EVERSPACE™

a lot of fun. great arcade-style space combat flight game. it was very difficult to get my controller set up, but besides that, I have nothing else negative to say in ~6 hours of play. sometimes the RNG sucks, but that comes with the roguelike element. no reason I wouldn't recommend this, but if you're set on playing with a controller, expect a big hassle.

Very fun spaceship fighting game

Fun enough

8/10 - Extra fast looter-shooter (well, in space ;))

Everspace is a super fast rouge-like "flight-simulator", with beautiful graphics, that i really enjoyed. It is in fact one of my favorite games in this genre.

Positive:
- Super fast shooter
- random generated levels
- RPG-isch
- AAA Visuals
- Controller-Support
- fitting soundtracks
- all ships have their own special skills and battle-tactics

Negative:
- Not enough ships to choose from
- gets boring to quick
- id love more hidden secrets or something to keep me playing
- feels grindy immediately (yes i know, rouge-like)

genuine fun space sim, could use some minor upgrades and higher compatibility for apple ios users, but overall 5 stars, great!

I can't recommend. It's OK, nothing special. Yay space, but that's about it.

starts a run
dies
starts another run
dies at sector 2
10/10

Not even worth wasting hard drive space. Confusing HUD. The pilot seat has the size of a tennis court. No speed adjustment, only forward and boost which you have to keep pressed. Failed 8 times to pass the tutorial. Horrible stearing. Was even looking up the credits to have a look who made this what never happened before. Maybe it's me, but I will not wasting more time figuring it out.
I play Elite Dangerous in VR and and the gap in comparison is from the bubble to colonia and back.

honestly super fun the best way to experience this gem is by muting the music and throwing on a guardians of the galaxy playlist

Decent but grindy. Enemy and weapon variety is quite limited, and the story is a bit too generic and hence bland, but overall a fairly polished experience. I enjoy space sims in general, so this gets my biased recommend.

its a space rogue like and you can play the second one right now but i don't know about that one, this is good though

Really fun and entertaining. More primary weapons would be nice though.

Hostile NPC's approach so closely to the player ship that the player has difficulty tracking them as they orbit in random directions and speeds. Poor basic game design.

It's WORTH IT, even if you have already played Everspace 2. SO MUCH FUN!

its fun

i just cant like the Everspace its too repetitive to finish the game just like a work disquise as a game, i though that i will find a game like freelancer where you could grind by doing some mission then upgrading your ship while enjoy the story , but its a rouge like space fight where you die endlessly for like 5 minutes story

I never liked such type of games, that you do the same thing over and over again.
But as I grow old, have kids, wife and less time, I do start to appreciate those games.

Everspace is the perfect space casual game.
Graphics are good. You do the same over and over again, but still there is progress. You can have a short session of fun. You don't have to remember complex story. Shoot shoot shoot. Controller or mouse+keyboard, you are covered.

It doesn’t reach for the stars as a roguelike, but Everspace’s strong visuals and feel make it a journey to remember nonetheless.

Biggest positives:
+ It’s fun to make the spaceships fight
+ Gorgeous cosmic skyboxes

Other notes:
- Doesn’t take long for collecting pickups to become a chore

472 hours in I can definately recommend this game.
Do you like investing time in roguelike development?
Slow but sure improvement, lots of random unfariness.
A hardcore mode that is not even remotely fair.
full 3D goggles support.
Great game

vr is a bit tricky at first but once you get your head around 6 dof its great :)

Its worth the price

Absolutely fun game play, and the graphics are absolutely awesome, even after 8 years (!, 2017 is already that far back) but it won't kill your power bill, even under epic graphics settings.
I either suck at this game or it is hard, I think both might be accurate. It's never really unfair, sometimes the swarms of enemies is simply overwhelming, I thought I could beat a mk2 corvette (missing a ARC-10 and spamming 8 plasma torpedoes _nearly_ did the trick), or I thought I can get the dark matter from a black hole without a teleporter. Did the latter far too often.

Got it really cheap a while ago, and I'm going to buy the DLC on the next sale.
I started off with ES2, which is also a fun game, but I'm astounded that they have the same name, it's like comparing apples and pears. Both are excellent. Can absolutely recommend both.

Good game

Don't bother for VR, you can't see the targets on the hud, they briefly appear and then disappear when you turn to face them making it impossible to play.

Its strange to me that the ratings for this game have gone from very positive to mostly positive over the years and mixed recent reviews despite the game not changing at all. It seems that people may be judging this game through a different lens now but I do not know what that would be. Regardless while this game isn't perfect its a beautifully crafted fun little arcade space rogue-like. The game play is great and perfect for sitting down and going through a few sectors for short sessions, upgrading your ship and unlocking new load outs and abilities in subsequent runs. Something I noticed playing this vs other rogue-likes is I never really get upset when I die in this one, it always feels deserved. Whether I took on an Okkar Corvette thinking I was stronger than I was or I stumble upon an ancient alien being that zaps me from existence because I got too curious, its all part of the experience and you spend your credits upgrading one of the 4 unique ships and start again to stumble upon new things. There's definitely some FTL inspiration here but its not nearly as punishing (not to say this game can't be pretty challenging). If you don't like rogue like games this will not be for you. But if you want a time killer that will immerse you and take you on some great adventures then this is definitely worth a meager $20. As a side note the $10 DLC is highly recommended and adds even more replayability although it definitely could've been a free update.

Once again Steam forces us into black and white. This is a good game for what it is, and I will continue to play it. But issues with its rugged devotion to the rogue-like trend and the DLC/pricing stop it from reaching its full potential. The game feels barebones without the DLC and then when you get it all of the sudden you have story, it feels like the way the game was meant to be played. It's a shame they locked it behind a paywall. Wish I could give a thumbs up on this one but can't.

Really fun game. Much better than the second one.

Fun space sim x roguelite dungeon crawler (no it's not a simulator, its space fantasy starfighter game like bsg/star wars)
i.e. dynamically generated 3D open nothingness with a cool skybox, and asteroids, and a few space stations + enemies.
Simple WASD arcade flight controls, you can strafe around in space head to head, so I guess it's 6dof enough,
Wing Commander shields + hull healthpools, guns and missiles.
It's not very deep though.
The plot doesn't keep you on the edge of your seat, since after all that dying I forgot about the motivation of the main character, you play as clone each time you die. I'm getting bored after 20 hours.

Playing everspace again?

Easily the prettiest space action rogue-lite I've ever played.

good game

Good game

definitely yes!
Everyone who enjoys a combat space sim must play this rogue style game. It is simple but surprisingly challenging.

Needs some tinkering to stop stuttering, outside of that decent game on sale. Good game tho so it's a good buy!

I HATE ROGUELIKES
with that in mind Is it worth full retail no
Is it worth 20$ for the base game + encounters yes
the 3 annoyances i have with this game are
You NEED to turn your mouse dpi AND in game sensitivity way the hell down
there is a clear winner among the 4 ships and 1 that is just bad
the progression on the dlc quests is incredibly uneven


the game play loop sound design and even the story are all quite nice 8/10 do recommend
(the sequel is not so great)

I believe its is a bad game development when you start game hard mode, and then while upgrading your "illusion of progress" and then after a while of repetative "progress" getting better ship- according to game, and improving your own skills, have harder and harder time getting same progress done as you did initially. I see developer screwing up my gameplay by having ships ported randomly about instance im in. And doing absolutely no damage with guns that did a ton when trying them out first time. If i play normal mode there is hardly any action. Playing easy mode there are literally maps with no targets to shoot other then few rocks that give already stacked up useless resource that will never get used. Its waste of my fun, and waste of developers work. Well its closer to being annoying than any eventulal fun event. Basically thanks for scam is all i can say. Learn how to code so that games that are produced actually work, instead of being unstable as the people that make them. Its stupid that you have to play a game where all sence of achieving anything is taken away by "developers" induced sense that you were let to win/progress or whatever it is believed to be achieved. Its one or none bool's world any they think they will find some 3rd value. I don't understand why developers do this. Selling a scam to scam themselves. Thanks but no thanks. I payed to be made angry. I can only hope there is carma to settle this, im not sorry to say load of crap.

The ship is hard to control and the gameplay was not compelling. There is nothing about this game that makes me want to keep trying.

Wow are the controls awful event with M+K. Go play Chorus insted, that is loads of fun and you can make use of you controller as well...

na

I've read the negative reviews for this game and my conclusion is skill issue

The first time I encountered an Ancient I managed to kill it and then it spawned a black hole on death and killed me too.

11/10 peak gaming

I guess it's some sort of prank to give you so terrible controls and to throw a bunch of attackers into your face.

купил этот тайтл потому что в свое время играл в galaxy on fire 2.
в целом, классный рогалик, сложность сложная.
из-за "скрытого" таймера, всегда есть мотивация побыстрее свалить на след локацию )

Story, Characters, Handling, Crafting/Upgrading
all good fun

A roguelite space shooter, why not… but controls are awful, neither arcade nor simulation.
Messy fights without warnings, and I got my sensors burst off on my first run, it was just 30 minutes of being bored and fleeing invisible targets.

I would love to recommend this, it came so close.
It's a roguelite where you are in a spaceship and do dogfights and stuff.
Gives me big descent 3 vibes, just that it's open space and not mines.
And mostly it is fine.
But the game has two things that destroy my liking of it and double handedly change this from a recommend to a do not recommend.
Firstly is the fuel. You need special fuel to travel between systems. That would be fine. That fuel being rather rare would also be fine. But in most of my attempts, the fuel was not just rare, it was non-existant. ONCE, yes, a single time, I found one of those fuel rocks from the tutorial. Exactly one time in 5 hours of play. In the other attempts there were sometimes vendors that sold way too little fuel. You will run out and that may be the end of your run.
Second is the enforced time limit. Spend too long in a level, likely in the search of fuel, and enemies spawn that quickly kill you.

If either fuel was just rare instead of the stuff of legend, or if you actually got to fullly explore the areas with no time limit and perhaps find more of those fuel rocks, this would likely have been a recommend.
As it is, I'm glad I got it on winter sale for a buck, because then I can say it's well worth it, but I'd be pssed if I paid full price

Rogue-like == time-waste. Everything is repetitive.

You think you've played for 100 hours, but actually you just repeated a same 10-minute segment 600 times.
They seem to have created an entire game, but actually, its 1/600 with Ctrl+C Ctrl+V 600 times.

However, if -95%, fine.

Very easy to get suck into the game. This random dungeon generator in space plays well and looks great.
