Astrox Imperium is my attempt to create the space game that I wanted to play, but no one had created. I wanted a single player, open-world space game that is similar to games I enjoyed, like Homeworld and EVE, with economies, factions, and a story. A game where I could set all the parameters, and the universe would come alive with new challenges each time I played. I tried to take the best of what I liked from many of my favorite space games, and combine them into something simple but deep, familiar yet fresh, and enjoyably addicting to play.
The human struggle to survive is an all too familiar one. As the planet collapsed into an ecological depression, mankind as a whole is forced to expand his vision to the skies. A grand ship was built, and the ‘Imperium’ was scheduled to launch mankind into the future. With a new Quantum technology at its core, the Imperium was mankind’s greatest achievement. Putting aside all differences, the people of world came together. Under a common goal, the efforts of an entire generation came to fruition. The Imperium was ready to carry the dreams of us all, and with it, the hopes of finding a second chance.
The main game play loops are fairly simple, and familiar. What makes Astrox Imperium unique, is the way that you can easily glide between the various loops to maintain a nice level of progression, without it feeling any more ‘grindy’ than you want it to. Sure, you can just mine rocks if you want, but Astrox Imperium provides you many different ways to progress your pilot.
Many of the classic mechanics from the space game genre have been incorporated into Astrox Imperium. Basic interface controls were designed using elements from some RTS and FPS games. All the fan favorites and core game play elements have been included; mining, crafting, trading, refining, fleets, combat, exploration, survival, and more. This game will seem familiar to fans of the space survival / exploration game genre. Here is a list of features that are currently in the game.

Ambitious, Unfinished, & Fun.
I own this game on Steam and have enjoyed it quite a lot. You have to go into this game understanding the direction the developer is trying to take it. There is still a lot that is unfinished and unpolished, but the core of the game is rather satisfying. The greatest strength here is the very deliberate and well-thought-out gameplay loop. This game suffers from only being worked on by a single dude; I feel like a game like this needs a full staff of devs. There are some mods on the nexus, so that is good.

Chill
As someone who admittedly does not really care for space games and has never played any of the ones the dev drew inspiration from; this game is really fun. I enjoy the chill atmosphere and just being allowed to do what I want and not feel harried. I like doing the tasks and missions for money to upgrade and train skills. It's a very satisfying gameplay loop and I would definitely reccomend it.

Not recommended - possibly abandoned
tl;r: Buy on discount and only if you've got no other space games left to play. I bought this game a long time ago on a whim, just to support an indie dev. The game was in a rough shape 2 years ago and, unfortunately, not much has changed since then. This is the work of one person (which is amazing, don't get me wrong) but from what I've seen from some coding streams he did 2 years ago, he was an amateur. And that's not really a problem - people learn. But this game is very ambitious and hasn't evolved or improved. It's very, very rough around the edges. Also, looking at steam reviews, this game may be abandoned (but that's just steam, so take it with a grain of salt) Honestly, I wouldn't recommend, no matter how much of a space sim fan you are. 1 star + 1 bonus for the effort.
