Pretty Fun, Pretty Challenging

This game is challenging. You will die, a lot, in fact it is intended. Don't get caught up on some of these reviews, death is an integral part of this game. It's one of those "get as far as you can, then upgrade" kinds of games. Every decision to explore must be balanced, are the resources you might find worth potentially getting into a fight? Should you spend your hard earned credits on repairs or horde them up? You can only spend your credits on persistent upgrades (like weapon slots or engine speed) when you die. Unfortunately this mechanic isn't really explained until after you die, so it can seem pretty frustrating if you just quit. As far as gameplay/UI/controls, think FTL crossed with a space combat sim. Flight is fluid, maybe too fluid? It feels like I occasionally drift, due to the way your pipper can move in front of the craft (it's not locked to one position). Actually picking up new weapons and gear can be a little frustrating sometimes. Graphics are great, in my opinion, and there are in-game camera tools for capturing your battles.

Wants to be 3D FTL...

... but falls short. A game should stand on its own as being a good game, and this does not. I can see where they wanted the game to be much like FTL, but FTL didn't end up screwing you over with lack of resources out of the gate. In this one... i had instances where i had an unlucky start into the game on a run, ended up having life support destroyed, no means to repair this, and then suffocated because the game wouldn't give me any Gas resources. Another run resulted in a similar situation where i got unlocky, spawned in next to an Elite Enemy and got my ship shot to pieces before I even really got into the groove... i won the fight, mind you, but not without having my ships HP down to 10% and my Innertia Dampeners destroyed. With absolutely no repair resources for 2 sectors.. That is not fun, its tedious. I love FTL, but FTL never made me feel like i didn't have a chance from the start. This game, you can get that unfortunate. The next problem is the Sensor Range. Yes, you can upgrade it, but i think the Devs should have played their blood game without upgrades, because it shouldn't take me about 3 hours into the game until i finally can start investing into sensor upgrades. Why are sensors important? Because you don't even know whats in the sector.. so you will spend hours with tedious guess work. And its not like you can even tell where the boundaries of the levels are, because because there is no radar or map. You end up being spun in 3D during dockfights and are supposed to keep track where you have been and what could possibly hold resources, with the background sometimes looking like the foreground. Its just tedious and easy to fix. The game gets so much more enjoyable when you can hack a comms sensor and see everything. No tedium. You see what's there and can make decisions based on that. Risk and reward. Not Tedium and fake challenge.

More then just arcade!

This game changed my perspective about arcade games! I did not expect how arcade style can be twisted with story line. You die a lot in this game and progressing further to the deep sectors makes typical collect to kill game, but wait here is a explanation and interesting story ahead! I did not expect that kind of story in the game! Impressed! Love this game!

Game muito interessante

Although in my opinion this game does not deserve 5 stars it is not far away, an interesting game with no pauses with a short story and on some occasions we got involved. For me it has a defect is never to die, we always come back despite being shot a hundred times; but it is tolerated. The ship's movements are quite good but only playing with mouse and keyboard, too bad the Joystick doesn't work; at least mine. Creates the desire to buy Everspace 2 to see what evolution the game has.

Bloody briliant

Hey guys, It took a while to warm up to me, I admit it. Made a couple of changes to the mouse steering (it is awful right out of the gate) and I am not sure how it passed through Q&A. Moreover it took a while for me to understand that is not your everyday game and you need to run in this game, you're on a timer. Because Rockfish Games are not EA they can afford to risk and not hold your hand. I prefer it like that since it doesn't insult my intelligence. Be prepared, you're not here to win at the start, you're here to run, a lot! Bloody brilliant game in the end, it takes a while to warm up to you and you need to give it a chance even if you're not a fan of space shooters or looter shooters. P.S - to everyone who experiences the "white screen bug", change to window mode and turn v-sync on to get over it, after that change your settings back to normal.
