'Everspace' (ALL) Launches New Beta, Accepting Sign-ups - Screens & Trailer

by Rainier on July 29, 2016 @ 9:26 a.m. PDT

Everspace is a roguelike 3D space shooter with a non-linear story and fast-paced shooter gameplay.

In Everspace, players awaken onboard a battleship in a remote corner of our galaxy. They receive a mysterious command to appear at a specific place. Searching for the origins of their own existence and the unknown commander, they must fight their way through more and more new, uncontrolled territories where they will encounter other skilled combat pilots, who range from cooperative to hostile. Death will be a constant companion and constantly recurring flashbacks of the protagonist will gradually shine a light in the darkness of the mission.

During the course of the game, players will not only have to continually prove their combat skills, but also gather fuel and raw materials in order to travel to various star systems and repair and upgrade their equipment. The roguelike character of the game offers a quick and easy entry to the game and adds constant twists and surprises to the game events. Along with gameplaying skills, this also demands improvisation by players and provides an individual, always motivational game experience. Unlike in classic roguelikes, game progress is not completely lost at the moment of death, but rather remains available in the form of persistent upgrades.


ROCKFISH Games announced the exclusive Beta of their fast-paced roguelike space shooter Everspace beginning today.

The game has been tested by over 4,000 Alpha backers for three months, and another 4,000 Steam keys will be sent out to all Beta backers today. Alpha backers just have to update their version on Steam to get the latest Beta build. The Beta will be updated continuously until it eventually becomes the final version.  Space game fans who are interested in participating in the exclusive Beta of Everspace can secure access until July 31 on the official website.

Space pilots will now be able to explore two brand new sectors after they battle their way through the first four, each sector introducing an even greater variety of enemies, natural hazards, planet types, and space stations. To deal with the new challenges, the arsenal of weapons, devices, and consumables has been expanded, offering an even deeper gameplay experience. Many Alpha backers have already clocked over 50 hours in the game and shared some glowing feedback in the Alpha section of the forums which is now accessible to all forum members.

“We are super stoked about the fantastic feedback from our Alpha backers. We also got lots of great new ideas and suggestions from the community which we were able to implement into the Beta to a large extent. We cannot wait to see how the over 200 new features, tweaks and bug fixes since the initial Alpha release will be received,” says Michael Schade, CEO and co-founder of ROCKFISH Games. “The advance praise from players, the media and influencers alike is not only a great recognition of the whole team’s hard work and dedication, it also gives us high confidence about the upcoming Early Access on Steam, Games in Development on GOG and Preview Program on Xbox One later this year.”
