About Engine Room

Fight your way through hostile space while managing a fragile ship from its heart - the Engine Room. Retreat to upgrade the ship or push your luck further into enemy territory for better rewards - or maybe get blown to pieces! Fight bosses, balance power, and manage supplies to stay alive!

UPGRADE
Throughout your journey, you will acquire resources that can be used to unlock new powerful ship components to improve your chances of success! These come in several forms, such as weapons, shields, and engines!

EXPLORE
Strategically choose your path forward through dangerous star systems. This can mean focusing on gathering resources, fighting powerful enemies, or slipping through with as little conflict as possible!

MANAGE
Your ship has many functions that will need attention in order to keep running properly. You will need to manage which systems are powered on, what each crew member is doing, manage the inventory of a limited cargo bay, and more!

FIGHT
Keep powerful enemies at bay by a variety of means! You can choose to put everything into highly upgrade weapons and burn through their hull, or focus on quick maneuverable engines to avoid incoming fire. Do whatever it takes to push further in to the heart of hostile space!

Great retro gaming feel, with enough under-the-surface mechanics to learn that it's engaging rather than laborious. Surprisingly moreish; I looked up at the clock hours after I started, wondering where the time had gone!

This game is a very simple yet deceptively stressful take on a management game. Taking care of the ship is actually decently fun, and the fact that you don't get to see whats happening outside of the ship brings a very nerving experience. Your entire life depends on the little hologram front and centre of the engine room. The only thing that I can hope for is for the game to be more fleshed out and more content to be added in the future, as I see a lot of opportunity in this game and I am exited to see where the developer(s) take this concept.

There's something here, but the game definitely still has major issues: [list] [*]Terrible Performance - The game constantly lags while walking around the ship and even while moving the mouse in menus [*]Balancing - There seems to be no balance. The first star system is super easy and a roll over, and then the second one just crushes you in the first sector [*]Unusable upgrades - No idea how to use these. There is a hint on one of the screens, but even with that approach there's no way to make use of them. [/list] There are more minor issues besides these, but they are less crucial. If these items were fixed the game would at least be playable. Until then, I can't really recommend it.

Final Fantasy XI price: what you pay, then keep paying

The Final Fantasy XI price is two numbers, and the subscription is the one that matters. Our tracked low, what the Ultimate Collection includes, and when buying at list is correct.

Castlevania Belmont's Curse price: which edition to buy

The Castlevania Belmont's Curse price splits in two: Steam charges full list, authorised resellers a quarter less. Our record says that 25% has not moved since June, and is the floor.

Hogwarts Legacy price history: where the floor really is

Our Hogwarts Legacy price history runs to 100 daily readings and a $3.99 median. Why the sub-dollar figure in search results is noise, and what to actually pay.

Our Starfield price history shows one reseller set the all-time low over five weeks in late summer 2026. What a good price looks like now, and why Game Pass comes first.

Boltgun 2 price: buy the sequel, or the cheap first game?

The Boltgun 2 price has no cheaper route on launch day — our record shows one listing, unmoved since September. The first game is the bargain, but a smaller one than it was.

Rust price: why the cheap keys vanished, and when to buy

The Rust price has two answers: an official one that barely moves, and a reseller one that sat in single digits for 95 days and then disappeared. Our record shows both.
