Origin Space

Abandoned. No patches since March and that was version 0.34.03.05 and in fact, launching the game now states version 0.35 (ea). There were so many promised features and it had a lot of promise which is a shame because it is playable in this state and quite fun for a short while, but that doesn't justify paying for an incomplete product that is now going nowhere. Stay well clear.

Abondoned.

So this is a fun game. Combat is fast, there are a lot of fun weapons and abilities, and tons of loot. Sadly, it was released in an incomplete and buggy state. It's not been patched in months, still missing one of its three classes, lacking promised features such as crafting, and still lists itself internally as an early access beta build. If you like ARPGs, maybe get it on deep sale, or in a bundle, but know it's not finished, and isn't likely to ever be.

*Updated* I beat the game after 8.5 hours using the scout class. I played on the highest difficulty (Ace) out of 4. TL:DR -It's well worth $10 especially if they are adding more content and tweaking what is already there. Pros: -Great ship controls, the overall gameplay mechanics feel very solid. -Multiple classes with different playstyles. -Solid graphics and artstyle to match what the game is going for. -Great performance on my rig (CPU: FX-8320 ; GPU: gtx 1070) -100fps- -Great loot system, that can only get better with future updates. Cons: -Loot doesn't despawn, causing massive framerate drops after extended play (reloading fixes the issue, it's not that big a problem) -The enemies are the simplest of AI and pose no challenge. -Highest difficulty has no difference from normal (You will one shot everything, even the final boss) -I never went under 100% health. -The questing is incredibly repetitive (the same exact quests over and over). Misc: -The story isn't so much bad as it is simple, which I have no issue with given that there were more set pieces and more of an actual campaign.(currently the story quests are no different than side quests) -There is no crafting in the game yet, yet it lets you upgrade your crafting areas to max (just wasting money) -The store page says there are set items in the game, I have yet to find one. -The looting all boils down to how much precision you have (it's the only stat that changes damage for the most part) All things said, I genuinely enjoyed the game and am happy to have come across it. I recommend it to anyone who enjoy ARPG titles such as Diablo or want a simple space sim that will let them turn their mind off for a bit. Honestly at $10, you won't get a better game. Most of the issues I have will probably be patched in the following weeks. So stay tuned for an updated version.

Abandoned EA. Current version lacks features and, most important, it lacks balance.

This is scam. It's unfinished abandoned game.

So far I really like this game. Still very early access, but playable and I've still spent hours flying around and blowing stuff up. Developers have a lot planned, with placeholders still all around the game, but the mechanics are pretty solid. Hopefully they work on making the game much MUCH harder, but otherwise I can wait for incremental updates and features. Pros: Loot, special powers, loot. Stuff goes boom! Pretty graphics. Loot. Did I mention boom? BOOM! Cons: Stupid easy - I'm not sure I can die. Expected early access type bugs.

Also, Im Moment weis ich noch nicht so ganz was ich von dem Spiel halten soll. Einerseits ist es wirklich irgendwie Diablo im Weltraum, andererseits etwas eintönig. Man kämpft alleine gegen Gegnerhorden, diese gibts wie bei Diablo in Standard, Elite, Champion und Boss Kategorien und haben entsprechende Sonderfähigkeiten, außerdem sammelt man Loot und upgradet sein Schiff damit, welches sogar seine Gestalt ändert (so wie Rüstungsteile und Waffen die man bei Diablo und ähnlichen Spielen anlegt) und eine Art Fähigkeitensystem gibts ebenfalls, leider ist es trotzdem etwas eintönig. Man fliegt zu einem Navpunkt, erledigt drei oder mehr Gegnerwellen, ein paar droppen Loot und fliegt dann weiter. Man kann in Systemen nur Planeten anfliegen und erkunden die eine Mission haben und wenn man da fertig ist, gehts zum nächsten System und zur nächsten Mission. Ab und an gibts Geleitschutz Missionen, allerdings wird dieser nie angegriffen, sondern immer nur das Spieler Schiff. Waffen gibt es bisher nur 4, welche durch leveln mit neuen Fähigkeiten ausgestattet werden können. Die Waffen die man ausrüstet und am Schiff sieht, bringen aber leider nur extra Schadenspunkte und andere Boni, wirken sich aber auf die Schussanimationen der Waffen die verwendet werden nicht aus. Sprich, man ballert nur mit Blitzen / Energiebällen oder mit der Sekundärwaffe (Raketen oder Laserstrahl), egal was man ausrüstet. Klingt nicht wirklich schlecht, aber nicht genug. Die Story kommt irgendwie nicht wirklich rüber, wirkt alles etwas lahm. Trotz des recht guten Intros, kommt bisher kaum Atmosphäre zustande. (Und ja, 2 Stunden Spielzeit sind etwas wenig, aber wenn eine Story nicht von Anfang an wenigstens Neugierig macht, taugt sie nicht viel.) Da das Spiel aber noch Early Access ist, will ich nicht so streng sein. Ich hoffe sehr dass das Spiel sich weiter zum positivem ändert, aber im Moment kann ich keine Kaufempfehlung geben. Sorry.

Hey ARPG fans - this is a great little game that I just started playing as it released today. I have tried most all of the space basde ARPG/shmup games on Steam, and this one is easily the best of the lot. It has really fluid controls, a nice galaxy exploration system, questing that is not obtrusive and moves the game forward smoothly, leveling that is not too grindy, tons of loot to find and upgrade, a solid skill system, ship customization, a mothership (town area) for crafting, sellling, buying etc. Overall, there is a ton packed into this indie game, and it is well worth the price of entry. I will report back with more details later, but for now, I recommend giving it a try if you like ARPG and space games. Fun!
