User reviews & Ratings

Space Haven is a base management sim in the vein of RimWorld, but focuses much more on base building because your base is your spaceship. In that sense it reminds me of more of Oxygen Not Included: you have to be very careful about expanding your base, where you place buildings, and managing gas and thermal conditions. To top it off, Space Haven adds an exploration mechanic that reminds me a lot of FTL: you travel from system to system carefully managing your fuel and food, facing random encounters with devastating combat. As one last point of comparison, if you are one of the rare few who played and enjoyed The Banished Vault, Space Haven delivers a similar level of complexity without being as overwhelming at the start (if you are already familiar with the genre that is). If you like RimWorld, Oxygen Not Included, and FTL, or are interested at the idea that someone took pieces of those three games and made something legitimately new, Space Haven might be for you. Worth the price of entry, especially on sale.

Great game. Very chill vibe until the Pirates show up! Plenty of chaos to mitigate/navigate, as a bonus this works pretty well on my ROG Ally. So yes, surprisingly good controller support. Fun to chill on the couch with the wife and build the ship and manage the crew. I don't think I'm very far into it and the universe feels vast. Definitely worth the money. P.S. I see most of the negative reviews are complaining about the game being "too complicated." I think that's hogwash, but if you don't enjoy learning to survive and thrive by trial and error, this game may not be for you. You may lose your first ship and have to start over, and that is ok. I really enjoy the challenge the game presents, and there are several different difficulty levels. I'm just playing on normal and think it is a good and fair challenge.

Wow, I really did not expect to get so invested in this game, and certainly not to the tune of 80 hours. What a pleasant surprise. Somewhat of a lovechild between Rimworld and FTL, it's essentially a colony sim but with a mobile base. It offers a fairly complex building and management system, and is quite brutal at times too (especially towards the start). Whilst the actual crew mechanics aren't anywhere near as in-depth as Rimworld, it's still a very enjoyable adaptation of the OG formula. The world map is rather sizeable, and there's a fair amount to do in terms of factions, missions, exploration, and combat. That being said, I think the game does still need more variety in a lot of areas, as in it's current state it only has enough content for 2 full runs before you've seen it all. The devs are definitely still cooking with this one, and there's huge potential here. I'm looking forward to seeing how this game progresses. Money well spent, it's a thumbs up from me.

I have been playing this game on and off for the last few years. I always liked the style and how brutal it could be. It could wipe a 40 hour session in 30 minutes if you rolled bad dices in a row. It was also infuriating because it was out of your control as a player. With patch 20 a lot of content and balance got added to the game. I am really happy with the main story line that got introduced but still leaving you open to explore and roam. The game will still continue to throw curveballs at your, just now I boarded a tiny derelict wreck of about 20x20 with a maze of hallways and doors and a ton of creepers around the corner. Had to send in two squads to get the infestation cleared out. Nuts. I needed a 5 minute cooldown after that. The balance is maybe a bit too friendly now. I am quite familiar now with what tech needs to get researched first and what you can sell in early or mid game and what to hold on to. But with the new hyperdrive, power and botany unlocked running out of resourced is something on the background now really. Not sure if that is bad or that I just had a lot of luck lately with resource spawning. All in all, with patch 20 out now, this game has matured in a fully playable game with tons and tons of hours to spend on it. I think I slapped on 80 hours in the past two weeks. At times I have to remind myself I got shit to do in the real world. Been a long time a game drew me in like this. 10/10 would not recommend to people with busy lives :P

I just raided an enemy base along side a military alliance ship. On our way back we were: ambushed, boarded, swapped ships, fought a 20+ prisoner riot to regain control of our ship, and my scientist went on a solo mission to eliminate the enemy leader and rescue her best friend. This game is amazing. I love how this game plays like a little software facilitated board game diorama with autonomous pieces playing their own rpg inside of it. Many games fit that description but this game delivers on that feeling for me. I now want to 3d print my own buildings to recreate my storied vessels as art pieces to hang up on my wall. The only criticism I have is how long it takes to play the game, and how un-engaging a lot of that time can be. A lot of the challenges can seem unreasonably oppressive to a new player still trying to figure out 'how comfort plays a role in everything' or 'the value of spacesuits close by' or etc. Unfortunately that's just the pain you must go through to get to the "minimum viable ship" good parts.
