About This Game Astrox Imperium is my attempt to create the space game that I wanted to play, but no one had created. I wanted a single player, open-world space game that is similar to games I enjoyed, like Homeworld and EVE, with economies, factions, and a story. A game where I could set all the parameters, and the universe would come alive with new challenges each time I played. I tried to take the best of what I liked from many of my favorite space games, and combine them into something simple but deep, familiar yet fresh, and enjoyably addicting to play.The human struggle to survive is an all too familiar one. As the planet collapsed into an ecological depression, mankind as a whole is forced to expand his vision to the skies. A grand ship was built, and the ‘Imperium’ was scheduled to launch mankind into the future. With a new Quantum technology at its core, the Imperium was mankind’s greatest achievement. Putting aside all differences, the people of world came together. Under a common goal, the efforts of an entire generation came to fruition. The Imperium was ready to carry the dreams of us all, and with it, the hopes of finding a second chance.Not any one person knows the whole truth, but from what can be gathered, here is what we know. The Imperium was destroyed, and many of the human pioneers perished during the event. The survivors congregated together and began to build a temporary home from the wreckage of the ship itself. At first they waited for rescue, but it wasn’t long before the first ones accepted their fate.It has been 230 years now, and mankind has been quite busy out there in the stars. The story of the Imperium, passed down through the generations, have all but faded away completely.The main game play loops are fairly simple, and familiar. What makes Astrox Imperium unique, is the way that you can easily glide between the various loops to maintain a nice level of progression, without it feeling any more ‘grindy’ than you want it to. Sure, you can just mine rocks if you want, but Astrox Imperium provides you many different ways to progress your pilot.As with most space games of this genre, mining is a big mechanic of Astrox. It is the easiest way to earn credits, and most players are familiar with how it works. You can also complete contract missions. These are randomly generated missions that offer a variety of task and objectives to complete. Some of these contracts are combat missions that will involve raiders, pirates, and sometimes regular npcs. The combat missions offer a bit more action to an otherwise relaxed game. The rate at which you choose to progress is up to you. You are given a number of game options allowing you to adjust 'the grind' and speed of the game. There are a number of small, interesting little mechanics sprinkled throughout the game that were given a lot of thought and care, but you will not find anything groundbreaking or innovative here. This game is meant to feel comfortable and familiar. The game play loops are designed to be simple enough to understand quickly, and complex enough to enjoy over many hours of play.Many of the classic mechanics from the space game genre have been incorporated into Astrox Imperium. Basic interface controls were designed using elements from some RTS and FPS games. All the fan favorites and core game play elements have been included; mining, crafting, trading, refining, fleets, combat, exploration, survival, and more. This game will seem familiar to fans of the space survival / exploration game genre. Here is a list of features that are currently in the game.

As a former EVE player the mechanics are very easy and familiar. The only thing missing is other players trying to kill you while you mine, which is a good miss for me. In 3 1\/2 hours I have hit level 4. I have trained skills, and am saving up for my next ship. I highly recommend this game for people looking for fun; especially for EVE veterans who would like a single player EVE-like experience. Thumbs up. It is early access so be mindful this is not yet a finished product. It is however, from what I have seen, a one person operation - so please give him your support.. Just one big grind. Not very fun.. YES! so. I've been enjoying Astrox since #1. I was playing EVE, and lets face it, most of us "new" players of EVE get flat out bored with it. There are no exciting battles, that you see on the tube or read in blogs, Heck we don't even get far enough to even OPEN a spreadsheet, let alone make use of one, if we can even read how ti connects with the game.So being the fun game server person I am, I started looking for a decent EVE PS, but they are sorely lacking big time. So did a search of "offline EVE" and what do you know - ASTROX came in to the results. While I did enjoy the first one, it did get repetitive, and did not quite have the EVE feel I was hoping for. The game in it self was great, but was still missing something.The ASTROX IMPERIUM came out. NOOOWWWW it feels a lot like "solo-EVE". The depth of the 3D effects, missions and just about everything but the boring stuff. Now is it a "EVE OFFLINE" - not really, if anything, ASTROX IMPERIUM is a compliment to EVE. it has enough to be it's own game successfully, yet scratch that EVE ONLINE itch most of us have. Now it is said in the wiki that it has a mix of homeworld, but I could not feel it. Maybe because I was searching for something a little more "faster" than EVE, without it being EVE. ASTROX IMPERIUM is the ticket. Personally, I would compare this more towards the X series (earlier ones up to and including TC). However, I believe ASTROX IMPERIUM holds its own very well.If you want a nice smooth space game, or a very close EVE "offline" style - this is for you. ASTROX IMPERIUM is built way better than the first. And no, you do not need to play the first at all. The first one is a game all its own as well.Enjoy!!PSI know I mentioned EVE a lot in my opinion of ASTROX IMPERIUM, but that is what brought me here - I was looking for something that felt like eve, now I am hooked on ASTROX IMPERIUM and EVE has been shelved (prob permanently). its a good game even in this early stage.graphics have just had a good update, an it plays like an easy EVE i guess.after a while theres not much to do, but im sure this will change and get a bit more complex as time goes on, and for the price its well worth it to support this dev, as he always comes through and does a good job. Astrox Imperium is a quieter more reflective space sim. Astrox Imperium is Eve without grievers, gankers , fraudsters, real life spies and all the problems that make it toxically unfun . Fun, Calming and engaging. ITs early access but there is a clear vision, highly recommended if you prefer slower paced games. If you want a fast pace, petal to the meddle dogfighting game skip it. Enough talk time to get my inner care bear on.
