Sectors of space are now patrolled by outlaws, a neutral mining company, the deadly Okkar faction and numerous alien NPCs. The story, complete with decent voice acting and artwork, takes place after a brutal war which has apparently done nobody any good. But, eventually, you build a better battle plan, one that lets you warp deeper into the far-future demilitarised zone – and the non-linear narrative framing the whole experience. Perks require varying levels of investment to upgrade fully, so it can take a while until you start seeing drastic improvements on your ship. Like Rogue Legacy, the credits disappear as soon as you start a new run, so there’s no excuse to hold back. Between runs, you can invest any credits that you’ve found into different perks. Early runs can last as little as a couple of minutes as you get to grips with the ship-to-ship combat, but you’re constantly improving as you go. Taking the helm of an upgradeable spaceship – and accompanied by helpful and sarcastic on-board AI named HIVE – Everspace is a sci-fi, run-based blast through space, and one that relies on the player dying over and over again.Īnd it’s made clear from the start that you’re going to die. Punishing roguelikes are all over the shop these days, but when one is as fun and satisfying as Everspace, there’s always room for more.
