“EverSpace” is a new game developed by Rockfish and released in alpha. It is a roguelike space shooter with persistent progression. In this game, if you die, it’s game over and you start from the beginning, but you can retain all your upgrades. The game features a star map where you can progress to different sectors, each with various activities beyond combat, such as collecting resources, attacking cargo containers and freight ships, and upgrading your ship.
The combat in the game is fast-paced and visually appealing, with shields and hull indicating your ship’s health. The ship is equipped with guns and missiles, with missiles being auto-aimed and causing significant damage. Flying is done with the mouse and keyboard or a controller, making it easy to control. After defeating enemies in an area, you can repair your ship or do upgrades. There are also friendly space stations and freighters, attacking which can give you additional resources but make them hostile towards you.
When you die, you are sent back to the hangar, but you get to keep the unlocks you have made, which allows for persistent progression and becomes more powerful in subsequent attempts. Unlocking tiers and functions for your ship opens up a wide range of upgrades. Fuel is an important resource needed for jumping from sector to sector, and attacking friendly installations can provide you with additional fuel. The game offers different environments and has a detailed damage model for your ship.
Overall, “EverSpace” is a captivating space shooter game with a mix of combat, resource collection, and ship customization. It is still in the alpha stage, and more content and improvements are expected to be added in the coming weeks and months.
