Whether you’re looking to steer a spaceship or tussle with extraterrestrials, these stellar games have got a world (or two) for you.

Before exploring space, you’ve got to get there – which is easier said than done in Faily Rocketman. Hop into your homemade ship and propel yourself upward, steering your wobbly ride around all manner of debris (hot air balloons, flying pigs) as you reach for the stars.

Grab a ticket to the Astral Express in the massive RPG Honkai: Star Rail from Genshin Impact creator HoYoverse. Face down aliens in explosive turn-based battles while discovering the secrets behind powerful celestial beings.

Planets are small fry. In Stellaris: Galaxy Command it’s whole galaxies you’re wrestling under control. As a representative for the United Nations of Earth, you’ll need to explore all corners of space, conquering galaxies as you go.

Some people are just wrong ‘uns, and up there with the worst of them is Darth Vader. Fortunately, this is your chance to put him in his place. As well as recreating iconic battles from your favourite films, Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes gives you all manner of new fights to win.

There’s no such thing as highly illogical in Star Trek Fleet Command. Klingons at the helm of the Enterprise? Kirk and Spock fighting for the glory of the Romulan Empire? Mix and match characters as you take on tense missions from the deck of your customised vessel. Just go boldly!

Don’t let its supercute look fool you – the 8-bit RPG Pixel Starships is as deep as they come. You have full control over your ship’s layout, from its weapons (lasers! missiles! plasma dischargers!) to the AI powering the adorable, handpicked crew.
