As a Pathfinder 2e sicko, I'm excited for Starfinder: Afterlight after playing an hour of its playtest—but Epictellers has a lot of work to do before demo time this summer

Captain Khali from Starfinder: Afterlight looks over her shoulder with a smarmy, confident grin.

I'm rather excited for Starfinder: Afterlight, mostly because it's the closest—beyond charming indie projects like Dawnsbury Days—I'm going to get to a fully-realised Pathfinder 2e videogame in the near future. It uses Starfinder 2e, but the base rules chassis is very much the same.

I was also rather taken by its visual presentation. It's clear fledgling studio Epictellers, for whom Afterlight is its first game, is shooting for the stars—especially by snagging prodigious voice talent such as Neil Newbon (Astarion, Baldur's Gate 3) and Roger Clark (Arthur Morgan, Red Dead Redemption 2).
