You play John Falcon, a space pilot whose crew finds a dead body as his new ship is impounded and a shipment of gold goes missing. Trying to get back on his feet draws him into jobs, shady encounters, and a larger story of intergalactic intrigue.
Travel between star systems in a top-down ship view, taking on deliveries, passenger trips, bounties, mining, trading, and pirate encounters. You can also board stations and derelict ships, switch to on-foot exploration, talk to characters, and search for clues or salvage.
Earn credits to buy and upgrade ships, improving your cargo capacity and combat equipment as you choose how to make your way through the galaxy. Missions and exploration offer different routes through the open-world adventure, alongside a main story and side jobs.
Players in the supplied reviews often enjoy the blend of top-down space travel and on-foot adventure, finding it approachable and reminiscent of older space games. The witty writing, retro look, and soundtrack also come up as reasons the game leaves a warm impression. Some reviewers, however, find the combat and progression too simple or the interface difficult to read.

Awarded Space Game of the Decade by Space Game Junkie!
Fusing space exploration, fast-paced combat, trading, and a healthy dose of point-and-click comedic adventuring, 3030 Deathwar Redux sets you free to roam an entire war-torn galaxy filled with devastated planets, uninhabitable zones, and space stations in quarantine lockdown.
Help freewheeling space pilot John Falcon get back on his feet in a huge open world inspired by both the classic Elite and Lucasarts' finest adventures, and plot your own course through the game's dizzying array of missions, stories, and places.
It's not been a good day for you. Your crew has discovered a dead body, your brand new ship's been impounded by the cops, and most people you run into seem very unhappy with you... probably something to do with that missing cargo of gold bars.
So... will you take on a couple shady delivery jobs in order to afford a better ship, or will you downsize to a cheap jetsuit and go shooting space-junk for quick money? Will you perhaps decide to focus on finding that missing gold shipment before the local gangs and salvage teams get there first?
Meanwhile, there's that damn mechanic who sold you a stolen ship, and a mysterious 'Taoist' group everyone keeps talking about. Oh, yes, you have most definitely found yourself inextricably caught up in a plot of intergalactic intrigue...
