Picked this up and played it for a couple of hours so far. It's Space Engineers mixed with Minecraft mixed with an FPS but not necessarily a spinoff or blatant rip off. IMO there's definitely a lot of potential.
The gameplay is pretty good and the environment has much flora/fauna/resources variety even at this early stage.
The crafting has a good variety of useful things to make, but can be a bit confusing until you figure out the blueprint system.
The dev promises a mucho large sandbox with many unique planets to visit. Currently, there are some travel restrictions while they are working on it, but I see no problem for what is already there to play with.
The graphics are beautiful, and there's quite a bit of visual detail in the environment. Hardware requirements to get it up and running properly = mid-level beef.
Currently at $18 U.S., I think it's worth it.
If space survival, crafting and FPS mouse and keys games are for you - check it out.

Hi Smelly Chicken!
Looks pretty cool. Are there MP as well yet?

Smelly?! Well, you keep chicken feet confined inside space suit boots for 100k lightyears (worth of travel)... Hmm.... I see your point. I check the next station's general store I visit to see if they sell any powder for that. :o :P:P:P
MP in Empyrion is currently LAN only, but they are planning on running a dedicated server with full MP interaction. PvE/Co-op/Clans/PvP or as a lot of us in Evochron do, cruising the stars and chat.

picked up this game while on the lunar sale on steam. Really cool even in pre-alpha, they have many MP servers online to play on and im looking to find some guys to run it with. Anyone here play it at all?
