It is Free! I discover that it was free recently off of a recommended Youtube video. It like X4, but more around an Expanse TV Series level of technology. It has been fun.
As a free game it's amazing:D Like X4 lite;) Very nice graphics, and newtonian physics:)
Quando peguei não era FREE. Mas mesmo de graça eu não recomendo ninguém gastar muito tempo com Helium Rain. Boa proposta, excelente visual, mas muito limitado se comparado a outros títulos. O conceito e o clima visual é excelente, muito alinhado com o que eu espero de um space sim foto realístico. Mas Helium Rain não apenas tem limitações técnicas, como também tem um quê de parque deserto. Há NPCs, mas em sua interação com eles, você irá se frustrar muito, porque o tutoria disso é pior que ELITE em 2014. e, pra fechar, não tem compatibilidade para manche. É bonito, é interessante, mas infelizmente não vale o tempo.

Good space sandbox game. Kind of a lighter/more polished X4
At year 2, a faction randomly turned hostile and my two combat ships were not enough to fight on all fronts. This game turned from a chill trade and resource management sim into a dogfighting game in a blink. I won the first two battles but after local supplies were emptied, I could not repair or resupply any ships. My wallet was eventually emptied so I couldn't buy any supplies or resources. I eventually died in battle and I receive get a screen saying something like "you were injured but the good guys rescued you and [u]fined you for reckless flying[/u]", which immediately made me alt+f4 and uninstall the game. It's a shame. I was enjoying the game until I was forced into all that combat. This game is more or less turn-based. In this game, turns are called days. And nothing in the local system changes until you end the day. That means if combat starts, whatever you got on the local system is what you get. No help will come. As I said, the game was enjoyable until that sudden 180 with all the combat. It was scratching my X4: Foundations itch without all the overcomplicated systems and simulations, but I think I still prefer those over this.
It's a good game, but it gets boring and repetitive quite fast. It still keeps you busy for a bit of time and considering it is FREE, it is definitely worth your time. The ships are something of a let down. They look like something I would create in Kerbal Space Program. I understand it is a realistic game, but maybe a little bit of Sci-Fi creativity would be appreciated. Add to this the fact that it takes ages until a new ship is built, and you get tired of your old crappy ship. There is also no ship creation, only some "Salyut-1"looking ships. Nothing to dream about. The ship manoeuvring is nice and realistic, although controls are nothing to shout about and the HUD is minimal. You have the option of auto-dock as one of the 1st technologies to research and then there is not much you need to do. Large distance travel is done by pressing fast forward button and nothing else is there to do. In conclusion, lets say it's good for the price (because is free), but not something that is ground-breaking in any way. Even Elite Dangerous has better ship travel, without taking into consideration other aspects of the game.
Its such a great game! I wish I could still support the developer, but it seems they retired. I truly appreciate that the developer open sourced it.
A great game that mixes the trading of Elite: Dangerous and X: Foundations, but is less flashy and without the walking around in stations.
The game mechanics are fairly simple and easy to learn. It's a fun way to spend some time.
Genuinely an excellent game that is somehow free. If you are craving a hard-scifi space game that's not as hardcore as Kerbal, this is it. Just give it a shot, it's free, and a very chill game. Excellent jobs devs, y'all made a hidden masterpiece of art
