Star Atlas Review - Comeback time or doomed game? Gameplay Breakdown

<p>Star Atlas has officially kicked off its biggest campaign since 2022. The iconic Solana based game has dubbed the next few weeks "Star Atlas Summer." It also released key updates. These include gameplay improvements, a new progression system, regional matchmaking, and new reward tracks.</p><p><a href="https://funjible.games/games/Star-Atlas">Star Atlas</a> hosted its first Town Hall on July 30, kicking off its summer initiative. This marked a significant change, as the game usually holds around three to four gatherings a year. The increased communication with the user base signalled a new era for Star Atlas.</p><p>The event began with a captivating cinematic trailer, setting the tone for Star Atlas' features. The trailer's cryptic narration, "To evolve, you may need to burn everything down," hinted at a shift in Star Atlas' narrative and gameplay direction. Nevertheless, the primary goal remains the same: to increase player engagement across all products.</p><div class="raw-html-embed"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-theme="dark" data-dnt="true" align="center"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Sometimes to evolve, you need to burn everything down.

<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div><h2>Sun's Out, Updates are Out</h2><p>The trailer hinted at a deeper transformation, and gameplay updates echo this promise. The latest Star Atlas update unveils a stunning visual refresh, beginning with the title screen. A sleek new UI and revamped maps. Yet, the crown jewel might be the character progression system, which empowers players to:</p><ul><li>Level up 14 character groups (species/gender combos).</li><li>Unlock crew packs by reaching milestones.</li><li>Prestige resets at level 20 for long-term goals.</li><li>Create detailed loadouts with weapons, gear, and utility items.<br>&nbsp;</li></ul><p>This progression is server-side for now. The team teased the possibility of migrating this data onto the blockchain in the future.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><div class="raw-html-embed"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">You can play this now 👀<br><br>Update your game on the Epic Games Store or get an access key in <a href="https://t.co/LdjcSys6uC">https://t.co/LdjcSys6uC</a> <a href="https://t.co/wZQGYJrtgO">pic.twitter.com/wZQGYJrtgO</a></p>— Star Atlas (Summer) 🚀☀️🌴 (@staratlas) <a href="https://twitter.com/staratlas/status/1950655204556496961?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 30, 2025</a></blockquote> <script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div><p>A new region-based matchmaking system has been implemented. At the time of writing, there are weekly game modes in the game that rotate. You earn XP mainly by playing these game modes through the matchmaking system. Solo and practice modes no longer give players real progression rewards.</p><h2>Weapon and Feature Overhauls</h2><p>Star Atlas weapons have got a major facelift. The shaders and models improved significantly, especially for the Gatling Gun and Sniper Rifle. With new custom loadouts, weapon pickups in matches were replace by ammo. You can bring a sniper rifle, but you'll need to find the right bullets.</p><p>Movement in Star Atlas feels smoother now, especially sliding. New mechanics like bunny hopping are also here. Players can fire away while gliding along walls, eliminating pesky interruptions. Wall collisions won't block your shots, and destructible objects reacts better to dynamically to damage.</p><div class="raw-html-embed"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">It's so beautiful 😍<a href="https://twitter.com/staratlas?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@staratlas</a> just had a MAJOR update for the UE5 shooter mode <br>- Progression system <br>- Graphical improvements <br>- Loadouts system <br>- Dedicated perpetual servers <br><br>This is exactly what we needed <br><br>I'll be in Paizul's Arena daily.
