gaming Evochron Mercenary

[LowfatEnvelope 335]

Anypony else here play this game? I got it around when it first came out on Steam (which was a few months ago, but it has been out longer than that), and am still getting into it. Anyway i was wondering if anypony else plays it, has played it, or has played a different game in the series and what their thoughts on it were/are. I personally really like it but find the lack of initial direction a bit hampering.

 

In case anypony doesn't know what Evochron Mercenary is, it's a space sim game made by a pony under the name of Vice. It has a massive open world (or space i guess i should say) with a lot of star systems and planets and hidden things. You can fly from space down to a planet seamlessly, and in an upcoming expansion you will be able to exit your ship and walk around and mine materials. You can build star bases and mine things, and upgrade your ship. There's also a lot of combat. In multiplayer different clans can actually control sections of the map. There's more to it but i think that's the jist of it.

 

Edit: Woops i messed the gaming tag up (Unless of course that's not how you tag things and everything i thought was a lie )

I meant like the space traveling and going world-to-world...It looks kind of like Spore from that video^. Albeit without the super-customization.

Ah ok. Ya i guess they are similar then. Currently it's mostly space-travel though as there isn't much on the planets (that's changing with a future expansion).
