Anyone tried this?

Free beta available now on the Rift.

Pretty good in my opinion. More basic graphics and really focused on 1st person (on foot) combat but it gives a good sense of what walking around on your ship could be like with ED. I especially like the 1st person to 3rd person switch for locomotion.

Just an hour or so before going out. 20 gb download though...

Tried it on the free weekend. Liked the concept (it's basically a VR version of FTL), but lacks complexity. It already became very repetitive on the demo, which was limited to ten jumps. I would have liked to see more ship/crew management here, repairs (despite from the magic repair tool) and other things. This way, it is a very simple shooter. Also, I hate the "rogue like" aspect of it.

for a beta demo it was not bad, has potential.

Played several rounds and got a flavor of different scenarios like rescuing a ship from a pirate raiding party which was fun.

It does lack a lot of interaction and game play was pretty simple like ship to ship combat and hacking. Lets hope they make it a bit more interactive.


btw, need to move the post to Other games
