I made a ship with a engine room that insta kills me from the heat
Radiation,
@@IMRROcom gorram reavers!
It might be because I was on a modded server but I was under the impression that getting instakilled from heat wasn't possible in Empyrion.
You must be a great engineer man
"Meet the Engineer"
Very good summing up of this gem of a game. I too am surprised how little known this game is, even among fans of the genre. One thing you didn't really mention was the Workshop ; you don't have to be good at building to play as there's a ton of great content out there for those of us not so talented on the design side.
He mentions it at the 7:30 mark
@Murphy deffa A lot of the multiplayer bugs are a matter of server quality and maintenance. Finding a good one is important.
you are surprised how little known this game is, in the same breath talks about the ton of content, did you maybe not realise that all the content was made by the playerbase
We know this game. We just don’t like it.
@@resurrectedstarships Not really I have played the shit out of Emp but there is a few really big problems.. PVP is non existent due to bugs especially desync and weapons lagging through the 1st layer of blocks and not registering the hit until they reach a component. Even on PVP servers no one wants to PVP as they are scared to lose ships resources etc. PVE is sooo boring after a while. Once you have flattened a few POI's and fought the NPC ships etc its just repetitive. One of the things I like is also a problem on some servers, grinding. Grinding on some servers is just too much and once the mines are all scooped up you need to rely on meteors which sucks IMO. Not being able to leave your seat while flying also sucks, why they haven't been able to do this yet is crazy. Another problem is windows HP is far too low meaning most people simply don't use them.
I don't know how long I've been underground on this forsaken rock. Days? Weeks? I couldn't tell you. Uppn landing here a gunship spotted me and drove me into a cliffside. The patrols come around every time I stick my head out of the ground, but they don't seem to have notice my water collector which is a godsend since the atmo is not breathable. Underground, limited air, intermittent power.
My life has been a monotonous grind attempting to get the fabricator to sort out basic minerals out of the compound I've excavated under the ground. I managed to give the gunship the slip the other day on my bike to go forage for food. I was so hungry I ate it raw, but getting sick was worth it not to die out here. I managed to get a refrisgerator running and between the few olants I managed to collect and the food I scavanged, i just might make it another week. Hopefully by then my new project will be complete and I can take care of that gunship....
10/10 would dig a hole to hide in again.
The last run I did a few years ago, I dug my base into a hill so gunships would stop blowing my stuff up. I made the entrance large enough for my hover miner to get inside and go nuts expanding everything. Good times!
Rescue this guy.........😵😯
Check to see if you're in hostile territory. One of the easier ways to evade drones is to stay out of their territory, at least long enough to unlock 30mm base cannons so you can shoot them down before they get in range. Barring that, you can use popup tactics to fight starter world drones using a regular assault rifle, just lay triangular concrete or steel base blocks to hide behind for a second.
I'm fucking sold
I remember one start on a multi-player server, me and a friend had a drone follow another player that ran back to the starting area/crash site. I dug a tunnel with two openings and we used it like a trench to take cover as we took pot shots at the drone with our pistols. As we were fighting it, a second drone wanders in. Went through a lot of bandages taking them down, but was a lot of fun. Despite the frustration, I thought it was a nice change from the rather mundane start I usually experience.
Been playing this game since 2015. I've played and own both SE, NMS, Elite Dangerous, Star Citizen and basically every Star Wars game you can imagine. Even still, this is without question the best space game ever made. It is the greatest example of what happens when a small dev team doesn't have a marketing team. It is a crime that this game isn't well known
This game really just didn’t feel smooth and vibe with me.
@@SetsunaInfinite 100% understandable. I love the game but i definitely get why others don't
@@SetsunaInfinite As someone with tons of hours I can attest that it's not smooth and its age shows in many ways. Hard disagree w/ OP that EGS is the best made space game. Having owned/played tons of hours into SE, NMS, SB, ED, DU, EVE, and SC I have to say that SC is now (as of 3.17) the best space game ever made!
Tons of annoying bugs to deal with but at the end of the day (even in its unfinished state that many bash it for) it has everything that all these other games have combined with the exception of building your own ship (which honestly most player built ships are trash looking as they go for extreme fantasy over anything near realistic vs the extreme details SC puts in their ships and the scale of them).
Use to be a hardcore basher of SC but now with the performance increase and me owning a more beefy PC it just can't be touched. Hell I learned just the other day that the damn game actually puts out real time in-game trading info on screens (I thought it was just typical static stuff to look cool) and that they have a system for the economy/trading (a loop that some dive into though trading is not for me). That's just one thing. I'll give EGS props for having a more full system compared to the others listed but it comes 2nd to SC as of this year.
@@EvilAnomaly I just can't see it and I highly doubt you have or will accumulate nearly as many hours on SC as it stands. I think you'll get bored quicker than you expect. SC still lacks way too much, it's a technical marvel, an impressive showcase of possibility.. but that's all it is and has been for too long..
This game brought us nearly everything SC promised, but 7 years sooner.. It may not have the detail and fidelity of SC, but unlike SC, this game is actually fun, it has things to do..
I do hope that SC someday becomes everything it's meant to be, but that seems a ways off..
@@EvilAnomaly players build shit ships and nice ships in SE. some build amazing ones. not ships only. whole lot of machinery doing things. SC i SE cant be compared at all. love both but dream of SE2 rather then of SC to be ever finished (they planning little building there as well but from prefabs)
I first played this game when it was confined to a single star system, it was so clunky. It sure has come a very very long way
Haha, I remember those days! We've come a long way for sure!
Same. Got it day one. Had like what, a moon and 4 other planets?
Had this sitting on my wish list for a while, might get it when I can now, seeing how interesting and cool it is.
One of the best games I have purchased...you can tell by hours played.
Ive owned this game since it was in alpha. It worth every penny tbh
It's fucking amazing.. Overwhelming at first, but once you get into the rythm it becomes a masterpiece.. Hands down in my top ten games of all time. I haven't played it in years, but the time I had with it is unparalleled, no other space sim touches this.
I’m a huge fan of the genre, but I probably wouldn’t have known about this one had it not been for a friend telling me about it when I was looking for something like Space Engineers but different ages and ages ago. It’s definitely rough in places and not perfect, but that’s par for the course in the genre, and what this one does have is fantastically fun. Very much worth the price of admission.
9.99 right now, I'm going for it
Thank you for making a video on Empyrion! I agree it really is a hidden gem. It's a very unique game that offers an experience I just haven't found in any other game before.
I've had the game since it was first on steam. It's changed alot since I first played it. I always loved how it had water. I used to make levels that had hangers that you needed to go through the water to get to
I was impressed, and then you showed the interstellar map! Holy cow!
The vanilla game has about 10,000 to 15,000 star systems! Reforged Eden (what he's showing here) has about 25,000.
Awesome to see someone with such a large following talk nicely about this game :) and i spotted my own ship in the background, so that was a highlight for me as well :D
This review is pure gold. Great work!
Nice to see you've had 150K+ viewers for this excellent vid :)
After over 2,200 hours since 2015 I still come back to Empyrion for a space survival fix. Worth noting that v1.8 has just been released and the Devs are *still* working hard on the game after seven years and communicate daily with the fanbase!
Nice vid. Haven't played this in ages and been thinking of doing a run and damn, this game has changed a LOT since I last played it. Looks even more amazing then ever. I have a couple hundred hours with this game but it's all from very early days.
...Damn. This looks like a game I'm going to get asap. :D Never even heard of it, even though I've tried googling space games to play many many many times. Thank you!
Thanks for this video. Empyrion certainly is "its own thing" and is definitely worth a look. It is quite an achievement from a very small dev team.
I played Empyrion when it was still in early access and before they had completed the tutorial campaign. I had another shorter spell once the developers had largely fleshed out the faction interaction / reputation functionality in, which meant the starter planet had all these 'territories' on it.
- One area Empyrion shined for me was the vegetation (and amount), particularly on the temperate planets and on some of the slightly alien planets - space engineers still doesn't quite match that look and feel
- I also liked the survival mechanics such as growing various items in plots and synthesising different 'dishes' with said ingredients (there's at least a few good mods to support this in Space Engineers now)
- They also were 'ahead of the game' so to speak w.r.t. the different construction materials, particularly for ground / space structures; NMS soon overtook that, then Space Engineers caught up some time later, but credit where it is due.
For me, many of the textures on the ship construction blocks detract from the overall product, but since I last played they've certainly improved the starmap and by the looks of things, rather polished the look of planets when viewed from space and on approach for landing.
- With the appropriate mods, Space Engineers for me now caters for the niche that Empyrion covers, along with SE's speciality in terms of constructing various articulated machinery and generally, better visual polish.
That said, I don't regret the time I put into Empyrion and for folks that haven't played it yet: Probably worth a go.
I’ve been live streaming this game myself trying to get its name out there more. So underrated, and so much fun to play with others. Fantastic video and summed up extremely well!
I've got over 3000 hours and I learn new things everyday. this is the best game I've ever played.
Great video! As I understand it, Eleon is a little 7 person game studio. Game is still somewhat buggy, but has come a long way since Alpha 8 (3 years?), and yet I have over 3k hours in it. Just keep coming back. Love building my own ships. It has much larger and more aggressive universe than Space Engineers. If you want more challenge, turn on resource depletion, CPU and Weight limits. Server hosting is inexpensive too, so it's fun to play with a team.
Oh wow! So happy to see this channel active again!
I just wish No man's sky had the space exploration of Elite Dangerous. I don't like that in No man's sky, all the planets are so unrealistically close to each other and the sun is just an unreachable object in the sky. But No man's sky has the ground exploration that Elite dangerous does not. So if those 2 games combined than I would be real happy.
It would also be real nice if the planets in No man's sky had more than just 1 type of weather on each planet, like the poles and equator are the same temperature and the biome is the same for the entire planet. It would be cool if some planets had deserts but also forests and maybe glaciers on the poles. But I know that's real hard to make and could take a year of dedicated work to implement into the game.
I have had this one since it came out in early access. It's one I always return to. It's awesome and the devs upgrade it a lot.
I've got over 4000 hours in this game, from since it was first available, to today. Thanks for bringing some more eyes on it.
I'd recommend using reforged/eden scenario, available on the workshop, as it adds tons of new content/weapons and changes up the rules a little, along with new factions.
u r probably 10y if u play this garbage and your sponge bob profile picture only proves my point
All Hail Klang, Lord of chaos, destroyer of grids, master of glitches (on Space Engineers)
Haven't found him here yet ;)
I recall playing this game in its early days - it was frustrating to say the least...but I am very happy to see it has come a long way :)
I love this game and would love to see more videos showing people how amazing it is. I have 2,253 hours of playtime and bought this years ago. The team building is tiny and has a meager budget but it's really a labor of love. If you would like an extra player I would love to join your server.
Ty for your input!!!👍👍👍
Your time spent showing me a game I will try now!!!!
I really have to thank you. I bought this game a long time ago, and it wasn't finished. Totally forgot about it, and I was sitting here miring in my lack of games to play. I kicked her up, and jumped right in. It's so different!
Thank GOD someone is finally talking about this game. Got it on sale a long time ago for like $8 and it's genuinely one of the best I've ever played. Nothing quite beat that feeling of first jumping out of my ship, my lifeline, to manually mine an asteroid and stare into the fringes of the galaxy feeling uneasy like there's something there then turning 180 and being dumbstruck by the breathtaking awe of the galactic core. Such an underrated feature that the sky box looks different depending on where you are in it
Holy shit, this looks awesome. Thanks for making a video on this!
This gave me the push I needed to grab this game while it was on sale. Looks fun.
Played this a couple years ago and man has this improved definitely have to take a look
Great video, this looks like a real hidden gem! I definitely want to give it a try.
Great vid, great game. The part where you fell from your hovering ship made me giggle.
Forgot I had this in my library, played this 3 years ago and it was rough, looks good now though, I might jump back in and give it another try
Yes this is a very underrated game and I have thousands upon thousands hours invested in this game and you WILL get your moneys worth in buying it. Seams like I always fall back to this game over and over again which says alot..Nice review man, ofcourse there is alot more to cover about this game but that would take alot more than one video
Thanks for this vid - I've had this since it's pre alpha - have not looked at it for about 5 years
Wow, this game looks awsome, i never had heard about it so, good thing YT recommended me your video.
Best played with a few friends and not on a public server.
The Reforged Eden mod adds quite a bit to the game and is worth the download.
Loved this game. Played a lot when it came out haven’t played in a long time
lmao I absolutely love this game [layed it so much and still play years later. a game you keep coming back to
Good video
Looked and saw that it’s been 3 years since I last played Empyrion, guess it’s time to give it another go
Nice Jack Burton quote at 3:10. Nicely done! Instant subscribe
Saw this vid on my homepage randomly, gave it the 10 mins, and immediately went to steam and picked this up for 20 bucks. I have Space Engineers, NMS and Elite D, so seeing it all mixed together is awesome, without having to wait another 15 years for Star Citizen, as amazing as that games promises may be, this is a good one to tide me over. Ill check back when i get a few hours into this.
How are/did you get on with it?
Thanks for the info👍🏼. I love playing Scrap mechanic and Space engineers and also Star Ship Evo and this one fits right in there. I'll be sure to check this one out. Thanks 👍🏼
This is a nice overview of a great game that doesn't get enough attention. I'm a former SE player that started playing Empyrion a couple of years ago and I haven't looked back. SE is a great engineering game, but Empyrion is so much better for PvE, and that's what I want when I play a space survival/building game.
Glad I watched this.. Not sure how I haven't heard of this before.. Thanks!
I've been playing this game since the early Beta days and it has come along way since that time. I highly recommend it for people that love exploring and building games. There allot for options and mods for this game that have made it enjoyable to play over many years. I recommend new players start with the base game then try some of the larger mod scenarios like ReforgedEden but there are also allot of smaller fun scenarios like Star Salvage that alter the gameplay significantly making it new and fun.
Also, you've made me miss playing it to the point I want to get into a server and play. I'd definitely help people that need it.
This. Game. Looks. Awesome!
Seriously, this has the feel of that I _thought_ Elite Dangerous was when I first encountered that game in my teens. This also, really, really, seems to be what Star Citizen is trying to accomplish, it just seems it from an earlier epoch (graphics wise!). Still, this video throws me back to games such as Hunter on the Amiga, which was just so exciting to explore!
What the heck, thanks for showing this gem for us, i had no clue this game is this capable. I saw some on-foot gameplay before, but it seemed so clunky that i did not try the game myself. But i had no clue about the ship-building aspect, that part saves the game in my opinion, even though some other parts are surpisingly well put together too.
I played this a couple of years ago with my bro. So much fun. I will have to try it out again 😊
Holy crap.... ive had this game for a while but barely played, i did not realize its sooo indepth!!!
Man I was hoping more people would cover empyrion. It's actually pretty good for what seems like a really low budget. I honestly don't even know how I found it
As a Star Citizen player, this looks amazing, essentially what SC is striving to do with extremely high graphics in comparison, but sometimes you don't need that, you need gameplay! thank you for making a video, i will most deff get this whilst SC catches up lol
Okay this looks like fun. I'll be off to download it as soon as I get home tomorrow.
Never heard of this game. Looks interesting, thanks for the vid.
Bought this game a few years or so ago. Played for a while, I liked it then. It looks great now! I will definitely be exploring it again.
Great video for such a gem of a game. A hidden one indeed.
I'd forgotten about this since it was early access, definitely looks great now
Empyrion Galactic Survival is a sweet spot of many Game mechanics.
Without fail once you find some mates It will be a great time and if you somehow get bored of the main game their is many modded servers you can join to spice things up
No need to be the best at FPS or building cool ships. Follow the story or make your own.
Great to see this gem getting some spot light
11,250 hours into the game and I never get bored. Now that the War and Industry mod has been released things just keep getting better and better.
Great video. Really nice for those considering giving Empyrion a go. 👍🏻
i remember when this game first released in early access. has come a long way.
It is a true gem of a game, it was started by a single person who has done the majority of the work and has only recently been getting help from the games community. It is very community based and is still a work in progress and it still has some problems but the game has progressed better than other games that are similar and have a large number of people working on them. I personally play it on my own and it doesn't need to be played on a dedicated server. I have found that it is a better building game than the majority of games that claim to be building games. It is extremely good value for money and I am very happy with it.
I'm really surprised more people aren't aware of or play this game. It really has something for everyone. Even my gf played it for a bit. She enjoyed setting up a farm and making/trading us the best meals.
I have 3300 hours in this game. Its fantastic. I'm also surprised that not more people play it.
I have this game for sooo long in my Steam library... I should finally give it a go! :D
Dam, I remember empirion as low-budged space engineers parody, now it's gorgeous! Gona return and play it
one of the best space survivals there is
Great video dude!!! i gota install and try it again!
Finally, Empyrion is getting the popularity it deserves!
I've had Empyrion in the library for several years. I spent 470 hours in this game and I can honestly say that it is worth attention. It is true that the character animations are a bit clunky, but the producer is constantly improving the elements of the game. If you like constructing all kinds of vehicles and buildings and space exploration, you can buy this game without thinking.
looks cool. definitely considering giving it a look!
Been playing this for a bit now. I love it so much!!!!!!!!!
This game has been my go to survival crafting game. It hits all the right notes. Building is not nearly as complex as Space Engineers, although the simplicity has its drawbacks as you cannot design a starship that can print smaller starships like in SE. The level of exploration rivals that of No Man's Sky and you can spend hours lost on a single planet just exploring the natural beauty of each world or spend countless hours building your mega starship that will hold all of your smaller ships and hover vessels. Looting and survival are on par with other survival games like Ark or 7 Days to Die, both of which I do love.
I love the fact that you can design and build your own starships and they can be as creative as you want them to be. The only other game that rivals this in that category is Space Engineers, but I find Empyrion's building systems far easier to learn and just pick up and play.
You don't even need to be an expert builder as the Steam workshop has countless number of vessels made by the community over the years that you can bring into the game with the built in factory option that is usually available to the player, unless it is disabled by server admins. Some of those starships on the workshop look incredible and wouldn't look out of place in a sci-fi show.
They have been working on this game for a long time it has come a long way.
it is super fun if you love to build and the blueprint system is so cool.
Wow I remember seeing this game for the first time way back in 2014 !! I FORGOT ABOUT IT !!! Looks drastically better
I got this when there was still just one planet. It was as janky as Planet Explorers ended up.
Tried it again maybe two years ago when I noticed that it has seen constant development over the years.
The difference between then and now is amazing, and the player and modding community is equally so.
i forgot i had this game. now i put 193 hours in to it .. well done to devs
Empyrion keeps getting better over the years. It got a lot of flak in its early days when it released, but it's a very different game than it was back in 2015. With more polish, and really just more players making things and interacting with each other, it would be amazing. One of the biggest issues with this game is the lack of population. With more people, the devs might feel more encouraged to work on it more, though it seems like they have done so very well for the past decade, even if it's not so popular. They deserve a lot more recognition for what they've done
This is my most played game in my Steam list, more than 1500 hours of gameplay.
Thanks for give some spotlight on empyrion! I just love this game. We can do so many things in that universe. In empyrion I finally built my own burger / n... medicine distribution network, but Zirax are bad, they dont like burgers, they send waves of drones and ships, like a antiburgers crusade and destroy my dream. I fought until the end. Lost my ammo, but I go warhammer with a chainsaw against the foot soldiers. Was funny till the end.
Best space survival game by a long shot!
Bro truth! I’ve owned empyrion for about 3 years now and just discovered reforge eden and I’m in love with it.
OMG!! That view at 9:20 is awesome!
My most played game on Steam, best expended 10 bucks ever. Best devs I personally have ever run into. Updates continue with no end in sight.
I've played this game on and off since ALPHA 7 which is years ago and I can tell you while the updates are slow, the game still get love from its creators. I hope people see this and create a more updated Empyrion or a new empyrion 2
Wow never heard of this game! Looks amazing!
This game looks like space engineers but way better. I cant believe I've never heard of this before
Man I have to get this game I have a Nintendo switch and a PC and on PC I only use steam. I really would like this game though it looks really sweet. I don't have a whole lot of time to look up a bunch on it but I have time to finish your video which I haven't finished yet. Thank you so much for letting me know about this game because it looks f****** right up my alley.
Love this game. Picked it up in October 23 and have played almost 800 hours in the past 6 months
Thanks for sharing.. really looks like a hidden gem..
Wow, game has progressed A LOT since I used to play it. You used to be limited to a square grid. There was no "planet" really. Now there's multiple planets? And multiple systems? Awesome.
Holy crap, I have this game. I only played 40 minutes of it because I played it way back in 2017 when it was pretty rough around the edges and just assumed it was gonna be dumped and forgotten like every other similar game at that period... Holy crap I need to try this game out again.
i like how at 5:48 you’re showing off a rendition of the Mining Barge from Eve Online. always loved mining in that beast
one issue that we have encountered when playing on a server is that when we are all online and we park our capital ship in space and log out, if someone else logs is and moves the ship, you will be left in space when you log back in, we still love the game and game play, and return to it and start a new server when major updates come out and expand the story line, and we also have gotten into running mods like eden and reforged. great game overall, and by far the best steam sale pickup ive bought in years
another issue, when landing on a station we feel that your ship should be protected from attack which isnt the case
Yoo your voice at points is like a trippy parametric between regular and automated text to chat.
I fly around in the Normandy sr2 looking for things to kill/mine park in orbit and drop down to the planet in my Delta flyer from STV lol. I love this game.
sv or cv?
i had tried out some time ago the cv Normandy SR2 from AssA and did not really like it.
I see familiar names on commenting already, and I agree with them. Thank you for the video, Empyrion is a hidden gem. I would even emphasize it to be Space Minecraft, and its Reforged Eden -mod as RLCraft. Reforged and Eden combo consist yet again much more playmaterial and depth.
I've logged in hours of late night building. Building my first ships made me feel like a kid with Legos again.
You should be considered the marketing department. Im going to buy it now
EGS is definitely a hidden gem! I've played it off and on for years, mostly single player. I've only got a couple hundred hours in it, but it's one of those games I keep installed always, for whenever I get the itch to play it again.
ok, 10 euro in a special promotion. Buying it. Thnx for a nice general overview. Had my eye on it for a while, let's try it.
