This means that when you’re plotting your course, you might want to stop in the more challenging area to get some of that precious fuel the enemies will drop. To exit an area, you just need to point your ship in the direction of a warp point that is always displayed on your HUD (unless that area has jammed your signal) and the only thing keeping you from constantly jumping to the next area is the fuel it takes to do so. Once in there, you’ll start mining, salvaging, and fighting to help make it to the next point on the map. As your character develops, you can earn the ability to detect environmental hazards from the map or you can see how deadly an area will be so that you can plot your course through space how you see fit. You choose each unique area on a diverging star map. You begin adrift in space, unaware of your history or your objective outside of your onboard computer pointing you towards a vague goal. What sets Everspace apart is in the fluidity of its controls and the effortlessness by which it executes on all of its disparate parts. Persistent character progression isn’t revolutionary by itself, however. The controls are also good enough on their own to be worth repeatedly starting your game from scratch. Like Rogue Legacy before it, Everspace allows each run (while randomized and unique) to be a stepping stone persistent character upgrades afford the mechanics room to grow and mature while also giving meaningful and satisfying additions along the way. For me, it was in the lack of any character progression in between runs that would always halt all momentum and fun I might have had. The genre’s regular trappings, procedurally generated areas and run-based gameplay loops, offer a different and interesting way to explore a game’s mechanics. For a while, it seemed like every game took some inspiration from the genre, which left behind a great deal of bland copycats. Roguelike is a term bandied about a lot in recent years.
