Oh boy i noticed this on steamgifts, checked screens, read faq about it and i got very interested in this game.. checked gamerankings - all reviews gave high score 80-90.

I got very suspicious that no ign/gamespot/other big game review website didnt even looked at this game.Thats where i understood that the game must be awesome.

So, just to let you know, this game exist. Read its features, watch gameplay and then play the game.

p.s. its also great that this game needs 512mb vga for ultra graphics - means its also looks good

Also if anyone played it, share your experience, write at least few sentences is it worth our attention.

Evochron is pretty good, was a while since I played it so I don't know how it's now but I'm looking forward to their next project.

Pretty complex too, even full planet to space travel or what to call it and it's pretty big albeit kept a bit simple via visual tricks and procedural generation or how it's called.

I tried one of the games before, they're pretty unforgiving, especially in regards to warping, you have to make sure you have a massive clear line of sight otherwise you will explode into a planet, other ship, asteroid, etc, which you can't always make sure of.

And there was no autosave.

This was evochron renegades though, but I doubt things have changed all that much.

Gonna grab this for sure. Played alot of the X series over the years. Another nice thing for this it has TrackIR support. Will report back when I have played it a bit.

Well first off sorry for the double post.

Well the best thing I can say about it is that well, it's a poor mans X Series. After playing it for an hour or so all I really wanted to to do was just fire up X3 and play that instead.
It's VERY unforgiving and leaves little room for error. Interface is somewhat clumsy, it did allow me to use my X-52 Pro for flying, TrackIR worked fine but had little use(I would rather have that support in X3)
