as a simple RTS game it is OK. however some of the shady buisness practices of the publisher might taint your experience.

If you are a fan of any of the other homeworld games you will absolutely hate this.
The Good:
graphics are very pretty,
Music feels like homeworld
having mega structures in the map proper is a great idea.

The bad
The campaign is far too short with a very rushed story.
The story is not good or interesting.
each mission is simplistic and quick.
many of the mechanics of the homeworld franchise were scrapped making tactical game play near nonexistent.
It is clearly designed as a live service money grab style game.
I feel like the VO is missing a lot of the cold military professionalism from previous games.

This game isn't for everyone, however, this game follows the rule of easy to learn and hard to master with a fun visual programming system.

your drones can handle logistics on their own however not very efficiently and they can be greatly improved with some effort in the programming system.

The game is setting up to allow the community to really make it awesome. I cant wait to see where this goes.

Yea, Its ok.

This game started as terrible as possible, but over the course of some years they have added so much great content.

The problem however, is that none of that content works.

Base building problems:
Bases sink into the ground over time until they are unreachable.
Electric wires cannot be connected to anything, making most base functions completely unusable.
Doorsways and doors do not open a walkway into the base, instead only opening to a solid wall.
Freighter Problems
If a freighter comes back damaged, it can never be repaired, and you cant use it while damaged
If you park your ship inside a freighter, it will explode when you try to launch by bouncing off the ceiling.
some times inside your freighter you might suddenly be stuck inside the roof or walls.
Misc problems
Many main line quests are bugged to hard lock your progression requiring a full game restart
The first time you have to walk to your ship in the beginning of the game, it is parked a 10 HOUR walk away
So every time you restart you have to walk for 10 hours to reach your ship for the first time.

The game seems designed so that you would love it just long enough to get outside of that manditory refund time frame. then the game goes down hill fast. many functions of the game, flat out do not work.

Perks system:
you can level up in every skill and most of them let you buy perks with points you get from leveling up... however.
the perks are always trade offs that you would never want such ase +2 to charisma -2 to strength and agility.

combos:
there arn't any. many combat perks are just combos that are supposed to do something i guess.. but no.
there is no difference in hitting a combo and just swinging wildly.

combat:
its broken. half the time when you swing at an enemy you automatically slide away until you are out of range so you can almost never hit them
the special attack function in the game is flat out broken. the button dosn't do anything.
every enemy and boss you face has an automatic perfect defence so if you swing at them they will block and you take damage, if they swing at you, you block and YOU take damage.

Other:
there are several situations where you have no choice, your character will act like a jerk and get you in trouble.
there is also a fight that is literally impossible, meaning that you have to loose for the story to progress. but it dosn't imply that you have to loose so i reloaded my save 20 times trying to win that fight.

in conclusion it is a broken buggy mess full of terrible design decisions and just enough good content to get you outside of that refund timer.
2/10 do not buy.

this was a good idea for a game but there is less than 2 hours of content making it pointless.

With so many "mine, craft better pick, and mine some more" cames out there you might expect that they are all the same, however Edge of space offers more of a survival gameplay that makes the game very interesting. The crafting system alows you to craft an item without having the exact resource, for example. instead of neading sand it might say Raw/mineral which means you can use any dirt/metal/ or stone for this part of the recipe.

The vertical map design makes the gameplay more interesting as well. The world is made up of floating islands of varying sizes and the dificulty and enviornmental hazards increase the lower you go.

I truly have high hopes for this game and I recommend you try it as well.
