EVERSPACE 2

EVERSPACE™ 2 is a fast-paced single-player space shooter with deep exploration, tons of loot and classic RPG elements. Experience a thrilling story set in a vivid, handcrafted open-world full of secrets and perils on your journey to become human after all.

In the campaign, you will make some friends with their own story to tell. They will join you on side missions and provide certain benefits in the endgame, where vicious encounters and brutal challenges will stand between you and that next epic loot drop.

Embark on an exciting journey
Discover alien species, unveil mysteries, find hidden treasures and defend your valuables against outlaw clans. But don’t get cocky: there will be some high-risk/high-reward areas waiting for you where grabbing that ultra-special gear and getting out alive will require some serious piloting skills and all your talent for improvisation.

Let the lasers do the talking
Annihilate your foes the EVERSPACE™ way: Dodge, dash, roll and boost guns blazing into frantic dogfights, leaving only a trail of space scrap behind. Use a wide range of weaponry and abilities to defeat a large variety of opponents like drones, fighters, heavy bombers and powerful gunships all the way to massive capital vessels. Always look around and use your environment to your advantage, and gain the upper hand even if you are outnumbered.

Have it your own way
Expand your private ship collection from a virtually endless supply of ships, composed of various unique ship classes and optimize your build to perfection. Cleverly combine modules, weapons, devices, and perks to fit your individual playstyle and the current objective.

Epic loot awaits
Hunt for the next better gear and be ready to constantly re-evaluate your current setup. Look for loot that fits your playstyle but be willing to leave your comfort zone and try something new. Be ready to find and exploit synergistic effects between equipment, perks, devices, and ships to fully maximize their potential.

From rags to riches
Roam the world looking for the best deals on certain commodities, becoming the part-time trader you always wanted to be. However, prices will vary based on supply and demand, so you better check about the latest offerings before you set course to the next trading station. Always be on the look-out against ambushes during interstellar travel.

KS is up

We're very excited to announce that the Kickstarter campaign for Everspace 2 just launched! The sequel to Everspace won't be a roguelike, but an open-world space shooter with deep exploration, tons of loot and classic RPG elements.

Your invaluable feedback helped make Everspace the success it was, which is why we'd like to get you on board as soon as possible. With your support we will be able to stay in full creative and financial control and increase the overall quality of the game. So please have a look at our reward tiers and maybe help us unlock a few stretchgoals as well. We would also like to point out that anyone backing on a digital game copy of Everspace 2 will receive a playable Demo Version before the end of this year!

If I had the money, I would back it. I like these dudes and they cared enough about PC not to go for the exclusivity. Beside that, Everspace was a pretty good game without having to be balanced around MP, one of the things that's hell to achieve with space sims. I think the repetitive nature of it was what made me drop off, so the open world structure might be a better fit for me.

So, I was looking at the tier available on KS and I've to say that they are really underwhelming tbh
The Closed Beta starts at the 70€ tier, that's a lot of money and the CB it's basically the only thing of value on this tier (I mean, 30€ more for just a soundtrack and a digital artbook are just too much). At 90€ starts the physical goodies with the console boxed edition, for the physical PC version we have only the Collector's Edition at 175€
It doesn't even make a lot of sense, why haven't they included a standard boxed edition for PC at 60-70 euro?
I don't know, the 40€ tier is a lot appealing thanks to the convention demo, and i'll go with that trying to decide about the CE until the end of the campaign, but aside that it seems that they ran out of ideas. Not a lot of incentive to go beyond that and some things are just too much costly, also it would be good to have an idea of what the collector's edition could include into it......a sample image of the content, something...

yeah, i agree ... they should've added all the extra in-game stuff and alpha/beta access at 60-70€ MAX

I asked them if they could add a tier with a standard, boxed, edition for PC and that's their reply:

Hi TheTrain, thank you for your suggestion. We know there a lot of different wishes for special versions and tiers. We will think about it, but I cannot guarantee a new tier.

Fair enough, let's see what they can do before the end of the KS!
