Ignite your engines in Everspace, Rockfish Games’ 2017 roguelike space shooter that rocketed onto PC and Xbox One on May 25, 2017, spread to PS4 (May 2018), Switch (December 2018), Linux, macOS, and Amazon Luna, and still dogfights in 2025! This isn’t just a flight sim—it’s a high-octane loop of loot, lasers, and permadeath where you pilot customizable scouts through procedurally generated sectors, battling drones, aliens, and capital ships in a narrative-driven frenzy. With a cult following and the series’ momentum from Everspace 2’s success, the original remains a stellar gem!
Customize hulls, upgrade lasers, missiles, and shields—chain barrel rolls, mine asteroids, and salvage wrecks in Unreal Engine 4’s cosmic chaos, hitting 1080p/60 FPS (4K via PC mods). Survive five sectors to the core—10-20 hours of roguelike runs, stacking ship variants like the Jackal fighter or Endling bomber, with Challenge Mode for score hunts. No multiplayer, no DLC—just pure, addictive loops and a story of your pilot’s cloned awakenings, every death a lesson in the void.
The vibe? Neon-lit space grit meets roguelike rush—think asteroid fields, explosion blooms, and a Sunner Sunstall OST that pulses with synth menace. Solo only, no co-op—critics (78 on Metacritic) and Steam’s 92% positive (4,500 reviews) praise its visuals and tension, though some note short runs. Steam’s sales slash it cheap—Everspace dares you to break the cycle. Strap in and claim the stars!
