84/100

60 Parsecs! takes the frantic, stressful decision-making of 60 Seconds! and launches it into the cosmos. The game begins with a brilliant, chaotic minute where you must grab crew members and supplies before your station explodes. This initial scramble sets the tone for a survival experience that is equal parts hilarious and brutal.

Once in the escape pod, the game shifts into a text-based survival management sim. The writing is the real star here—the dark humor and the absurd ways your crew can meet their demise keep the experience fresh even through multiple failures. It’s a game of resource management where you are constantly weighing the risk of exploration against the reality of starving. It's difficult, often unfair (thanks to RNG), but always entertaining.

Dinsun Review

Dinsun here. I liked 60 Seconds!, and this sci-fi follow-up is better in almost every way. The crafting system adds a layer of strategy that the first game lacked. It’s a game about misery management—how long can you let your crew go hungry before they lose it? The writing is sharp, cynical, and very much my style.

However, it relies heavily on RNG (Random Number Generation). You can make every 'right' choice and still get wiped out by a random event you couldn't control. I find that frustrating in a game that takes this much time per run. It’s also quite repetitive once you’ve seen the main event blocks. I’m giving it a conservative score because while it’s a great 'story generator,' it can be a deeply annoying 'game' when the luck doesn't go your way.

Your space station is about to explode and you only have 60 seconds before things get messy. What (or who) will you grab before you make a mad dash for the emergency shuttle and begin your journey into THE GREAT UNKNOWN?

This is 60 Parsecs!, a dark comedy sci-fi adventure set in the Atomic Space Age - complete with all the Cold War paranoia, chrome-plated wall accents and cockroaches with space helmets.

Lead a crew of woefully unprepared astronauts, equipped with whatever junk - sorry - "supplies" you can grab before blasting off, on a journey across the cosmos that's best described as misguided. Make the best of it, while dealing with soup shortages and other horrors of outer space. Will you have what it takes to find a new home and survive?

Bon voyage!

SCAVENGE & EVACUATE

With only 60 seconds before nukes reduce the space station to floating particles in the vacuum of space, frantically grab whatever supplies and crew you can before getting out of there. You never know when that sock puppet will come in handy.

SURVIVE & DECIDE

Space funerals are inconvenient, so try to avoid dying where possible. Use your limited supplies and (hopefully not limited) wits to make difficult choices and ensure your survival, even though the odds are definitely stacked against you.

EXPLORE & CRAFT

Duct tape fixes all problems, but how do you fix (or at least craft) duct tape? Chart expeditions to find resources, craft survival essentials and explore strange new worlds in a procedural, very-much-permadeath adventure.

LEAD & PROTECT

As captain, it's your duty to keep the crew happy - they're less likely to kill you that way. Manage relationships as you watch them grow closer and hopefully not throw each other out the airlock.


Requires iOS 13.0 or later. Compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.

Atomic Space Age was a blast! Until it became the Post-Apocalyptic Space Age.
