Empyrion - Galactic Survival on Steam Early Access

Post by Rubber Chicken »

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. :cool: 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. :cool:

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. :cool:

Hi Smelly Chicken! ;)

Looks pretty cool. Are there MP as well yet?

Smelly?! :o 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:o :P: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. :cool:
