Aug 6, 2015 Empyrion is a 3D open world, space survival adventure in which you can fly across space and land on planets. Build, explore, fight and survive in a hostile galaxy full of hidden dangers. Are you disappointed that space simulations do not offer the possibility to land on planets, while ego-shooters do not allow you to get on a spaceship, leave the planet and explore a vast galaxy? In addition, do you like the gameplay offered by recent survival games as well as the freedom and creativity of games like Minecraft which allow you to design and build objects such as spaceships and bases freely? If your answers are yes, then Empyrion might be interesting for you because it uniquely combines all of these elements. Genre: Action, Adventure, Strategy, Simulation Platforms: PC Languages: English Players: Single-player, Multi-player, Co-op MAIN GAME FEATURES: SPACE AND PLANET EXPLORATION: An absolute free-roaming experience awaits you: fly across space, land on planets and freely walk around. Imagine that you are orbiting a planet and see a mountain on the surface. In Empyrion, you can actually descend on the planet and land on the mountain. Then you can get off your ship and freely explore your surroundings. Likewise, if you walk around on the planet and see a moon on the horizon, you can take your spaceship and fly to this moon and land on it. SURVIVAL: Try to stay alive in a hostile galaxy. Each planet has its own characteristics and potentially unforgiving conditions. To survive, you have to adapt to a planet’s unique environment. For example, you will discover alien planets with harmful cosmic radiation or acid rain as well as planets with an enormous gravity that sticks you to the ground. The game also simulates different climates and weather conditions. BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTION: You can build everything out of blocks and building parts like in Minecraft: large motherships, small spaceships, space and planetary stations, and facilities such as mining robots and solar panels. SPACE AND LAND COMBATS: Empyrion features a variety of enemies reaching from wild creatures living on planets to intelligent alien races that can attack you everywhere. Be proactive because it can be highly rewarding to attack and loot a pirate space station. Perhaps you will find a blueprint for an advanced alien weapon technology? SINGLE AND MULTIPLAYER: Besides single player mode, Empyrion let’s you play multiplayer. For example, you can team up with your friends to play cooperatively: Invite them to join you on your mothership to operate the turrets while you pilot the ship. You can also form a wolf pack with several spaceships and attack pirate space stations or other enemies. Besides co-operative gameplay, you are also able to fight against each other in PvP. HUGE GALAXY AND OPEN WORLD: The galaxy is procedurally generated and features hundreds of different solar systems. Each solar system contains several planets with their own characteristics (planet type, gravity, atmosphere, number of moons, terrain, surface, vegetation, climate, and resources). Initially, you face an uncharted universe with only basic information about the planets, their resources, and life forms. MINING AND RESOURCE GATHERING: To obtain your building blocks, you must gather and mine resources that you find on planets and asteroids. Empyrion features different planet types such as desert, ice, lava, barren, oceanic, temperate, and gas planets, each with its specific resources.To successfully gather and mine resources you must adapt to a planet’s unique environment and geography. TERRAIN DEFORMATION: Each planet features a voxel-based terrain. You can entirely modify and deform the terrain: flatten it for your planetary station, dig holes to find resources or build a tunnel system to protect yourself. It’s a true sandbox game! SIMULATION OF PHYSICS: Empyrion simulates maneuverability, electricity, airflow, gravity, damage, construction solidity, and much more. The dynamic airflow simulation, for example, requires you to build your ships and stations airtight to preserve oxygen. Moreover, the shapes of your ships influence their maneuverability and combat ability. In addition, your ships and stations use generators to produce electricity and every device consumes energy from the power grid. Ensure enough power supply, otherwise you will find yourself in the dark with no life support. EXTENSIVE CRAFTING SYSTEM: Using and combining resources, you can craft your own equipment such as engines, generators, sensors, shields, and cloaking devices. You can also craft your land and space combat weapons including rocket launchers, miniguns, shotguns, lasers, and turrets. its currently 17 dollars and will increase as time goes on
Aug 6, 2015 yea except it has building and all the things you actually want in a free roam "minecraft" type game no mans sky is a lot more streamlined than people realize.. you explore planets and collect resources... rinse and repeat
Aug 6, 2015 Q: On which platforms will Empyrion be released? (PC, MAC, Linux, Etc.)? A: In the beginning, we are focusing on releasing the game on Windows PC (at least the first builds) and the dedicated servers for Linux. Given that we develop on Unity 3d – a cross-platform game creation system which allows to publish to over 10 platforms (Mac, Linux, PlayStation, Xbox etc.) – we will try our best to make Empyrion available on a maximum number of platforms over time. @Final u have a chance b
Aug 6, 2015 I don't necessarily care about the building aspect, so much as I just want to explore. But I'll probably check this out since it looks like my computer can actually handle it, and I don't yet have a ps4 for no man's sky
