About This Game Astrox Imperium is my attempt to create the space game that I wanted to play, but no one had created. I wanted a single player, open-world space game that is similar to games I enjoyed, like Homeworld and EVE, with economies, factions, and a story. A game where I could set all the parameters, and the universe would come alive with new challenges each time I played. I tried to take the best of what I liked from many of my favorite space games, and combine them into something simple but deep, familiar yet fresh, and enjoyably addicting to play.The human struggle to survive is an all too familiar one. As the planet collapsed into an ecological depression, mankind as a whole is forced to expand his vision to the skies. A grand ship was built, and the ‘Imperium’ was scheduled to launch mankind into the future. With a new Quantum technology at its core, the Imperium was mankind’s greatest achievement. Putting aside all differences, the people of world came together. Under a common goal, the efforts of an entire generation came to fruition. The Imperium was ready to carry the dreams of us all, and with it, the hopes of finding a second chance.Not any one person knows the whole truth, but from what can be gathered, here is what we know. The Imperium was destroyed, and many of the human pioneers perished during the event. The survivors congregated together and began to build a temporary home from the wreckage of the ship itself. At first they waited for rescue, but it wasn’t long before the first ones accepted their fate.It has been 230 years now, and mankind has been quite busy out there in the stars. The story of the Imperium, passed down through the generations, have all but faded away completely.The main game play loops are fairly simple, and familiar. What makes Astrox Imperium unique, is the way that you can easily glide between the various loops to maintain a nice level of progression, without it feeling any more ‘grindy’ than you want it to. Sure, you can just mine rocks if you want, but Astrox Imperium provides you many different ways to progress your pilot.As with most space games of this genre, mining is a big mechanic of Astrox. It is the easiest way to earn credits, and most players are familiar with how it works. You can also complete contract missions. These are randomly generated missions that offer a variety of task and objectives to complete. Some of these contracts are combat missions that will involve raiders, pirates, and sometimes regular npcs. The combat missions offer a bit more action to an otherwise relaxed game. The rate at which you choose to progress is up to you. You are given a number of game options allowing you to adjust 'the grind' and speed of the game. There are a number of small, interesting little mechanics sprinkled throughout the game that were given a lot of thought and care, but you will not find anything groundbreaking or innovative here. This game is meant to feel comfortable and familiar. The game play loops are designed to be simple enough to understand quickly, and complex enough to enjoy over many hours of play.Many of the classic mechanics from the space game genre have been incorporated into Astrox Imperium. Basic interface controls were designed using elements from some RTS and FPS games. All the fan favorites and core game play elements have been included; mining, crafting, trading, refining, fleets, combat, exploration, survival, and more. This game will seem familiar to fans of the space survival / exploration game genre. Here is a list of features that are currently in the game.

Thank you! 7aa9394dea Title: Astrox ImperiumGenre: Action, Adventure, Indie, RPG, Simulation, Early AccessDeveloper:Jace MasulaPublisher:Jace MasulaRelease Date: 22 Mar, 2019 Astrox Imperium Keygen Generator its a good game even in this early stage.graphics have just had a good update, an it plays like an easy EVE i guess.after a while theres not much to do, but im sure this will change and get a bit more complex as time goes on, and for the price its well worth it to support this dev, as he always comes through and does a good job. YES! so. I've been enjoying Astrox since #1. I was playing EVE, and lets face it, most of us "new" players of EVE get flat out bored with it. There are no exciting battles, that you see on the tube or read in blogs, Heck we don't even get far enough to even OPEN a spreadsheet, let alone make use of one, if we can even read how ti connects with the game.So being the fun game server person I am, I started looking for a decent EVE PS, but they are sorely lacking big time. So did a search of "offline EVE" and what do you know - ASTROX came in to the results. While I did enjoy the first one, it did get repetitive, and did not quite have the EVE feel I was hoping for. The game in it self was great, but was still missing something.The ASTROX IMPERIUM came out. NOOOWWWW it feels a lot like "solo-EVE". The depth of the 3D effects, missions and just about everything but the boring stuff. Now is it a "EVE OFFLINE" - not really, if anything, ASTROX IMPERIUM is a compliment to EVE. it has enough to be it's own game successfully, yet scratch that EVE ONLINE itch most of us have. Now it is said in the wiki that it has a mix of homeworld, but I could not feel it. Maybe because I was searching for something a little more "faster" than EVE, without it being EVE. ASTROX IMPERIUM is the ticket. Personally, I would compare this more towards the X series (earlier ones up to and including TC). However, I believe ASTROX IMPERIUM holds its own very well.If you want a nice smooth space game, or a very close EVE "offline" style - this is for you. ASTROX IMPERIUM is built way better than the first. And no, you do not need to play the first at all. The first one is a game all its own as well.Enjoy!!PSI know I mentioned EVE a lot in my opinion of ASTROX IMPERIUM, but that is what brought me here - I was looking for something that felt like eve, now I am hooked on ASTROX IMPERIUM and EVE has been shelved (prob permanently). ok, I have just over 3 hours in this game and love it. As a former EVE player the mechanics are very easy and familiar. The only thing missing is other players trying to kill you while you mine, which is a good miss for me. In 3 1\/2 hours I have hit level 4. I have trained skills, and am saving up for my next ship. I highly recommend this game for people looking for fun; especially for EVE veterans who would like a single player EVE-like experience. Thumbs up. It is early access so be mindful this is not yet a finished product. It is however, from what I have seen, a one person operation - so please give him your support.. Stable all 11.9 hrs first go.I like it. Has an EVE feel to it. Chose mining which works like EVE.I can't wait to see how this develops.. I honestly don't remember how I discovered this gem, but I'm happy that I did.To be honest, after the first 25 hours the game does become a bit repetitive. Missions are the standard go here, do that, return for reward. Mining is the usual go here, blast rock, sell ore.There are few surprises at this stage of development, but it's still quite playable and entertaining.Because the developer is so involved with the community, bugs get fixed usually within days when they're discovered.There is no story line to follow as yet, but I have no doubt it will be engrossing and enjoyable. What is keeping me really interested is the developer's commitment to allowing users to mod the game to their liking.You can create your own ships. You can script your own missions. You can create your own Space Stations.Heck, you can even create your own Star System. I'm sure that there will be an Astrox: Imperium Workshop in the future.In the meantime, I will be refining my mod and learning the ins and outs of the modding tools INCLUDED with the game.I'm not sure if this will get removed, but I think there are already a few mods available for download at nexus dot com.This game is pretty much the best $15.00 I've spent in 40 years of gaming. Don't hesitate, buy it now.. I purchased this game because I gas given a $20 gift card and didn't have the spare funds at the time to add anything to it. And I hesitated to buy it, because other experiences have made me very distrustful of Early Access.I made the decision to buy mostly on the reputation of the developer.As for the game itself, it has some way to go, but it is already worth the price. There's a learning curve (which I enjoy), nice scenery, chill music, plenty to do even without the main story missions added yet, and a very helpful community. Not to mention a very active dev who is eerily quick to address any issues that come up.Even if you are (like me) suspicious of early access titles, this one is worth your time and money.. I'm soooo happy to have this game. It's renders like Eve though not Multiplayer, but as solo, very relaxing and simple. I would encourage any Space Junkie to get this one.
