Everspace
Everspace is an action-focused single-player space shooter with rock solid 6DOF controls combining roguelike elements with top-notch visuals and a captivating non-linear story as well as VR support in the final version.
What it feels like
Fast-paced combat and roguelike tension create a kinetic rush of speed and flow in moment-to-moment play. Challenging odds stacked against the player and roguelike permadeath create sustained edge-of-seat pressure.
What it's about
A space-shooter setting with sci-fi aesthetics and 6DOF controls in a universe of crafted exploration defines the thematic backdrop.
How it plays
Fast-paced combat centered on aiming and firing weapons is the core interactive loop, emphasized as 'shoot, craft and loot' in the core pitch. Randomized item drops of varying rarity drive the reward loop central to the roguelike progression and 'loot your way to victory' gameplay. Roguelike structure and 'challenging journey' language imply death resets progress, raising the weight of mistakes.
How it looks and sounds
6DOF controls and VR support imply first-person cockpit perspective looking out at the universe. Top-notch visuals and beautifully crafted universe suggest high-fidelity rendering of space environments.
How it's structured
Roguelike structure divides play into discrete attempts that reset on loss, with progression carrying forward between runs as a defining feature. Explicitly described as single-player with no multiplayer component. An ever-changing universe and roguelike structure implies algorithmically generated layouts differ across runs.
