Everspace 2

[Steampunk]

and here's a link to their kickstarter where the devs explain more about the game.

It sounds like they are going from an arcade space sim rogue-style game to an arcade space sim RPG with an open world format. If you enjoyed the first one, this looks better.

looks sweet, also just tried the original one recently and enjoyed it

Just to remind the Kickstarter ends in a few hours. It is fully funded

Lovely! This is one of those polished indie titles that puts supposed "AAA" publishers to shame. The new improved version 2 is going to be something to look forwards to.

 

[StriderX]

Haven’t backed anything realistically since Star Citizen which I gave up waiting for, I got my money back on that though and then some.

(still hopeful that actually comes to fruition, but I have no stake in it)

 

[Reppyboyo]

I really should finish the first one.

Has anyone bought this? I don't usually do EA, but desperate for a decent space game and it's getting incredibly postive reviews on Steam already....

 

[Malevolence]

Will be grabbing it at some time, but I picked up the first one in the sale a few weeks back and want to get that finished first.

Bought this on an impulse despite the high price for EA. Didn’t get on with the first but this got me hooked after getting to grips with the controls. 15 hours later and what a game! considering it’s not finished I’m super impressed with it and had great fun upgrading my ship. Looking forward to some updates, just a little annoying that it will wipe the saves, which I guess is normal but still.

Just bought this but am yet to try it! I'm looking forward to it though, looks right up my street.

 

[GBRusty]

Yup. I first thought it's exactly like the first one (which I loved) but it changes into a proper story quite quickly.

The missions are not that varied but it's fun upgrading your ship and trying out the puzzles.

Mack off of Worth a Buy did a good video on it. Echoed my thoughts exactly.

I'm interested in it, do like a good space shooter, even if it's arcadey.... £31 a little steep for Early Access is it not though?

 

[Adzassin]

I thought so to and was definately a gamble for me as i dont really play early access stuff. But actually had a great time for 15 hours until i got to where the story ends for now, and had farmed some gear for my ship. Then everything became easy as content ran out and 14 is the max level for now. It seems like thats just a quarter or so of the game so plenty more to be added.

Surprised no one is talking about this game. People on steam saying it is like Freelancer. Also it reviewed well.

I'm really enjoying it, much prefer it over the first one.

Nothing like Freelancer really, other than being in space. Has more in common with Diablo and other loot based ARPGs, looking for constant upgrades to your ship.

Weird. So many saying that. Shame. I will wait until it drops in price as I want to play it on steam. I would have grabbed it if it was £30 maybe. Will give the demo a go for now.

Is the story any good?
