This game blends action, exploration and crafting ... in space!
Stranded on a distant planet, an explorer must scavenge for resources, build a place to live, battle alien creatures and cooperate with others to survive. If that sounds like everything reviewers hoped controversial galactic exploration game No Man's Sky would be, you're not the only one to think so. In some ways, this game actually has more in common with games like Empyrion: Galactic Survival or Eden Star, especially in term's of the latter's glossy presentation.

With the aid of a robotic drone, the character mines mineral and gas resources, crafts items and builds a habitat to live in. More advanced structures yield more crafting options. Naturally, the planet is also inhabited by hostile alien creatures, including a colossal monster reminiscent of the sandworm in "Dune." Multiplayer gameplay sees characters teaming up with other members of their faction and competing with rivals for scarce resources.
