Not gone, but a lot has been going on (That Ryhmes...)

Hey everyone. I know it's been quite a some time since we have posted or patched the game.

It's been a very complex ride after the release, and I will go more into it in another post.

What I wanted to get out there was that we are still alive and we have not just abandoned you, but there were logistical things that had to take priority.

In my next post I will ellaberate on that more directly, as I can not at the moment. But to say the least, please bare with us.

About This Game

Suit up as an operative of the Ark Corporation, sent to the farthest reaches of the universe in search of habitable planets to terraform. However, after the long space journey you awaken from cryosleep to find that your ship has gone way off course and is disabled near a strange new world. With no choice but to descend to the surface and figure out how to survive long enough to complete your mission, you step into the escape pod.

Along the way you’ll gather resources to craft armor, weapons, facilities, and vehicles to help you explore the world and conquer its aggressive inhabitants. Your base of operations will evolve from a few basic facilities exposed to the elements into a hardened fortress full of advanced technologies that let you accomplish amazing improvements to your equipment and alter the environment itself.

Be careful, though; almost everything down there wants to kill you, including fierce laser space sharks, artillery-toting polar bears, wickedly quick jetpack penguins, and even crazier horrors. Out on the Edge of Space, you must adapt or you die. Good luck, ArkCo Operative!

Key Features

  • Open World Exploration– Dynamically-generated 2D sandbox set in the deepest recesses of space, explore randomly generated caverns, wormhole anomalies and dive deeper into the planet to discover valuable resources and other rare phenomenon.

  • Research System – A new research system allows players more freedom to discover new areas of technology in exploration, combat, base building, and much more.
  • Command Center Management – Establish your central base of operation by creating the ultimate Command Center customized with defensive turrets, hangers and repair drones. Make improvements to protect yourself from the constant environmental changes like radiation storms and other anomalies.
  • PIOS (Power Input Output Systems) – A simple drag and drop tool, letting you design electrical systems as basic as powering a light or as complex as creating your own logic gates.

Sigh, was really hoping some of the other Terraria in space games would pan out, but this is so inferior to Terraria or Starbound that I can't even recommend it if you're desperate.

Even if you think 'Terraria in space' is unfair for anything to live up to, the game is abandoned early access trash and not worth it even on its own merits. If it ever gets a transformative update, I'll gladly wipe this review.

In the mean time, try Craft the World instead. No, it's not the same but it's far more polished than this, and once you get the hang of not directly controlling an avatar, far more enjoyable.

Took a bit to get into but overall I liked it. Definitely think a few things could change but it wasn't as bad as some of these reviews seem to be portraying it. I didn't like the completely polarised armour for sure. If you want a decent amount of inventory you need to give up health and damage, if you want damage you can't have inventory or health, etc. That bugged me because I don't want to keep 3 sets of armour on me at all times just in case. I think the worst thing though is that in the late tier you get some special weapons and tools but they can only be used while wearing a very specific armour. So unless you want to carry that armour and the tool these great items become entirely useless. Levelling also seems to be a huge grind. I ended up just creating the machines that mine quickly and straight up hollowing out entire massive chunks of land to get the xp (I think it has a name in the game though, like Research or something instead of xp). I still found it fun to progress solo, though. One of this games big issues is the crafting system. It would be really nice if you could initiate crafting while in a chest's inventory so that both your inventory and the chest's would be checked for crafting materials. Its really annoying to have to constantly take small things from chests for each thing you need to make, especially since there are so many different materials in this game (which is a good thing but cumbersome in this case).

Tl;dr Its a good game but it takes a bit of dedication. And if you aren't the type to look past small issues or annoyances then this might not be great for you.

This is not what I consider a full release game. Unintuitive, so many many different gui menus that all look bad. And there's still nothing to really do, you spawn, accept a quest, and then plumet repeatedly because the planet is more vertical than horizonal with floating islands everywhere. Can't figure out half the keys, or how to finish some dungeons. Oh and 2 meters to far down = fast death from radiation for some unapparent reason.

This game is a terriable rehash of Terraria and space, if your looking for something similar go for Starbound.

This game has promise - is what I would have said over 2 years ago now.

When I first got it, I loved it! The aesthetics were appealing and it was like a fresh new take on terraria, one of my top played games at that time. After about 20 hours I was just screwing around in the "end game" with my buddy who I bought the game for as well (got a 2-pack because I liked the idea so much)

And.. that was it. I was going to try playing again and went over the patch history, and it was basically barren. In fact it hasn't even been touched once this year.

Fortunately about 6 months after I bought this game I purchased Starbound, haven't looked back. If you're reading this and you're interested in a fun sci-fi side scroller just go for Starbound! It has the same sandbox elements with an actual story integrated, and about 100x as many features as this game.

Thank you for your time, and RIP Edge of Space.

I bought the game a long time ago, and it was garbage. Tried it again couple months ago, still ♥♥♥♥. Dont buy. Devs have abandoned this crap game anyway. You have to be mentally impaired to buy this, I only have it because it was new at the time there was no reviews so I had no way to see if was good or not.

When I first got the game, it was some what of a let down, don't get me wrong, the art was detailed and nice, the tutorial mission was decent for giving information (but was very boring, to me atleast) and there was some very nice potential for the game.

But, the gameplay was, and is, really quite boring, the enemies (atleast the one I found so far) aren't interesting to fight, and really are to easy (atleast i think so), the tedious grinding for materials feels bland and unrewarding, and, currently, the development for this game has died and is most likely dead in the water.

But, I do have some hope that they will fix these promblems, and that they start adding new content to the game.

Normally only post reviews for games I enjoy. However, this game was awful enough that I had to post something. I didn't buy this game when it released, nor when it was in early access. No, I KICKSTARTED this game. That was the promise and intrigue I had in this game. But it is just a slap in the face. Developers, which started out with constant updates, began to slowly abandon the game. The graphics, which are actually painful to look at, never got better. The crafting system is unique but just so unpolished. This game is a complete disgrace to the games it is copying.

I simply adored the idea behind this game, but the devs seem to have abandoned it, so this game is now nothing but a broken promise that should be avoided.

Bought this game a year or to back expecting it to be terraria in space. well thats a joke. Not only that the games abandon and worthless. The topper? on the store page they have a "special edition" worth almost double the base game price. WHat content would this special edition hold you wonder? lets see the base game and nothing else. RIP if you payed double the price for the base game.
