About this game
Academy: Tau Ceti II is Pete Cooke’s follow-up to the earlier Tau Ceti experience, shifting the setting to an academy for advanced piloting. Players take the role of a student and must complete 20 simulated missions across a variety of planets.
Each mission is self-contained, using the structure and themes of Tau Ceti without carrying the consequences of earlier decisions into later scenarios. This makes mission management less complex while still allowing players to customize their ships, including choosing their names.
Ships are controlled from a first-person perspective as they skim across planetary surfaces. Most missions focus on destroying rogue robots, while docking with buildings is necessary to refuel or travel to another planet.
