Perihelion Interactive’s Kickstarter campaign has been a success as the project has raised over $500,000 for its co-op based space RPG, The Mandate. With more pledges coming in and days left of the campaign still, there’s hope the added funds will be used to include more features in the core game. For more information or to offer some support whilst you can, head on over to the official The Mandate Kickstarter campaign page.

About The Mandate:

The Mandate is a six-player, cooperative, sandbox sci-fi RPG, planned for release Q1 2015 on Windows, Mac and Linux. Set in a dystopian future controlled by a Russian Empire inspired by the Tsars of history, you take on the role of a captain at the helm of an evolving, dynamic ship that a crew of hundreds call home. As captain, you’ll command a crew of officers selected and honed by you, taking them into epic space battles, boarding operations and galaxy exploration. Whilst epic in scale, The Mandate takes the concept of sci-fi RPGs to the next level by rooting the drama in your relationship with the crew – they and the galaxy map will adapt and react to the strategic choices you make, the battles you win… and those that you lose.
