GameCrate: "Sadly, any potential the game may have had is lost in its execution. Matches are long and nowhere near exciting, objectives aren't enough to make the grind worthwhile, and the game fails to deliver on the exciting premise of space warfare."
Armature Studio announced today that the servers for their multiplayer space shooter Dead Star will shut down on November 1.
Yup, and a real bummer for people who bought the game on PC instead of getting it from PS+, as it doesn't have a real single player mode.
outstanding devs, unfortunately I didn't really enjoy this title a much as I thought I would going into it. I hope their next project has more success.
3 more trophies for platinum, damn you guys I knew this was going to happen. They better fix the level 50 trophy so you can do it in practice.
Dead Star has another update that has just gone live on PS4. The game has been heavily supported since its launch as a PS Plus freebie last month, so it’s good to see the support going strong.

It’s been a busy month for us at Armature Studio with the PS4 launch of Dead Star via PlayStation Plus, and while we have plenty to talk about, we want to kick this off with some extremely exciting news: the stars of Ratchet & Clank are coming to kick some asteroid in Dead Star across a series of community events!
Yes, that’s right! Soon – as soon as tomorrow, actually – you’ll be able to use everyone’s favourite Lombax in Dead Star, with Clank coming shortly thereafter. All you have to do is play Dead Star during the below times, and you’ll instantly unlock the respective pilot portrait.
Another PS Plus failure
Crazy as hell, Dead Star is actually really well made and very intuitive if u take the time to learn the nuances. Combat, mining, base fortification, it's actually pretty enjoyable. Especially when u get into permanent ship upgrades and using the recycler.
I thought it was trash when i played the tutorial, but live matches with moba like upgrades are fun. If u want non strategic 3 minute matches then play something else. I like Dead Star and Armature is very well respected.
Wow, are you kidding? this score? I'm actually having fun with this game.
