Gameplay
Gameplay
Everspace is a space combat game, in which the player progresses through a number of sectors with increasing difficulty. In this game, the player is expected to die. With each death, they can spend earned credits toward Perks, which, in turn, facilitate their following run. The player can find weapons and add-ons that can be used during the current run. The player is also given the ability to craft and upgrade various systems of their ship, including weapons, maneuverability and shielding. An overarching storyline is revealed as the player reaches certain points in a run for the first time. The player can also meet NPCs which give different objectives in order to complete current or future runs and will reward the player once they complete their tasks.
