planets.
eSports tournaments are a big part of Pixel Starships. New league and tournament modes are coming soon. The tournament system is now split into amateur and professional leagues to suit differing level of play.
We will continue to post development updates on the steam page and forums. Please add the game to your wishlist to receive upcoming updates.

This game is hard to like. It plays like Pixel Starships, which is already barebones as it was. Now Pixel Starships was always bland, you get a ship, upgrade it then go pvp with other ship layouts. Thats basically it, the story and events are just to get resources. Nothing goes beyond this FTL mmo clone. It worked because there was some f2p elements, and if you play this on android, a way to get ingame cash. Fighting other ships was good, there is lots of strategies if you sink your time in. Pixel Starships 2 though...brings nothing new. You can coat a old car in gold paint, but unless under the old car hood was good, then its still a gold old car. But it still in Beta, so we've yet to see what they plan to do.
This game has far too many bugs and glitches to be playable right now. I've spent more time restarting and reinstalling that actually playing the game. and what's worse is the "report bugs" button does not work. it jsut makes a noise and that's it.

A pretty boring building game that not much excited that for player to hyper with.
nearly a year later day 1 graphical glitches still not fixed.
Just lost 250 starbux thanks too broken "Rearm all" Button. PSS2 broken cashgrab just like PSS1. Waiting for telepsam ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ again. Dont play this ♥♥♥♥. concept is great but rest is just wrong.
Why this fits me: Space strategy focused Heavy resource farming, playable in short (~5 min) or long sessions Cross-platform: PC, Android, iOS Has gacha mechanics (crew), but still considered reasonably F2P-friendly Long-standing pre-release with frequent patches Active dev team and regular balance updates Known for a strong, helpful community structure The 400+ hours on Android also matches the kind of long-term progression loop the game is built around.
This game is a trashfire of bugs on both Steam and the Android version. The devs steal your money, ignore emails and its such a bad cash grab that its basically dead. Believe all those negative reviews, they are true.
It is a good game and fun to play so I do recommend it. The major problem I see is that unfortunately, it is very pay to win. There is no path for a regular player to get far without spending a lot of cash. I hope the DEV team works on addressing this and I am sure this game will be a success. Ultimately everyone has the ability to upgrade your ship to the same level, the ship is not the problem. The real differentiator is the crew, and modules. There is no path for you to get end game crew without spending significant amount of cash to even be able to compete with big spenders. So if this does not change, it will just be the big spenders battling it out between them until PS3 is developed and then the cycle will repeat.
18-Mar-2026 In it's current state I can not recommend this. Play the first one if you want to play this type of game.
Originally, I had a terrible experience with the offerwall promotion for this game, which led to my initial negative review. However, after further investigation, the support team acknowledged the setup error, took responsibility, and manually credited my rewards. Since the issue has been fully resolved and the team demonstrated a fair commitment to their users, I am updating my review to positive. The game itself is fun and worth trying!
