Far Beyond: A space odyssey is the first hardcore Rogue-like in Virtual Reality with a Sci-fi atmosphere and AAA graphics. It features a hard but rich gameplay focused on resources management, craft and strategy.
In Far Beyond: A space odyssey, you play the last survivor of your civilization.
The last chance of survival you have is to take command of the Genesis, a spaceship on its last legs “supposed” to allow you to go across the universe and reach your one and only goal: a distant habitable planet, primitive and without any trace of intelligent life called “Earth”.
Equipped with two mechanically capricious probes, Columbus and Digger Master, you have to cross the space, juggling between refueling and recharging the battery, extracting ore, repairing damages and planning your moves in hyperspace.
You will have only one goal: reach a distant habitable planet in order to deploy the E.D.E.N project, a demographic bomb composed of genomes and matrices of your lost civilization, to give birth to a new colony.
Will you survive long enough to bring back your civilization to life far beyond your own galaxy?
Check out the Trailer:
“In this game, the player wokes up in the cyrogenic tank, after a break incident has occurred on the Genesis, in the midst of the space. With that, the player has to patch up the Genesis to get it working with the help of Jim, the on board robot.
You are also tasked to rebuild your civilization by first getting to this empty planet called “Earth”, as apparently you are the last survivor here. Once you have reached the planet, you will have to deploy the E.D.E.N project, a demographic bomb that can be used to give birth to a new colony.
In this title, you have to use 2 extravehicular probes (Columbus and Digger Master) to aid you in detecting, scanning and extracting resources. The probes are to be deployed on the hostile planets for these purpose. Apparently you can perform upgrades to the probes, such as performance, wear resistance and others. “
