Evochron: Comments From Other Players

I have only had the registered game a day but ow [sic] have I missed this series! It is supplying all I have missed in this genre...thank you, thank you, thank you *cries emotionally (but manfully)* -Arthur

I love Renegades. I just bought it and already I'm in love. It pretty much sorts out every complaint I have about every other current space-sim... Not too much micromanagement, but enough to keep it interesting (none of it seems pointless); it has that lovely open-space feeling that forced jumpgates ruin; the physics make combat much more interesting, the fuel usage makes flight much more strategic; the way navigation and jumps work makes me feel as though it's a skill that needs mastering; I love that it's not just a progression to more and more powerful ships that are better in every way; I dig being able to customize my ship's appearance; real planets- 'nuff said; all of the non-trading/fighting stuff to do for when I need to relax with a slower pace; graphics are very tasteful and beautiful without being so fancy as to require ridiculous hardware... okay, this is going to take too long listing everything... I pretty much like everything about it. Probably almost the best, if not the best, $25 I've ever spent on a computer game (even going way back when). -'Mechanical'

Oh, and I thought I'd add that your game is fantastic. I'd never even heard of it before until I stumbled upon it at random yesterday. It really is the successor to elite. Most of the other new space sims are way to complicated (X3, Universal Combat etc) and more work than fun. Your game hits the perfect balance of depth and playability. You should seriously advertise it more. I would have bought this game the second it hit the shelves, and I only found it through luck and some obscure link. It is very well done indeed. Thanks!

... what I love about this game, is that the graphics are really very nice, and I am so thrilled at the things one can do in the game. I have never seen a space sim that allowed the pilot to navigate to a planet, enter the atmosphere, and land there. Really very cool. I have to say, that this game is by far the best I have seen in a long time, and satisfies my desire for a great "first person" space sim. -Steven

We'd been looking for a game that went beyond what titles like Freelancer, FreeSpace, or the spin offs from the Elite Series could bring for us in terms of game play... and feel that Evochron Renegades pretty much hits the nail on the proverbial head. Truly amazing! -Greg

I must say that ER is one of those games that has proven to provide a lot of long-term playability value, and this is something I take seriously. You can play some games, and once you've completed them, you know that you're always going to have the same experience again, so there is no incentive to play them again. Not so with ER. This is especially surprising considering the small size of the download. With the possibility of finding hidden systems, there's always something to do. -Nigel

This game is simply amazing! I have long been looking for a space sim that has the feel that this one has. You've turned out a product that surpasses the expectations I have for large developers with major funding! -'SpellJammer'

I'm amazed at how much fun this game is and how deceptively simple it is. Every time I think I've got it all figured out, I find another layer of gameplay that continues to provide new things to do. -Scott

What is [Evochron]? Imagine the original Elite game updated to state-of-the-art graphics and video, and you'll get the idea. While significantly different in it's approach, Elite fans will feel right at home playing it. It also uses Newtonian physics, but with much more responsive controls, as well as an afterburner, to quickly setup an attack approach on the bad guys. Anyway, I'm announcing this game because it is really a game that Elite fans would love to play. I've played many versions of Elite, and [Evochron] brings back a lot of Elite memories. -George

Where has this game been? It could bring back the dying space-sim genre! Too many other space games try to out-do each other with complexity, making it more work then fun. This game is fun without being too complex, it's just right. You need to get the word out, I almost missed it! -Garrett

I am very pleased to see that you're taking up where some of the best merchantile space sims left off (Privateer, etc.)... -Rob

Thanks for such an awesome game!! -Josh

Thank you for a sensible space sim. Have spent all afternoon mining platinum and drinking brandy. -Anthony

I've actually exclaimed “Wow!” while playing it on a number of occasions just from the views I've got in orbit. These kinds of scenes coupled with outstanding features like the seamless space to planet surface transitions cannot ever be readily conveyed with screenshots... -Mike L.

I was thrilled to find a friend of mine in the Evochron community who also used to play a lot of Elite. I can tell this game appeals to those who played a lot of that game. And now I can fly with my friend in multiplayer, something I could never do in the old game. -PQ

I just wanted to tell you personally how much I am enjoying this game! I play it every day, two or three times a day. I quit when my arm gets tired and yet, I can't wait to get back. This is the best game you have ever done, and I don't even like trading games as a rule. At least, not until now. -Mike M.
