Gameplay

The goal of the game may sound simple: Reach your destination. However, with every new attempt you will face all-new challenges as the route to your destination and the obstacles you must overcome vary each time you play.

When you start a run, a new course to your destination will be plotted so that it is very unlikely that you will encounter the same setting twice. To survive you will have to adapt to the circumstances at hand:

Use different tactics when dealing with enemies - cloak your ship and sneak past or attack all guns blazing?
Gather resources for much-needed repairs in the local asteroid belt or hunt down well-guarded traders for their precious supplies?
Explore the mysterious nebula visible in the distance with unknown consequences or stay safe and head straight to the space station for refueling?
Investigate cosmic anomalies and stellar bodies (wormholes, derelict shipwrecks, hollow asteroids) or don't bother and jump to the next system?

As an Everspace pilot you need to deal with lots of decisions during your journey. Each and every one will affect how you experience your personal quest to the ultimate goal. Because of this no Everspace run is like any other.

In order to leave the system and jump to the next one, you will need to gather enough fuel to power up the jump drive and at the same time collect credits and resources to craft items and upgrade your ship.

The mix of persistent progression (blueprints and Credits) and temporary progression (crafting and equipping your ship during a run) combined with an ever-changing universe and a rewarding story will make you want to start over again and again to eventually reach your final destination.

Minimum System requirements

OS: 32/64-Bit Windows 7 / 8.1 / 10 (Mac OS X 10.12.6 Sierra or Ubuntu 16.04 also supported)
Processor: Intel CPU Core i3
Memory: 4GB RAM
Graphics: Nvidia GTX 480 / AMD Radeon HD 5870
DirectX: Version 10
Storage: 12 GB available space
Mouse and Keyboard recommended (See also: Controls), controller and VR supported.

VR support is optional. Some VR systems require 90 FPS on two screens. With that in mind, we will provide a lot of scalability, so you'll get awesome graphics on powerful systems and will still be able to play at very good frame rates on older systems. You won't be needing hardware acceleration for physics. However, you will require more advanced hardware in order to use virtual reality devices.
