Everspace

I wanted to get this out there before the latest Steam sale is over.
This game is a gem.
Great graphics, fun game play, loads to do, and somehow makes re-playability something you want to do...I'm in my 58th run...
This is essentially a rogue-like game in space. Maybe think FTL, but mixed with Privateer or the X-Wing series? You are Adam Rosin and you're trying to make it to sector 7. Why? That story gets revealed bit by bit as you progress. Along the way you're going to meet several different people with different reasons for interacting with you. All are interesting, but the story itself is even more interesting.
There are four ships with tons of mods, weapons, missiles, consumables, etc. that you can find to customize the game to be played in your preferred style.
I believe, but cannot confirm, that the game's levels evolve as you advance in runs. There were new landmarks and space hazards I was encountering during my runs in the 40s that I did not see prior? Not sure. I do know that I have beaten the story, yet I'm still playing.
I just checked the price and it's $30. There is also a sequel out now. Being as cautious about game pricing as I have become, I don't know that I'd recommend it at that price, BUT the sequel is $31 and I'm seriously considering grabbing it at that price because Everspace is so much fun. (I think I got it in a Humble Bundle or something.) It's not the money that is ever an obstacle, but whether or not I think a game should be priced at $_____. So, I'd say $10-15 is the range where you will feel awesome about this purchase. However, if $30 isn't an obstacle, grab it. The love that went into this one is worth it.
