The lack of multiplayer is disappointing, but there is so much in it already that it’s hard to really be upset by the omission. The sheer number of things you can do in StarDrive 2 is phenomenal, especially considering DiCicco is creating it practically on his own. Battle Arena feels completely separate from the 4X conquest of StarDrive 2’s main mode, and will hopefully be expanded upon in some of developer Zer0sum Games’ post-launch updates. You are given a budget to spend on buying and customizing your ships at the start, and the money, experience, and losses you incur along the way carry over to the next mission.

Battle Arena is a series of fights tied together with a story through dialogues before each mission. Outside of the main single-player mode-which creator Dan DiCicco tells me should take roughly 6-10 hours-StarDrive 2 has no multiplayer, but does feature an alternate mode called Battle Arena.
