About Destination Earthstar

Destination Earthstar is a space combat game set in a future where humanity has been enslaved by the Kojans. The player's role is that of a pilot tasked with locating Earth while facing opposition from these alien forces.

Its structure alternates between two distinct modes of play. One involves first-person navigation where ship management, including fuel levels, is a consideration. After certain objectives are met on a planet, the perspective shifts to a side-scrolling format for more direct combat sequences.
