The Mandate, a space exploration game packed with 1500 years worth of lore, has just reached its $500,000 Kickstarter goal. It's a big moment for the team, but the Perihelion Interactive project still has four more days to earn some extra funding before it begins full development.
What is The Mandate? Think of it as the interactive space drama you’ve always dreamed of. You can have deep interactions with your crew, explore different worlds that react to your unique choices, board enemy ships, and fight massive space battles. This is a sizable RPG experience, with a great deal more ship and player management than something like Mass Effect.
If you’re still a bit confused, take a look at the above developer diary on the anatomy of the game. The developers talk about the adventure and star base modes, including all the individual mechanics found in these features that make them unique.
If you’re interested in The Mandate, you still have a few more days to add to its current bank roll. There are plenty of rewards to be grabbed, and thankfully, the developers seem willing to update their backers as often as possible.
