EVERSPACE 2 puts you in the pilot seat in this fast-paced single-player space shooter, where vicious encounters and brutal challenges stand between you and that next epic loot drop. Explore the war-torn star systems of the Demilitarized Zone of Cluster 34—each massive handcrafted area is packed with secrets, puzzles, and perils to encounter.
Experience a thrilling sci-fi story following Adam, a clone pilot seeking his place in the universe. The events of his past tangle with clashing factions as the DMZ approaches a boiling point. Escape colonial capture, navigate the intrigues of local warlords, evade energy-maddened cultists, and fend off war-hungry aliens.
Adam will need more than wits, luck, and skill to survive—gather a team of experts to achieve his payday and finally achieve his dream of escaping the DMZ. Meet old friends and new allies, each with their own stories to tell. They will join you during missions, provide upgradable perks, unlock new abilities, and aid your path forward.
— EMBARK ON AN EXCITING JOURNEY —
Discover alien species, unveil mysteries, find hidden treasures, and defend your cargo against outlaw gangs in an exciting 30-hour campaign. Completionists can dive deep into the EVERSPACE universe and spend more than 90 hours to complete every side mission, finish every challenge, and discover every hidden secret.
— LET THE LASERS DO THE TALKING —
Annihilate your foes the EVERSPACE way. Dodge, dash, roll, and boost guns blazing into frantic dogfights, leaving a trail of space scrap behind. Use a wide range of weaponry and abilities to defeat drones, fighters, heavy bombers, and powerful gunships. But don’t get cocky! Massive capital vessels and ancient guardians will push the skills of even the most experienced pilots. Use your environment to your advantage, and gain the upper hand against greater numbers.
— EXPLORE THE GALAXY —
Enter the EVERSPACE universe and explore it at your leisure. The DMZ and surrounding areas of Cluster 34 are brimming with main and side missions, activities, events, and secrets to be uncovered. Fire up your hyperdrive to discover more than 100 unique, handcrafted locations spread across seven distinct star systems and shape your legacy among the stars.
— HAVE IT YOUR WAY —
Expand your private ship collection from a virtually endless supply of fighters composed of unique classes to optimize your build to perfection. For a price, traders throughout the cluster will help you acquire improved models or send your current ship off for storage as you try a new ship type. Cleverly combine modules, weapons, devices, and perks to fit your individual playstyle and the current mission.
— SEEK OUT SECRETS —
Clever pilots are successful pilots. Loot outlaw caches, salvageable wrecks, and ancient hidden treasures scattered throughout every explorable area of the DMZ. Search structures, solve puzzles, blow up asteroids, and restore ruins to hunt down every one of these treasures.
— EPIC LOOT AWAITS —
Hunt for improved gear to expand your arsenal of powerful equipment combinations. Look for loot that fits your playstyle, but be willing to leave your comfort zone and try something new. Be ready to find and exploit synergistic effects between equipment, perks, devices, and ships to fully maximize their potential.
— LET THE HUNT BEGIN —
Completing EVERSPACE 2’s extensive campaign is not the end! Engage in high-octane endgame High-Risk Areas and Ancient Rifts that allow you to push your build and luck to the limit against progressively harder enemies. Succeed in a run to acquire legendary gear that holds immense power and extraordinary abilities.
Honestly I didn't know what to expect coming from Everspace 2 into this game. The screen shots simply don't do it justice. It's an entirely different game. It's a AAA game from a very small studio. They've definitely punched upwards and it shows. No Micro Transactions, everything earnable in game... good story lines and good fun play loops will keep you busy for hours on end. This is what EVE Online should have been...
A greeat space looter-shooter. Reminds me of Free Lancer, or a better combat version of Rebel Galaxy (thought the trade system is better in RG). Tight flight mechanics, upgrade systems, enough lore to keep it grounded without being overbearing, and a story that, refreshlngly, doesn't involve saving the galaxy. Just you getting out of dodge, just like in the first game. The ability to customize ships is also great - the No Man's Sky I wish I had earlier.
You don't need to play the first one, but I picked it up on GOG for cheap and it was worth it to get the backstory. This game has evolved in complexity though, so don't do ES 2 then ES1...
(Would be cool to have a Mass Effect tie-in as well, would pay $ for an N7 colour scheme...)
While I loved the first Everspace with it's rogue-like gameplay loop and smooth, intense space dogfights, I always felt like I didn't make enough progress for the session length I'd put in. With this second installment, Rockfish went with a spaghetti-western feeling story and an emmensely larger prize pool of stuff to find or unlock. Plenty of side missions, destroyed ship detritus to loot through and a story that (so far I've yet to finish the damn thing) doesn't mind blind-siding you with twists and all manner of crazy stuff going on. If you like space combat with a whole lot of "dress-up" for your ships, don't miss this one! Highly Recommended!
I'm writing this review after completing the base game and the Wrath of the Ancients DLC. Don't worry, there will be no spoilers.
Yes, Everspace 2 is good. Nice fluid combat in space, which is pretty much what you'd expect from this kind of game.
It has an okay story that can get a bit boring at times, but just as many times, it offers a good twist that pulls you back in. And this time, you are playing the good guy. There are no moral dilemmas for you to choose or solve. Although there are a few actions that are somewhat questionable, they are left entirely up to you to interpret. Sure, at times this can be good, just as it can be bad, but this is not your story - this is Adam's story, and you are playing as Adam. Frankly, this is a bit refreshing among the sea of open-world, choice-matter games. The "Wrath of the Ancients" DLC continues the story at the exact point the base game ends and offers a few new, unique regions for you to explore and fight through. Which reminds me to praise the visuals. My god, the backgrounds and level designs are amazing, stunning and gorgeous! Accompanied by a spot-on soundtrack, you will lose track of time and spend hours with the game before you know it.
Enemy variety is pretty good, though after a while, once you reach max level, you can decimate entire fleets. Not a good thing, but at the same time, you feel you've earned it. A good factor for that is the variety of ship classes, devices, consumables, primary and secondary weapons combinations you can mix to get a combo that really works for you. And if you're looking for a challenge, you can always do high lunacy Reliquary runs (late game) or try to upgrade Ascendant items at the Alter (Wrath of the Ancients DLC).
I wanted to like it, tried two times, but didnt have fun. Very grindy and the damage the enemies do goes from minimal to dead in 10 seconds. Not my idea of fun.
This game is waiting for a review. Take the first shot!
