## About PULSAR: Lost Colony

PULSAR: Lost Colony is a co-op space simulation released in 2021 by Leafy Games, available for $19.99. Players take on specialized roles aboard a spaceship, coordinating systems like piloting, power management, and weapons to explore procedurally generated sectors. The game features physics-based combat, planetary exploration, NPC crew members with autonomous behavior, and dynamic events including hacking and sabotage. Reviewers describe the atmosphere as immersive and epic, with players highlighting how crew roles matter deeply and how NPCs react dynamically to damage states. Exploration feels emergent rather than scripted, and players note the title remains accessible without mandatory combat. The game runs as playable on Steam Deck and holds a 90% positive rating from over 3,700 Steam reviews.
