Empyrion – Galactic Survival, from indie developer Eleon Game Studios, features space and planetary exploration, building and construction, mining and resource gathering, survival, crafting, and space and land combat. The Unity 3D engine enables Empyrion to uniquely combine elements from space simulations, construction games, survival games and ego-shooters. It can be played as single-player, co-op, PvP or PvE.

The universe is your playground; you can go wherever you want. Warp between solar systems. Fly from planet-to-planet. Land on giant asteroids.

If you are orbiting a planet and see a mountain on the surface, you can actually descend to the planet and land on the mountain. Then you can disembark and freely explore your surroundings. If you walk around on the planet and see a moon on the horizon, you can fly your spaceship to this moon and land on it.

Each planet has its own characteristics and potentially unforgiving conditions. To survive, you’ll have to adapt to whatever environment you may find.

You will discover alien planets with harmful cosmic radiation or acid rain, or with gravity so strong that it practically sticks you to the surface. The game simulates a wide variety of climates and weather conditions.

Empyrion features a variety of enemies, from wild creatures living on planets to intelligent alien races that can and will attack you at any time or place. You might find a pirate space station to attack and loot, perhaps finding items of value such as a blueprint for an advanced alien weapon technology.

You’ll have absolute freedom in a vast, procedurally-generated galaxy featuring hundreds of different solar systems. Each solar system contains several planets, each with its characteristics: planet type, gravity, atmosphere, number of moons, terrain, surface, vegetation, climate, and resources.

A geniune free-roaming experience awaits you in Empyrion, where survival is key.

A Kickstarter campaign is in progress until November 27, 2014. If you like what you see, please be generous with your support.

Release date for Alpha Early Access is March 2015 on PC. Support for other platforms is under consideration. The game’s final release is scheduled for Dec 2015.
