Don't buy if you have a day job

Recently I got back into playing Everspace after playing it a few years back as I wanted to know why I quitted because I was a long way in and I have somewhat of a weakness for the spacesim genre. First impressions of Everspace are very good, good graphics, sound and music and initially gameplay seems fine untill... First let me tell you that Everspace is a Roguelike. What this means is that you play, die, play, die, play, die... etc. you get the idea. In between you can spend the credits you earned on upgrading your stats and ship stats which is an extensive tree so theorethically you should be better equipped to deal with your next playthrough. However you start out so pathetically weak even a few upgrades don't mean squat and even more so for a long time you start out with the same peashooters every time, so it depends a lot on luck if you get better stuff. What also doesn't help is you have a very limited sensor range, while you can spot enemies far away, you can only detect loot if you are like 20 meters away or so. Then there is the biggest annoyance, at least for me, is that your ship is so mindnumbingly slow. So you're always hitting on the afterburners to at least go a little faster but if you then happen to be bounced by enemies appearing out of nowhere you're as good as dead as the afterburners drain of the same energy source as the weapons. Perhaps I could forgive all this if progress, and my ship, was at least a lot quicker but you need to spend at least 40+ hours to get halfway. Too bad I got completely exhausted after playing through the same slog after 12 hours or so during my latest playthrough and I'm not lusting for more. So if you see videos and screenshots of Everspace and you think, yeah that looks cool and I want to play that, buy Subdivision Infinity or Rebel Galaxy Outlaw instead.

Difficult and unrewarding.

I have 26 hours into Everspace without attaining more than the most basic level of understanding in the story. The game is a confusing mishmash of exploration with little reward (I flew for four game minutes to find an out-of-the-way wrecked freighter that gave me... 2 scrap?), combat with little success (In the third parsec of sector two I got jumped by TEN Okkar and Outlaw fighters with accompanying drones?), and crafting with little result (I upgraded all my weapons only to be blown apart when the warning not to fly into a black hole came AFTER I had already crossed the event horizon, due to not having a clue what it was?) I'm fine with dying while playing a game, and I like the persistent perks, but the way this game works is annoying for the sake of being annoying. You develop a loadout that you like, which allows you to make it a little bit further into the game-- then you die and start with basic junk and your body (if you even have the perk to recover anything) is FOUR SECTORS OR MORE AWAY FROM YOU! That is about 45 minutes to an hour of gameplay just to get MAYBE one or two of the weapons you had upgraded-- which you will have replaced long before you get that far. The repair and fuel systems are a disaster. Hull repairs are done with nanobots, and you will NEVER find enough of these to be meaningful to your "run". (A run is one iteration through the game.) Sometimes enemies will damage components of your ship, When that happens, you will limp on, hating the game and yourself for playing it, until you're finally shot down. You'll never have the specific resources to actually repair something when that happens, so the best thing you can do is to auger into an asteroid immediately. Fuel is scarce for no reason, leaving you stuck in parsecs until capital ships arrive-- and you will NEVER defeat one of those. There's a story, but it only advances when you make it deeper, which means you forget previous installments by the time you get to a new one.

FTL meets Freelancer done good

This is definitelly not space simulator or story driven RPG. It's challenging space action focused game with big rogue-like elements. Everspace is more like FTL, Binding of Isaac or any other dungeon crawler with huge focus on meta progression between runs. Also crafting element from resources you find is crucial to successfully play game. Exploration of limited space sectors is where you find resources and goodies before you jump into another sector. This is not open-world, more like open limited sectors. Death and enemies are everywhere and much stronger enemier will spawn sooner or later so you can't explore sectors how long you want. Sometimes you find trader or events very similar to FTL. You MUST upgrade weapons, craft missiles, upgade shields or you die quickly and horribly ...well you die horribly very very often whatever you do. Only option is get good and try again..and again(great for masochists). Optional easy mode is also thumbs up beacause my first run ended in 10 seconds after I ehm..died horribly. If you are OK with this type of game I can easily recommend to anybody. Gameplay is pure excellence, stunning graphics, nice variety of weapons, tons of upgrades and consumables. Keyboard+mouse controlls are great. Developers really tried to balance three different ships and sufficient amount of perks which you take for each run. Each ship came with different attributes and start equipment so it will outline you differrent ways how to play this game. This variety helps you to find your own game style and I didn't find anything too much OP. Overal easy 5 stars and big recommendation. Looking forward to any updates and future projects of definitelly very talented developers from ROCKFISH Games.

Отличный рогалик

Я поставил 5 баллов по причине того, что игра предоставляет игроку все, что из себя представляет рогалик и даже больше: красивая графика, рандомные уровни (локации), сюжет. Если решитесь брать игру, то сразу берите DLC: вселенная игры становится полнее - лично у меня возникло ощущение, что я не просто пытаюсь пройти уровни, а все-таки каждый раз оказываюсь в мире, живущем по своим законам. Я говорю об ощущениях. Алгоритм незатейлив: выбираете корабль, если есть деньги, прокачиваете свои черты (характеристики перса и корабля) и вылетаете. Мир разделен на сектора, который игрок проходит постепенно, но, в свою очередь, каждый сектор разбит на локации, которые расположены последовательно на двух-трех ветвях (путях) следования. Перемещения осуществляются только вперед, вернуться в предыдущую локацию (или сектор) нельзя. Каждая локация и сектор с каждой новой попыткой пролететь генерируются заново. Сколько секторов нужно пролететь писать не буду, пусть каждый сам для себя это открывает. Но рано или поздно вы достигнете конечного сектора. Это все равно случится. Сохранение возможно только если игрок решит покинуть игру, других сохранений нет. Гибель возвращает игрока в первый сектор, вернее, в ангар, из которого игрок попадает в первый сектор и в начало пути. На ранних этапах за игроком сохраняются только кредиты, которые игрок собирает во время путешествия и таким образом гибель игрока по сюжету не возвращает его в начало сюжета - сюжет продолжается дальше. И по сюжету становится ясно, почему так. При вылете дается выбор уровня сложности: простой, обычный, сложный. По умолчанию, задуманный разрабами, полагаю, планировался обычный. Простой же - мало кредитов и всех ништяков. Сложный - много всего, но и препятствий больше.

A Beauty without meaning

Well, well, well...its a pity. This optical juwel could have been such a great space saga - stop. Did I say "saga"? Sorry. This game ist unfortunately so far away from beeing a saga how it could ever be. Because: It has nothing to tell. And where is nothing to tell, there most dont want to dwell. In fact there is litteraly no story, which simply leaves you alone with a feeling of lack of sense and kills any drive to reach new regions, find again and again the same stuff, jump...where again? The upgrade system looks good, but even there you feel like in a smartphone game, where you have to earn thousands of creadits to get something substantial. Also with the upgrade "encounters" there is much too less interaction. No allies, no identity of your own company, guild, nation, whatever. No Quests. No orders. Just looting and shooting. During the opening sequence you get two big questions, after that nothing of it is not mentioned anymore. You can play his game, if you just want to shoot at something moving in an idyllic space setting, but it probably wont catch you for long.
