Об игре
Несколько сотен лет назад чудовищный катаклизм фактически разделил вашу галактику на части — в ее центре появилось непроходимое кольцо из разорванной гиперпространственной материи, пересечь которое обычным гипердвигателям не под силу.Со времен этого происшествия никому не удавалось попасть в центральные регионы галактики. Известно лишь то, что в результате катастрофы по всей галактике образовались многочисленные непроходимые гиперпространственные разломы, и что странная инопланетная раса, ксотаны, появилась в ее центре. Похоже, эти инопланетяне нашли способ пересекать разорванную гиперпространственную материю, но никому еще не удавалось установить с ними контакт.
Ходят также слухи о странном новом металле под названием «аворион», появившемся в центре галактики примерно в то же время, что и ксотаны. Похоже, инопланетяне используют этот материал для строительства своих кораблей.
Начните свое путешествие безымянным странником на окраине галактики и проложите путь к ее сердцу. Чем ближе к центру, тем опаснее — но и ценнее награда. Avorion сочетает элементы песочницы из таких игр, как X или Freelancer, с режимом совместной игры и возможностью строить собственные корабли. Вас ждут создаваемые из свободно масштабируемых блоков корабли, которые могут быть сгенерированы процедурно, и которые рассыпаются на части от урона, полученного в космических сражениях.
Установите на свой корабль автоматические пушки, лазеры и другое оружие, чтобы бросить вызов врагам и насладиться зрелищем полностью уничтожаемых кораблей, разрушающихся в тех местах, куда вы их поразили.
Защищайте своих союзников от пиратов, охотьтесь на врагов за награду или даже участвуйте в войнах между целыми объединениями. Одержав победу, собирайте с побежденных врагов добычу и используйте ее для улучшения своего корабля: устанавливайте новые турели с особыми функциями вроде автострельбы, ремонтные лучи или системные улучшения, позволяющие вам иметь еще больше орудий. Стройте ангары и отправляйте в бой отряды истребителей или уничтожайте вражеские грузовые корабли, чтобы похитить их груз.
Летайте через красивые туманности и плотные поля астероидов в поисках спрятанных сокровищ и знакомьтесь с населяющими галактику многочисленными объединениями, контролирующими свои территории. Каждое объединение обладает собственными характеристиками — они могут быть мирными, интеллигентными или агрессивными, — а их корабли и станции имеют узнаваемый внешний вид.
Исследуйте галактику в своем собственном темпе, находите ценные товары в обломках старых кораблей; богатые ресурсами неизведанные астероидные поля; огромные астероиды, которые можно присвоить себе; или ключи к разгадке того, что случилось во время катастрофы несколько веков назад.
Размер и сложность устройства вашего корабля ограничены лишь вашим запасом ресурсов. Есть также креативный режим, где вы можете строить так, как душе угодно. В Avorion вы не привязаны к стандартному воксельному стилю и не потеряетесь в тонкостях микроменеджмента при строительстве крутого корабля.
Вы можете сосредоточиться на создании суперстильного корабля, не беспокоясь о том, что он не будет функционировать. Но всегда стоит помнить о его маневренности и потребности в энергии. Сконструируйте свой корабль в соответствии с его задачей: это может быть как легкое и маневренное исследовательское судно, так и тяжелобронированный боевой корабль с мощными щитами.
И зачем ограничиваться одним кораблем? Нанимайте капитанов для командования своим флотом, управляйте экипажами, оружием, ангарами и истребителями и постройте свою собственную армаду космических кораблей!
Дополните свой корабль грузовым трюмом, находите выгодные сделки и перевозите более сотни товаров по галактике, чтобы получить прибыль и продвинуться вверх по иерархии. Строительство флота специализированных транспортных кораблей с большим количеством места для перевозимого груза поможет вам построить торговую корпорацию.
Расширяйте свое влияние в галактике, основывая астероидные шахты и заводы для привлечения НИП-торговцев, которые будут покупать и продавать свои товары на ваших предприятиях. Устанавливайте торговые системы, находящие торговые маршруты и информацию о спросе и предложении в многочисленных секторах, и станьте богатейшим командиром галактики!
А может быть, вам надоело быть хорошим малым? Тогда нападайте на грузовые корабли, перевозите контрабандой нелегальные товары или станьте охотником за головами.
Все эти испытания не обязательно встречать в одиночку! В Avorion есть режим совместной игры — объединяйтесь с друзьями, вместе стройте станции и уничтожайте пиратов и вражеские объединения!
Второй пилот нужен всем. Вы можете управлять кораблями вместе — один из вас будет рулить, а другой стрелять из бортовых орудий. Работайте в команде, чтобы расширить свое влияние в галактике и построить свою собственную империю.
Ну, или разнесите своих друзей в клочья. Это песочница — вы можете делать здесь все, что пожелаете!
В Avorion вы сами выбираете свой стиль игры. Перевозите грузы, находите выгодные торговые пути и закладывайте фабрики. А может быть, вам надоело быть хорошим малым? Постройте свой собственный боевой корабль, снарядите его мощным вооружением и сокрушите врагов. Будьте агрессором, который начинает войны с целыми объединениями, совершайте налеты на грузовые корабли, провозите контрабандой нелегальные товары и обыскивайте старые обломки. Найдите свой путь к сердцу галактики. Чем ближе к центру, тем враждебнее окружение — но и выше награда.

Отзывы пользователей
This game is easily in my top ten. I wish dearly for a sequel that is more fleshed out. It's a huge idea that would benefit from being developed by a bigger studio assuming that studio maintained the integrity of the game's bones. It's Diablo esque in terms of looting and trying out different play styles. You get to shape your "character" (your ship) to your visual and combat preferences. It's more sandboxy than Diablo though. You can create a little trading/mining empire if you want. When you become powerful enough you can create fleets of massive ships. There's room for pretending here. Or you can just work your way to the center of the galaxy and blow things up on the way there. My major complaint is that without playing PvP on a server the end game content is lacking. Like I said above it's kind of a bare bones game. Once you get to the end there's not a whole lot to discover or surprise you. I wish the developer's had let loose a bit more and worried less about balancing the game, but I say that about most games. However, have I returned to this game multiple times, partly because the music strums deep strings in my soul.
I like space game and younger, I'd like to build spaceship in lego. This one is mostly that, with a progression curve where you unlock new material (minerals) as you get closer to the center of the galaxy, which unlock new capabilities (missile, hangar bay, shields, etc) to be able to face the enemies, who get harder at each progression. Typical recipe, you get the idea. I'm still in the middle of my first game but its one of the most enjoyable game i've played in the last years. My boy loves building spaceship with his lego, so we are rebuilding his spaceships in this game and we're able to make them look like the real thing. He just love it when we sent a fleet of all his ships, that he knows by name, against a pirate base. He would then look at those who get destroyed and try to find way the make them better. Pure fun. Ahh, there is economy, mission, faction and standing, apparently you can create your own base (maybe a faction of your own), but I didn't even get to do that yet.
Avorion is a unique space game and well worth buying. You mine ores and process them and then build your fleet block by block from the processed ores. It is combat heavy but there are quests and trading that you can do. The galaxy is very large and consists of ore tiers that you progress through. Its a great game, get it.
You can run around solo controlling one ship, or build a fleet and be totally hands off and just command them, or any mix of both. You can also build your own ships which I highly recommend, or download someone elses designs from the workshop, which ever you choose you should never forget - all designs return to cube, the ultimate form.
Amazing game. Very fun. The ship building is great too. Definitely a game to play if you enjoy space games like me.
Probably the best space game around, especially for the price. The building is incredible, the automation is well thought out, the different difficultys add great replayability, the variety of factories and ways to make money / resources keeps things fresh, and the combat is fun.
Tried it on a whim with a friend a few years back, was amazed at how incredibly fun it was. Played it all the way through.
A few years later, got the itch again and dragged a load of new friends on it. They all love it, we're playing a second playthrough and are at the final boss again. We have also discussed doing a separate playthrough on much harder difficulty. Some of these people didn't like the game at all when looking at the store page, and went from pleasantly surprised to totally addicted.
I cannot recommend this game enough.
I actually think this might be one of the most fun games ever made. It's essentially Minecraft meets diablo set in space.
It's a looter shooter that lets you build your own ships. You control huge factions of ships. It's far simpler than elite dangerous or the X series but it's more complex than no man's sky.
10/10 please make a sequel
i ADORE the automation and that they let you build your own empire, your own ships, your own fleets, your own stations, this part of the game is amazing. the trading is also great, with supply and demand, great trading quests that reward you very handsomely so you can get rich quickly that way. i love the combat, it feels fulfilling and enjoyable, but there is a lack of turret variety. the game has fairly nice graphics but certain textures are horrendous, luckily these can be fixed by mods. the shadows tend to get extremely wonky when you place a slope on a slope.
These are my issues with the game
The ship builder is not intuitive at all, you can build working ships somewhat easily but to make them look ok you will have to spend hours of your time and have significant skill. it does not respect your time. Luckily there is an abundance of excellent looking ships on the workshop.
The game does NOT let you have true freedom. it is lacking customization. you cant remove blocks from the game like removing all shield generators. you cant edit the game or the settings past the basics. you cant make your own name ingame, instead you are forced to use your steam username, i really dislike that. let me make something cool
i love this game but i sorely wish it let you have true freedom, none of these games seem to just give you true freedom.
theres no circles at all why? why no circles?
I love Avorion, Honestly this game deserves far more recognition than it receives.
From ship building, to combat, to crafting space stations, and merchant commerce, this game has such a wide variety of content.
This is a great space sandbox game, I've enjoyed it both in single player and on a private server.
It has ARPG style tiered loot collecting, with rarity tiers for weapons and such. And it has Egosoft / X-series style industry and economy. The economy isn't fully "alive" but it does model supply and demand as you build and destroy factories.. and it has a lot of side quests and boss fights at each stage of the game to keep you busy.
The ship building is pretty basic, not like Space Engineers or anything like that. But simple and to the point, you can get creative or you can fly a brick.
I am really impressed at how long the developers have kept supplying updates, and it still get patches after all these years. It is one of the games I keep coming back to every so often to play around in the sandbox a little more.
This game got me through the covid lockdowns, well this and vodka.
space ship minecraft. with lots of options.
It's like Roblox.
you need a flair for designing your own ships and spend HOURS in the ship build mode to make a decently looking ship.
while the game looks fun and was relatively interesting the game starts off with getting you killed, and no option of backing out.
but the biggest thing that made me request a refund is.. the game REFUSES to change your name.
it fetches your steam profile name, and sticks you with it.
if your name is in traditional Japanese and you play with English Language it changes your name to [][][][].
if you try changing your name in the settings.ini file in the appdata, the game crashes outright.
i don't know about you but i have NEVER changed my steam name, and if the game can't support it, or allow me to change the name to what i want, it can get lost, i won't play a game it a name of "[][][][]"
other then that, the game bugged out ALOT
1 of the major bugs i encountered was during the mission named "search and rescue" when i entered the 2nd location marked with a " ! " in the block, my ship would explode, for no reason, no ship shooting me, nothing in range, my ship hp / energy all good, no enemy's in the sector, and once the jump exhaustion expired but it would just.. blow up.. BOOM.
and had other missions that had similar bugs or outright CTD's
:edited ; spelling mistakes
I have no idea why this game is not better known but it is absolutely fantastic. i am totally addicted and cant get enough. unlimited creativity a good interface its just amazing , they need to advertise better or maybe put some better artwork on the selling end because i cannot imagine why millions of people would not really love this game. 100/100

While I did briefly enjoy the creative freedom in spaceship design thanks to Avorion's dynamicaly scaleable building block system. However everything else about the game made me nostalgic for EVE Online; but in a bad way. Avorion felt empty and soul-less, but strangely also felt bland and cute in a kind of low-pixel voxel way. This game is probably fun and worth a deep dive with a group of friends playing online together. But personally I see myself much more likely to return to EVE Online than to ever play Avorion again.
I used to play Eve Online, and from time to time I feel like going back to scratch a certain itch.
I also played space engineers for a while but found it was missing something.
This game manages to take a significant portion of what I like about Eve, and add in most of what I like about space engineers - and scratches both itches at the same time!
My only wish - was that the ships on the workshop were more carefully curated. The game is regularly udpated, which is great except it means that half the ships on the workshop are no longer properly optimised for the latest changes which makes selecting one of the many beautifully created player made ships difficult.
The graphics are basic, which to me is a double edged sword. It means it runs well on lower spec systems I imagine, but at the same time it could be a more beautiful game. That being said, it isn't a bad looking game by any stretch - in some ways the blocky asthetic has an appeal of its own, but exploring space should feel awe inspiring.
Very good game with lots of depth - highly reccomend if you enjoy space combat / trading / exploration games and/or if you enjoy space engineers.
TL; DR: Minecraft and spaceships - If you like either of those, this is for you.
If you always need the most recent, most fancy graphics then it isn't.
Graphics are decent, but could be better. But that is not what the game is about.
Pros:
Customize spaceships down to the smallest block. Even turrets can be custom.
Nice gameplay.
Fights are fun if you turn up the difficulty level.
You can - but don't have to - own and manage multiple ships and space stations.
Cons:
Production system is half baked and has a lot to ask for.
Trading is botched to the point I consider it broken (but there are other ways to earn money).
Resource management is largely inconsistent and in dire need for an overhaul.
Way, Waaay. Too. Focking. Many encounters. Can't salvage a dead spacehsip for five bloody minutes before the next set of little buggers come along and add their crappy spacecraft to the pile of junk you're already scavenging.
I love this I love space I love everything this is awesome this is maybe the greatest thing ever, that's not even ridiculous to say.
"X-series with multiplayer" and better in mostly all aspects, except the story and graphics!
A minecraft in space voxel game with the goal of building custom ships to explore, mine, trade or blast away other ships into tinier blocks!
If replicating a ship from popular media is a challenge, check the steam workshop for inspiration. As a bonus, these ships can be downgraded based on the type of mineral needed.
There's more I could elaborate on, but I'll leave that for the reader to look into.
This game has all the basics for a space economy & exploration game and then on top of that the custom building for ships, stations and turrets.
I was genuinely surprised by how much was possible despite the highly customisable builds (i.e. boarding, internal hangars, docking stations together into larger super structures) as well as one of the largest maps imaginable (1000x1000 sectors, impossible to visit them all).
It allows you to get into it as much as you want but also stay on a more superficial level with magnificent workshop ship & station designs in case you don't want to spend hours on a detailed build and an easily usable yet complex economy.
The only downside I see is the command system:
You can give your ships orders within a sector (and, due to engine limitations, only from within the sector) like patrolling or mining that particular sector.
On the other side you can send them on operations, usually commands like trading or mining within a region. These don't last forever though and have to manually be restarted.
In general, this system is still absolutely fine for me personally and I'd still recommend it even if you like more complex command structures, but it does prevent the player from building entirely autonomous fleets like you might expect from similar games, so don't play the game just for that.
Picked this up recently after having stumbled on it in steam, The game depth is really incredible, and whilst i dont believe the trailer video does it justice the games pretty good so far,
Avorion is a great space builder sandbox. I use it to relax. It's great. Just do it.
I played a couple hours with a friend, and I like it a lot. It seems like the space game I was always looking for.
The ship building is a bit like Space Engineers, obviously, but then the game has elements that feel a lot more like Elite Dangerous, EVE Online or the X series. The procedurally generated galaxy feels believable and exploring is a lot of fun. The galaxy is split into 2D sectors that have X and Y coordinates, which makes the star map so much more manageable compared to other games. In the sectors themselves, there is no definitive up or down, which I like as well. In order to dock to a station, you simply fly close to it. This is something that always felt clunky in other games.
From a technical standpoint the game is very well crafted. It runs very well and it features a native Linux build as well. We had no issues at all.
If you don't like the ship building part, you can simply get ships from the Workshop without restarting the game. A lot of people make entire progression series with cool looking ships, so there is no need to learn the admittedly somewhat cumbersome build system.
Brand new player, no mods installed, figuring this out as I go. I start a new world and tutorial goes about how I expect until I get to the part where it says "Enter your ship to continue" and none of the binds work. I restarted the tutorial and got stuck at the same place twice. I even reset my keybinds back to what the game expects, having not even had custom keybinds setup. So here I am flying around in my "drone" looking at a ship I cannot enter, TWICE. There is either a bug or just..................... I dont know. I want to enjoy this game, I picked it up on the winter sale and its kinda disappointing that a progression blocker like this forbids me from getting started on this journey.
Ive built two ships now, none of which I can pilot or progress my tutorial. I gave up on the tutorial and I'm starting fresh, I can enter my ship just fine if I skip the tutorial entirely, but its still important that some dev somewhere sees this... so I guess I have to rate this game thumbs down until this gets fixed and maybe I'll restore this rating.
Hooked.... space exploration, mining, bounty hunting, trading, building...... Been looking for something just like this. Perfect, thank you!!
Just a really great game, kinda like if Elite Dangerous and Minecraft had a baby.
Avorion: Build Your Dream Ship, Then Watch It Explode
Review:
After 800 hours in Avorion, I can say it’s less of a game and more of a galaxy-wide experiment in how much chaos you can manage before something (or everything) explodes. One moment, you’re peacefully building the sleekest ship you’ve ever designed. The next, pirates show up, and your “masterpiece” is now a floating pile of debris. This game will test your creativity, your patience, and your ability to laugh at your inevitable disasters.
Pros:
- Shipbuilding: The possibilities are endless. Want a war machine? A flying toaster? Both are valid. Either way, it’ll probably explode.
- Exploration: A massive galaxy filled with treasures, traps, and factions who seem to hate you for existing.
- Combat: Space battles that make you feel unstoppable—until an asteroid stops you.
- Trading: Buy low, sell high, and pray pirates don’t tax you with lasers.
Cons:
- Learning Curve: The tutorial teaches you how to build a ship but doesn’t prepare you for why you’ll need a backup.
- Crew Management: Your crew will abandon ship if you forget to pay them, making you wonder who’s really in charge.
[*] Time Warp: Start playing at 8 p.m., and the next thing you know, it’s sunrise.
Final Thoughts:
Avorion isn’t just about winning—it’s about failing spectacularly, laughing at your mistakes, and coming back for more. It’s the perfect mix of creativity and chaos, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Rating: 9/10 – "Exploded twice. Still smiling :)"
Note: No spacefaring whales were harmed in the making of this review.
I was very surprised at how great this game was. It feels like Eve Online, but with more direct controls and different combat. I'd highly recommend it for any Eve Players or people who like space games.
Vast space that feels alive, where you feel like you are actually a part of the in-game world. Some game mechanic choices may be questionable, but you can't really please everyone at once, plus, the game is still being developed.
321h fun, but sad thing, non of my so named friends play it. So shut down my Avorion server and deleted the game. Is the game good, YES it is fantastic. One of the best sandbox space games.
One of the standout features of Avorion is the ship-building mechanic. The game allows you to design and customize your ships using dynamically scalable blocks, giving you the freedom to create vessels that are both functional and visually unique. Whether you prefer sleek, streamlined ships or bulky, heavily armed behemoths, Avorion lets you bring your vision to life.
Travelling anywhere takes an excessively long time. I'd rather player a game that respects my time.
I've had a lot of fun with the game, up to a point. Reaching mid-game (around the trinium/xanion stage), the game's pace slowed down and gameplay became more tedious. Additionally, the game started running into performance issues - stuttering grew frequent, especially during fights (which started dragging out). My game would even sometimes freeze up when switching menus and such.
I've had a lot of fun with the 70 hours I've spent on Avorion, but it's sad to see it losing its charm after reaching the point I did.
Tedious and boring as all hell and only gets worse with each update. Enemies are still random shaped garbage that die within seconds. Fighters are completely useless for mining/salvaging requiring that you be so close to the object being harvested you might as well do it yourself and you have to stay in range while they work, so again you might as well do it yourself. Had high hopes for this game but it has had more than enough time to make something of itself and yet it only gets worse and worse. Moving on and so should you.
A fun, engaging game simple enough to run on a potato that still looks great. If you enjoy the space-empire genre, you're probably going to enjoy Avorion.
This is a very nice game that still often gets updated by the defs after it launched few years back. love it and enjoyed it.
This game gets so many things right. There's pretty much always something interesting going on, difficulty scales as time goes by, just too much to go into at the moment. This is the Minecraft version of Starsector's Terraria. A bit chunkier and more technical, and more open-ended. Battles are far less hands-on and more sit-back-and-watch. The player-made models for the game are stunningly gorgeous. The developer-made ones are eyesores compared to what the Workshop contains, frankly. I'd agree with the judgment that the vanilla game side quests become repetitive. I'm looking forward to another playthrough with Workshop quests enabled.
Ever since they changed the UI years ago it killed the game for me.
it removed a useful feature and i no longer had the will power to play the game.
the game play was kinda dull but the UI feature helped keep track of on board resources.
if i remember right it was removed as "Clutter" instead of giving us a toggle for it.
The "tutorial" is so useless and bare bones that it barely exists. Another game by a dev that firmly believes in "figure it out your self". And I'm utterly done with that design approach. No. I won't. Respect my time please.
While the game seems promising on the surface and does have a wide swathe of features and content, the game also suffers from having too much to do; there's virtually no direction. To add insult to injury, the tutorials are both long and uninformative. Outside of that, the user interface is unwieldy and slow, the controls are unnecessarily complicated, and the learning curve insane. My biggest issues are with the shipbuilder, which lacks QoL features like rescaling or moving parts after they are placed. It also, despite being based on a grid, doesn't allow you to easily place different size parts flush to each other.
It has a bit of a learning curve, but once you get rolling it is a very enjoyable game. I've put 100+ hours into it and there's still plenty more content and fun to be had. Sure, there are some weird design quirks here and there, but all in all it's very fun and worth purchasing.
I am amazed how the game have evolved over the time! It may look complicated from the start, but it is worth figuring out.
Let me make this clear right from the get-go, I love the game’s concept. I’ve been playing for four years minimum and have 4.3k+ hours on it. Got a small armada of ships on the workshop, have had several survival worlds, etc.
That said, right now I can’t recommend it. The developers have proven completely oblivious to what the game actually needs. They’ve made a series of updates and changes that nobody has asked for, yet at the same time ignore the things that EVERYONE has asked for. Updates have had a nasty habit of breaking mods for years, but the devs have never tried to fix it. The latest stunt they've preformed is killing the build system through adding unecessary limitations, and in the process breaking a number of older ships. If they're trying to kill their own game they're making stunning progress, otherwise it appears they've got their heads in the sand and like it.
Maybe by some miracle that’ll change in the future. But for now you’ll be better of spending money on games like Space Engineers or Starship Evo.
I've had fun playing the game (Solo), for another 100h over what Steam shows so almost 200. It was a good occupation for several weeks, that makes it great value and I can't leave a negative review based on that alone. I actually enjoyed the Rift DLC contrary to most, as it introduced some difficulty, variety and interest in an otherwise dull package.
Avorion's strength is the ship/station building + upgrade, block by block and therefore the associated decontruction with weapons. It's not always easy to do what you want as to me the editor lacks intuitiveness and QoL.
Unfortunately this would also be its only appeal.
Now to be objective & fair I have to compare it to similar games like X4 and Avorion is seriously lacking in many aspects. The world while very big is completely static and dead, nothing changes, no stations are built, the economy is fake, factions are faceless no personality no interaction with the same generic missions... a simple sandbox where you are the only one with a shovel. That includes the plot, just a pretext to send you to the center of the galaxy. The music is not memorable. Pirates seem to be infinite and you have no impact whatsoever. Combat is fine.
I've also found the weapons to be quite unbalanced where some types are clearly superior to others, and if you manage to find a really good turret blueprint in a factory (modifiers + high rolls) the interest of loot will severely be decreased as you probably won't get an upgrade for dozens of hours, and it will most likely come from another factory blueprint. Other than the building aspect the only thing that Avorion has over its competition is the performance, much better on the cpu side since there is not that much to be simulated.
This should help you determine if this game is for you.
Construct, combat, minor management, customize spaceship. Yum. Chill slow, low volume entertainment.
Great game you can make your own trade empire but i wish it has game pad suppport
really fun sandbox / creation / galaxy domination game. Can be really fun to run a small community server and work together.
