Perihelion: Rogue Orbit

A fun game with great native Linux support!

The best part of Perihelion is without doubt the hardest part to describe or explain. This game, feels excellent. The way the ship responds to movement and the behaviour of each module feels very satisfying. It shares with EVE the importance of transversal and application, but unlike EVE, manual piloting is pretty intuitive. While lazy orbiting is still definitely an option, and very viable with some ship configurations, the rewards for flying manually and the general feeling of threading the needle between incoming missiles and shots, feels exhilarating. I also like the little conversation going on at the left hand side of the screen from PERI, your sarcastic helper of sorts. The game has a lot of character for something that’s so mechanically light and basic.

nice little game, very simple roguelike, kite and orbit!

Pretty fun game with a solid combat system, like EVE with less stress. Customization is a bit limited, but there's still decent variety with the attachments. Missions can be a bit repetitive as well, but the game is in early access so I imagine there is still a decent more to be added. Combat is fairly addictive and the soundtrack is relaxing. Overall 7/10.

Move over Vampire Survivors this is my go to on the steam deck atm. It's very addictive, just one more run!! Can't wait to see where this goes.

Really good fun, quick to pick up. Could do with a little more variety in missions/waves. Definitely scratches several gaming style itches.
