Null Hørizøn

Another fine Splattercat suggestion :)

This is really good for early access so it will only get better..It kinda reminds me of dungeon crawling but in space with spacesim rpg elements like upgrading your ship or finding a good trade or taking contracts for factions, I also shot innocents and lost reputation with the good faction lol.

Typically not my style of game but it caught my attention none the less. Its such a fun little game that seems to steal time away from you. One minute you're mining resources so you can upgrade your ship, turn around to go to the next spot and BAM theres a dirty space pirate in your face! Do you fight him or run from him? If you're me and a lala you try to run. This game has everything from fighting, to gathering, crafting, actually thinking about where to sell your items to make the most currency, upgrading individual parts of your ship or buying a whole new one, optional quests and a creator that actually listens to his player base. Deff a game worth adding to your library even if it doesnt seem like its "your style". You'll be surprised how it will suck you in.

This appeared on a suggested games feed on Steam and bought it straight away purely based on the aesthetic, however I did initially think this was a 6 DOF space sim, akin to Wing Commander, Starlancer, Tie-Fighter etc, with a 3D environment, HOTAS support etc. This was purely down to me not even reading the blurb, or watching the store video, just saw a screen shot and thought "hell yeah!" and bought it. Being a grid based game doesn't detract from the game or alter my review at all, just wasn't what I decided the type of game was in my head. Gameplay: Fills the space exploration urge well, gameplay is simple enough to hold interest but not overly complicated. Different ship types and upgrade paths for components is good. Graphics: One of the few games where the Sprite based graphics don't feel forced because everyone's doing retro-style nowadays. Objects are easily identifiable at distance. I like the different cockpit layout for the different ships. UI: A Bad UI is one of the biggest turn off's for a game for me and I didn't feel it was bad at all. Overall the UI is nice and easy to use. just could do with some improvements, tweaks, and maybe some font size changes on certain panels. Sound: This is where the game (in its current state) is a bit of a let-down - needs more sound effects. There are combat sounds and background music but no UI sounds other than when something happens in the sector, like a ship appears. Any actions outside of combat (ship movement, landing on a planet, selling goods, clicking into a UI option etc) are currently soundless. I know this will be added in the future so I can't hold it against it currently, but it is jarringly noticeable currently. I know in space, no-one can hear you scream, but dammit, it needs more whooshes, bleeps, bloops, pings and boings. Overall: Very promising game, can't wait for the future updates (wouldn't you know it, an update dropped in on 15th Feb 2026 (after recording the below video and AS I WAS WRITING THIS). If anything above has changed, you'll know why I didn't mention it. My in-depth YouTube "1st Look" Video of the above review: https://youtu.be/Uq6oKkKGwAc

GOOD GAME WAS GOOD. Not usually my cup of tea, but was extremely pleased with the simultaneous simplicity and shocking complexity of this game. Relax and fight space pirates- search for booty, and PLAY CARDS AT THE SAME TIME?! SOLD. 10/10

Imagine the building blocks of DOOM, early dungeon crawlers and DnD had an offspring, very addictive and deeper than I expected. Deserves alot more attention, I REALLY hope more gets added in the future!!!

Very enjoyable space game, with a unique control setup that I really liked. It's kind of like dungeon crawlers and has some fun graphics and gameplay.

Null Horizon is a hidden gem. It reminds me of a mix of FTL and roguelite dungeon crawling combined - in a 2.5d grid-based system with real-time combat. I'm a space nerd, always have been. I've dumped hundreds of hours into EvE, Elite Dangerous, Star Wars Xwing v. Tie, FTL, etc. It was a lot different than I expected picking this up, but I'm not disappointed about being wrong about my expectations. Movement is single-square up/down/left/right and when you engage an enemy, it's realtime combat. Like jrpg's (realtime movement, and turn-based combat), but backwards. I was mercilessly mutilated thinking I could just take on a pirate/enemy I saw first thing. I WAS WRONG. So I licked my wounds, and tried again...AND I WAS STILL WRONG. So I flew around, got some materials, did some contracts, made some money, beefed up my ship a little bit, and tried again. I AM UNSTOPPABLE! (But, still, taking a lot of damage). This is a seriously fun game that you can pick up and put down for a few minutes, or simply sink hours at a time into (which I probably will be doing once my Arc Raiders obsession subsides...eventually...)

Enjoyable turn-based "space crawler". Really love that I can just focus on hauling and crafting if I want to. Combat is pretty frantic real-time engagements managing multiple systems (energy, hull, shields, cooldowns, fuel). Running illicit goods through patrolled space to turn a profit. Feels like something new, if you like scifi and dungeon crawlers I highly recommend giving it a shot.

Looking to become a pirate? A bounty hunter? A space traveler? You can do all of that in this game! It’s a very fun and easy to understand game just make sure you don’t skip the tutorial like I did
