Deep Space Outpost

I don't normally write reviews and I don't normally buy fresh Early Access products anymore due to the endless, unfinished heap of examples that stand as testament to being a poor practice. Perhaps it's my recent binge of FTL or idle curiosity but I decided to roll the dice on Deep Space Outpost. It is very, very barebones right now and probably the earliest EA I've rolled the dice on, but I do see the potential for "stationary FTL-like" gameplay so I will hold on to this one and add it to favorites to further track development. If you're patient and curious to see where this leads, then I'd recommend it. The ***potential*** is there and for that, I chose to lend my support.

I say yes, but wait and see what they add. Needs some form of research/progression, and more stuff to do or work towards. Has the building blocks to a great game, but it currently just the foundation, which is what i expect of an early access.

the early access is, as the description says, the basic mechanics. and despite some performance issues (which is to be expected) i have enjoyed my time with it so far! looking forward to whatever is coming down the pike! edit: a year-ish later and 25+ more hours in the game, i am still having fun with it and the dev has consistently been updating the game. still recommend! fun to play while listening to podcasts or music or whatever

Very nice & relaxed RTS game, there is some bugs & a lot of potential for added content, currently it is fun & playable if you don't mind a few bugs.

Irrespective of the fact that I know the developer - I am not going blow smoke. Deep Space Outpost has been released into Early Access (a good while ago now) and is 100% still a GAME IN DEVELOPMENT. Niris is a one-man-band developer and he is thoroughly enjoying learning and adding and tinkering and watching his creation grow and I know for a fact that he has so much planned for the game, but it is slowly, slowly catchy monkey. It has to be - he is on his own! I get vibes of what Rimworld or Dungeon Keeper or similar must have been like when the developers were just starting out. But don't get me wrong - at time of review, despite only showing 2.5 hrs of game play at time of review, I have played the game much more than that. If you like builders / management / strategy games - it's well worth it and the other great thing, is that Niris is absolutely open to *all* suggestions for future content - nothing is ignored and everything is accepted as ideas, or criticism, or praise, or w...

I have honestly got no idea what made me buy this EA game, but I am glad I did. It is very basic at the moment, which is to be expected, and I am looking forward to what gets added down the line. I would recommend this one, especially as it looks like (looking at the road map) that this is going to be a very good game.

From what I've played the game seems to have a good future coming for it, currently the game isnt perfect but it enjoyable, its like if the gameplay of rimworld met the universe of space station 13

Not very good. Need alot of work and after two years , it doesnt feel like it will finish ever!

Can't find Beta option.
