More than just a pretty space!

I bought into Everspace during the alpha which does mean I don't have the DRM free lovliness of GoG however that doesn't alter the way the game plays in any way which should be the point of a review. Visually the game is very appealing to look at and the devs are making good use of UE4 as the screenshots show. When your ship takes damage it starts to smoke and looks battlescarred if you're playing in third person while internally displays will flicker and fade and the canopy gets ominous cracks forming in it. The basic loop of gameplay is jumping into a sector, killing what needs to be killed, looting what you can find and getting out before the bad guys arrive which happens after a certain amount of time. To aid you in this you can craft scanner probes which will highlight all the collectibles in that zone. Usually these are spaced out in such a way that you have to consider which ones are more vital. Upgrades can be found this way but more often that comes from the remains of enemy ships. There are also blueprints, that carry over, which allow you to craft systems if you have the stuff needed. Everything can be salvaged so while the raw materials may not be there at first glance it's not as big of a hurdle as it may seem. Combat can be tricky at first when you start off but does become easier once a kill order is worked out. If you have shields then beam ships are a priority where as if you're going down the shieldless route then the physical damage dealers become more important. It may just because I enjoy space games but I find the "death levelling" in Everspace to be far more enjoyable than in Rogue Legacy, still haven't put my finger on why though. By death levelling I mean the process of buying perks. After a run is over you can spend your earnings on the perks before strapping in and keeping going. It can take a few runs before results really start to show but the basic tier of perks that are open to a player includes one that boosts income.

Good game. Def get it if on sale.

I have this on steam. It ran fantastically. This was a good game. Definitely a very nice looking game and it had a lot of great things going for it: The combat was intense The ships(different kinds to choose from, a unlock as you go kind of game) looked great and had different playstyles Multiple kinds of weapons/tech to use Intriguing story(albiet very narrow once you know what's going on but a headscratcher until the end) Environments were very well done. The "skybox" looks fantastic. There's debris everywhere to explore. Even black holes and alien entities. My biggest problem with the game was the combat and how the game handled progression: When you start the game, u enter ur ship and go into a randomly spawned area where you fly around and kill bad guys, find upgrades, etc, then you leave that zone to go to the next one. All good but my problem is if you take too long bad guy fleets show up and can basically obliterate you. So you're FORCED to leave the area even if you haven't found everything yet. I didn't like that. To top it off, AI are very accurate. It doesn't matter how you bob/weave you can not escape the weapons onslaught and your shields are instantly gone along with half ur hull. I found the best(and rather OP tbh) build was to play "sniper" and kill them from long distance cuz frankly dog fighting late game was akin to suicide. So VERY nice n' fun game it just had some downsides. If u like space shooters like Freelancer, you'll probably like this game. Get it on sale and try it out. I wouldn't pay more than $15 for it though tbh.

To rogue like for me

Okay i did get the game for free after buying $20 in games. But this game is to dam hard even on easy. The tutorial doesn't even help that much at the begining and doesn't explain factions that well till after i shot at a crate and get blasted and killed within 30 seconds and this was on the first run. Plus being chased by more powerful baddies at the very start that has more powerful ships. It also doesn't explain the whole leveling up and what happens when you die. Including losing everything that you get in each run. And putting the game on easy just slows the prgression and doesn't change the enemies at all. Sorry but this game isn't for me. The game however is amazingly beautiful and runs great. Not sure about the story as i quit after my 3rd run

Good, not perfect, blend of genres

Everspace is a bit hard to define, because it puts a spin on the classic space combat game making it random with persistent upgrades like in Rogue Legacy. That works mostly, as the gameplay is varied and you will never really know what to expect, but the mid game grind gets really really tiresome, as you cannot really speedrun (you really need fuel) so it takes almost an hour to get to the first guardian.

Dying is part of the story !!

This game is beautiful... the colors, the explosions, the ships, and also the creatures, if you get the DLC. The enemies are not dumb at all !! The AI is very well made, and different between enemies. A drone will attack directly without avoiding fire, but a ship will evade a lot and will always search to get your back. Enemy ships firepower/resistance will almost match (or surpass) the one of yours. This and the fact that you will be always outnumbered is what makes the game difficult (and rewarding). You WILL die. Losing every material and things you collected/constructed during the session, BUT you can still spend your money for upgrades that will stay there forever, making your next play easier. (A very similar concept that is in the game Risk of Rain) Your fist play sessions will be of like 5/10 minutes, but after some deaths will become even 70 mins and more. Also every time you'll reach a new sector, a part of the story becomes clear... even the reason why you remember all your deaths...
