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.

Don't be fooled. This isn't single player EVE.
Nether does it have any similarities to Homeworld like the developer claims. This game feels like someone tried very hard to make a single player EVE. But the mechanics were dumbed down so much, it ended up being a mindless Idle game. Mining as well as every mission I've encountered has the exact same exceedingly simple formula; undock go to objective by double clicking wait press appropriate button for objective wait return home Even the combat is like this. There is no thought, tactics or strategy. Just click on a ship. Turn on your weapons. And. Wait. Yet. Again. The amount of downtime due to travel is absurd. Most other space-sims gets around this with mechanics like 'space highways' (freelancer) or warp drives/cruising speeds/time dilation. This game has a button that doubles your snails pace and a menu slider that speeds up the entire game. This is a very clunky solution, the menu slider speeds up/slows down everything! Not just travel time. Having to go into the menu settings to adjusting up and down depending on what I'm doing every so often does not please me. The real confounding thing, though, is that even though getting anywhere feels like it takes forever, the areas are tiny! You can basically zoom out and see everything right when you jump into a new area. Then it's time for a rousing 20 minute game of scan every object without moving and inch, oh boy! It's very obvious this game is early in its development. Can it become any good down the line? Of course, but it still needs a ton of work. Wait until release before giving it a try.
