As someone who loves X4: Foundations, Elite Dangerous, Space Engineers, and even the empire-building chaos of Mount & Blade: Bannerlord, Avorion scratches a very specific itch in a way few games do. It blends space exploration, ship building, trading, combat, mining, fleet management, and faction warfare into one surprisingly deep sandbox. The ship-building system is flexible enough to let you create anything from a tiny mining craft to a massive battleship or carrier, while the galaxy itself gives you plenty of reasons to keep expanding, upgrading, and pushing deeper into more dangerous territory. What I really appreciate is how Avorion captures that same “build your own story” feeling that makes games like X4 and Bannerlord so addictive. You are not just following a linear path. You are growing from a small-time pilot into a fleet commander, industrialist, pirate hunter, trader, warlord, or whatever role you decide to carve out for yourself. It is not as simulation-heavy as Elite Dangerous, not as economy-focused as X4, and not as engineering-detailed as Space Engineers, but it pulls pieces from all of them and turns them into a very playable, rewarding space sandbox. The progression feels satisfying, the customization is excellent, and there is always another ship to build, sector to explore, resource to chase, or enemy to take down. For anyone who enjoys open-ended space games with construction, progression, combat, and empire-building, Avorion is absolutely worth playing.
A Mix of Minecraft meets EVE, but offline. Build your own ships from blocks, place the turrets where you want, Make your ship a massive battleship with 30 cannons, make it high tech and fast with a lot of shields for scouting, build carriers that release hundreds of customized drones that can shoot any weapon you can build in the game, design your own fighters for your carriers just like you design you own ship. Work your way to the center of the universe obtaining more advanced tech and materials to build your ships from. Start wars, end wars, take over the universe, the game is an absolute blast and I come back and play it fairly often and can easily sink hundreds of hours in to it. 10/10 all around. I would love to see a game like this, on a more modern system, I would likely not play much else for a very long time.
This has earned a coveted place on my "scratches the Freelancer itch" shelf of my library. It is often difficult to describe what that means, or why I spend so much time looking for it. On the surface, it is not an overly deep or complicated game, it does not appear to have particularly high production value (no voice actors, minimal texturing, little lore/flavor/story, no flare art, and most of the content is procedurally generated. There is also not much for mission diversity or distinguishing feel to different sectors/areas. That does not sound like a glowing endorsement, but somehow it really all works together. Under the relatively unpolished surface, sits a surprisingly robust framework for turning a player loose to shape their own personal galaxy in whichever way they desire. The MAJOR selling point of Avorion is experience flexibility. It goes leaps and bounds beyond the traditional "Economy / Diplomacy / Combat" win conditions, and lets the player really branch out to approach the few defined goals however they want. The player gets the usual Mine/Salvage/Trade/Fight options for obtaining materials and currency, and the usual goal of "Get better ship, explore more dangerous area." Unusually, though, the player is then offered the option of buying some random seed generated ships, building their own ships from the absolute lowest granular block level (with few guardrails), or connecting directly to the Steam Workshop to peruse plans for ships that other players have built and uploaded. The player also gets to decide between building a giant hero ship and taking on the galaxy solo, building a combat formation comprised of different specialist ships working in tandem (from little fighters up to hulking dreadnoughts), or an armada of multiple formations staffed with NPC captains and sent off to do his or her bidding in distant areas of the galaxy while the player works on something else. Further along in the game, the player can also build their own space stations to manufacture/trade with other denizens of the galaxy. While there are multiple approaches to end-game, the primary focus is space combat, and there are a satisfying variety of weapons and equipment classes/levels/rarities to appease the RPG/dungeon crawler crowd, acquired generously through trade stations and combat loot. Ship variety/class is a complete non-issue, as the player is granted unrestricted access to build nearly any size/shape/objective ship from the ground up at any time (more/better components are unlocked as the game progresses, but there are very few guardrails). The real party piece with Avorion, though, is command/control. The game starts off similar to a 3rd person shooter, with the ship as the player character. The usual control inputs apply, allowing "fly where you look" style, or "fly with keyboard and shoot where mouse looks" style, and the game can be completed entirely in that mode. If the player decides to run a fleet instead of one ship, he or she can use keyboard shortcuts or mouse selection to issue orders to escorting ships in their area. Where things diverge from the standard, though, is that the player is also free to switch to a top-down view of their sector at any time (think map view), and gain the ability to select any/all of their ships in the area like units in an RTS, and assign them move/attack orders anywhere else in the sector. It's a bit like playing Freelancer with wingmates one minute, and then with the push of a button playing the same engagement as StarCraft. And it's not just a gimmick, either; one can rapidly switch back and forth, using RTS mode to coordinate flanking maneuvers, and then hopping down into direct control of any particular ship in "real space" for fine tuning positioning or targeting. At the end of the day, there isn't a whole lot of curated/directed content, but there is an extremely flexible framework that one can use to play Space Legos with. There is also a reasonably active modding community to spice things up with, once you have played through the vanilla experience. Very good value in hours-of-fun per dollar invested.
EVE Online, StarField, No Mans Sky, all of the space games promised me 5 things. They Failed to deliver one... Avorion Promised me one thing. They succeeded at delivering 5... The 5 Promises mentioned were A Fun Real Time Strategy Game where you write your own story. Fully customizable starships. very interactable and unique gameplay that can keep the player hooked. Several opportunities to allow players to fully immerse themselves in the game's inviroment. And lastly, beautiful graphics meant to blow the minds of all those who lay eyes upon it. Avorion does what other space games simply are too greedy to do. While the DLCs add content, they are not a requirement for fun and enjoyment, they don't add blocks that provide a clear advantage over other players, the mechanics they DO add are just another form of making credits that requires time and dedication, and they can be shared between players for free with the only requirement being that the host of the server owns the DLC. Avorion does what other space games are too lazy to do. A Large and Open galaxy free for you to explore with unique events that keep the player guessing "Whats next?", Factions that each have their own unique styles, military ideals, and goals that not always collide with one-another, A Dynamic world system that always interacts with both itself and its players that keep the player immersed as much as possible, and a story that isnt even required to have fun or even progress in the game as nobody is stopping you from just getting the best material in the game and beating the game all before the tutorial guy even gave you his first quest. Last thing, I get that strategy games arent for everyone, but nobody said you HAD to control a whole faction, you could just be a one man pirate, a small group of travelling merchants, a bounty hunter that bandits feer, a mercenary looking to shoot for a buck, or even a military leader of someone elses faction looking to CRUSH those beneath your steel boot All in all, I LOVE the game, and would really like to get a discord server and host an Avorion server + Community just to enjoy the game a bit more with the multiplayer mode 10/10 game, Would Recommend to EVERYONE Have a nice day ladies and gents And I hope Boxelware never abandons this masterpiece of art
