Players will experience Adam’s journey as he learns what it means to transition from a clone with unlimited lives, yet persistent memories, so now that dying means the ultimate death the search for the meaning of life suddenly takes on a whole new importance.

Despite all the innovations, EverSpace 2 remains true to its space shooter core and presents fast-paced space action in the well-known EverSpace style. Thanks to the expanded perks and a brand new class-based player ship system with dozens of models, players can also fully customize their spaceship to their individual playing style with weapons, plating, and equipment, similar to classic RPG character development.

The sequel appears to be carrying on in that tradition if nothing else. Those updates are planned to bring more of just about everything, it sounds, from new star systems to new enemies, ship subclasses, enemies, jobs, and factions.Īlthough it was a different style game, Brendan Caldwell (RPS in pieces) says in RPS's Everspace review that it was a "better-than-average dogfighting sim".
