ΔV: Rings of Saturn

Vasco Sapien · Nov 9, 2020

This is an Early access game on Steam, currently on sale for just £3.59.
The reviews are generally very positive and the game itself looks interesting.

real physics
Earn and unlock
upgrade/maintain your ship
buy new ship classes
missions and story

There is a demo to D/L which i have played, although it didnt give me a solid idea of what to expect. Mostly taken up by a ship control tutorial which i just wanted to skip.

Has anyone got this? Played it? Do you recommend?

The unexpected discovery of valuable minerals within the rings of Saturn has sparked a thriving space excavation industry. Experience hard sci-fi, top-down space mining simulator, with every aspect backed up by real physics and science.

... on WARNOG!

Game looks pretty cool but it's just top-down view I guess. Nice Newtonian.

I was hoping for a game about Klingons on Uranus

Pretty sure that part of Hollywood already took care of the concept. Eagerly awaiting a Kickstarter teaser.

Looks nice, sort of a scientifically accurate Sunless Skies.

How did you think they entered orbit? By headbutting their rocket?

I looked at der video and it looks like it might resonate with me.

I went ahead and got it... Its good. Im enjoying it.
For the price right now, its a no brainer.

Gully Foyle · Nov 10, 2020

I'm going to pull the trigger on it too.

Is like Asteroids, just better. But the thruster sound really grates on me.

I really like the leading indicators for movement. Clever
Sure, being a 2d view helps a lot

Nice game. Quite hard to grasp on some details (UI) at first but I love how you have to handle the ship. Would have loved to have to dock myself though.
