I also made another version with the different equipments in the game.

Looking forward to the release in May :)

Purple Cat is my favorite channel to tune in to when I'm looking for some calm and relax time. And of course that includes our beloved space sim Elite Dangerous. I usually shuffle through their playlist but for this submission I decided to go with my all time favorite "Midnight Snack".

Here's my pilot's selfie, just an old and chill man wandering around the galaxy enjoying his retirement days. (Until there's some space bugs to be taken care of)

After spending some time trying out the current demo on steam I think the game has some great potentials in the action RPG genre.

It's a nice blend of fast action combat, character building and exploration that we all know and love. The futuristic dystopian setting is one of my favorites as well so that's also a plus in my book.

As for the game itself, I work in graphic design and UI/UX so I always appreciate when I see developers put their attention to details for the game UI and the actual world/stages.

For the combat and gameplay, I think it's abit early to tell but so far I think it's pretty fluid and designed to reward the players pretty well for trying to learn the different mechanics. I enjoyed the first boss alot when it finally clicked for me.

And then there's the class/gear system, we only have presets in the demo so I can't really tell how it will be in the final version but there's a decent amount of variety so I hope there's more to come. I enjoyed all the classes availble because they play pretty different too.

All in all a hidden gem I glad I found thanks to Just. Looking forward to try the game on release this upcoming May.

I gotta admid I thought the game was a bit easy when I first going through the regular enemies but then this guy 2 tapped me on my first try, a pleasant surprise for sure. Took a couple more tries to finally beat him and it felt pretty good when you get the timing for dodges and parries down. Definitely looking forward to more bosses later on because this guy got me hooked as a tutorial boss of sort.

One of the most beautiful graphic I've seen in recent years. Had to crop them abit because there's no option to hide HUD ingame yet. (or maybe I'm just blind xD)

The ancient ruin with red plants is probably my favorite out of the two landscapes I managed to find so far.

When I first learned how to fly FA off it took awhile but once it clicked you actually gained so much more control of your ship. One of my favorite tip is the quick turn. To put it simply you toggle FA off, boost and yank your ship in a direction then toggle FA on again and adjust your ship direction after. It's alot quicker than doing the whole maneuver with FA on.

The character creation is surprisingly detailed with multiple options to customize your face. My favorite is probably the scar, while it's pretty simple it still does the job well and the character model / lighting is pretty good too. If the developer adds some more options for the body like muscle mass or body scars etc I think it would be even better.

I just found out about Empyreal because of Just and went on looking for some gameplay demo and found Nilnyar's video. He went through the character creation,the controls and of course some early gameplay that's pretty helpful for someone like me who doesn't know about the game yet.
Looks like it has some great potential in the genre so definitely gonna give this a try come release in May :)
