This game is a gem. For many reasons. You hunt early access looking for games to support that have Devs that obviously care about the quality of their game. You want a game that you can check in on every 3-4 months for new content or noticeable progress in development. Vanguard Galaxy offers idle and active gameplay. Most of my 400 hours is active though. Currently you can choose Combat, Salvaging and Mining to do a variety of things including quests crafting and loot through combat. This isn't face paced action combat it is more chill in that aspect. Click a target then watch it blow up in whatever fashion your ship does it. The heart of the game is Skills, Crew, Ship and Weapon upgrading. There is a lot more I could write in this review but I don't feel like spending an hour detailing all the reasons I love this game.

Vanguard Galaxy is a fantastic low impact space game with an idle component to it. There are a ton of ships and modules to upgrade your ship as you progress through the game. I highly recommend that if you pick up this game, you immediately activate the beta in the settings of steam to see more of the updates that are happening. This game seems to be getting updated once or twice a month and the Devs are very open about the progression and what is happening next. The "idle" component of the game is unlocked 30-45 mins into the game and is not a way to speed through the game while you are away, more like a way to gather a small amount of income and reputation that can increase to up to 80% or so efficiency (more with other game mechanics). This game is worth the money if only for the fact that it is as chill as you want it to be, but there are still ways for quite difficult combat if you want.

It's all SplatterCatGaming's fault for me playing this. I kept meaning to put it down but it's very chill and kind of a bit old school. Go watch Splats play of it if interested. It doesn't have sound effects at the moment from what I can tell. Has potential for what I would consider to be a sort of Eve offline and chill game.

So far loving this, and excited to see where it goes. However, the game needs sounds added YESTERDAY. It's weird playing a game I expect to have cool mining, explosion, refining, etc sounds and the only thing I hear is combat. Please add sound effects asap even if placeholders

Ok, here's the truth: This is the best space idler on Steam right now. The developer is super active with updates—the recent Conquest mechanics make the galaxy feel alive. I love that I can play actively to tackle hard missions or let the ECHO system handle the 'chores' while I work. If you like ship customization, drones, and watching numbers go up, get this game.
