I was very hesitant in buying the game since there was no updates for over a year. Then i learned that there was real health issues that happened with the single developer and could not help this. I do not have the detaisl and do not know what happened. What made me buy it was that there was all of a sudden an update and game was in wishlist for long time. As for the game, for an early access game it is great. Lots to do at the moment. Yeah missions are repetitive but lots of ships and parts to choose from. I would recommend if on a special. I supported the dev since he did not run away. I hope his health is better and that he can work on the game again and make it a great game. EDIT: 2026-10-04 I still recommend the game but disappointed that I cannot find or buy any ships higher than Carrier. I guess I am done with the game then. This cannot be correct and must be a bug but how can no ships higher than carrier be found? Looking all over for Battle destroyers, Battleships and Dreadnaughts, they are all just gone. Cannot get it. So up to this point the game was great, i enjoyed it but I guess its done now and time to move on to other game since I cannot go further because I cannot find higher/bigger attack/battle ships. Its a pity, I enjoyed the game but warning to others who want to buy.
Please don't be discouraged by the alarming "abandonned!" comments you can read here. This game has hundreds of hours of content and is 95% complete. The developer had a life threatening accident in real life and the development stopped for almost a year. The dev *did* inform us about it, it's not like he gosted us. The comments makes it seem like the dev just took the money and ran leaving us with a half baked product. We've had 158 updates in Early Access as I'm writing this comment. Hardly the bait and switch other reviews make you believe, don't you think? It's great and there's a ton to do. I have hundreds of hours on GoG, don't look at my Steam game time, it's not representative. And again, even if it were abandonned ... it's $5 on sale every other week. Relax. Dozens of hours of fun can be had, even if you only scratch the surface.
Fantastic game, intuitive and vast in scope. If you like Eve but are tired of getting jumped whenever you arrive in a new system, this game is for you. The developer has been through some rough times, so don't expect a ton of updates, but there is an amazing amount to do as it is.
Arrived late to this game as it fkew completely under my radar. anyway download rather recently despite some of the various omments bemoaning the lack of updates etc or that it should not be regarded as early access anymore and that it is abandoned. Some players stated that it was perfectly playable and had experienced no bugs. Considering the price is less than a pint of beer in some lands i decided to se for myself. Overall look and feel when in space flying around doing battles mining and missions it is fine and fun. Just don't expect high quality NPC characters if you visit an outpost. Just ignore them as they are merely a place holder to get some missions if you want and thats all. The dev was kind enough to include al the files which are easily editable in any text reader as notepad etc so no need to go hunting for cheats or mods if you want to make life a little easier for yourself. You do not have to grind for hours to get enough credits to buy a ship as you can simply edit the file. Yes that is cheating but i bought the game and decided a short cut to avoid the grind was perfectly fine. once I had a ship i went on the rampage hunting raiders and of course died over and over again but gained some experience and slowly upgraded as one can save the game at almost any point.....just hit ESC key and save then go back and just try to escape if the enemies are giving you a hard time. Made life much easier as the occasional loot crate had something worthwhile to help me progress without having to edit files etc. The game is rather simple in many respects but it is relaxing and fun if you like Eve but hate the ganking and the never ending frustration of trying to accomplish something only to have someone simply mess up your day. Is it one of the best out there aboslutely no but is it worth the price then I would say yes it is. I am only 31 hourss in and for the price of a beer i have no compliants...I have triple A games in my Library that i paid 60 70 USD for and was done and dusted after 20 hours... I have also not yet tried out the sandbox campaigns or crafting a game to meet my own designs yet so i expect to get at least another 30 hours or more play for my small payment. Who knows if the Dev gets enough support maybe he finds time to have another look and give a future update but the game as it i s right now is pretty much complete.
To all the people just writing abandonware, you need to stop. I feltI had to weigh in here because the developer of this game, due to a severe, life-threatening accident that required extensive physical rehabilitation had to wrap up the development, He already told this publicly. Tthis was his passion project and he added a few last updates in 2025 and declared the project wrapped. For a one man team, this game is an incredible success and if you liked Eve Online, you would absolutely love Astrox too. I don't usually add reviews but I feel credit must be given to the person who worked very hard on this project and fortunately he survived his ordeal. Very much recommended if you like chill spaceship management and fleet action. Good day.
