About SPACERIFT: Arcanum System

Spacerift: Arcanum System is an open world online space simulator with both first and third person view inspired by classical sci-fi games.
We offer you a trip into open dynamically evolving world, in which anyone can leave his mark.
Equip your ship, buy new merchant or combat vessels, grow your capital, organise production building your own factories. Form corporations with other players to gain advantage over enemies and explore together distant sectors filled with dark, terrifying, but intriguing uncertainty!Game Features:
- Equip your ship: buy, assemble from parts or capture new ships!
- You can have several ships in your possession simultaneously, each for it's own very different purpose: fast fighter for exploration, trade ship for ferrying large cargos and a huge corvette to terrorise your enemies!
- Separately designed economic aspect: game world is as dynamic as possible -- from mining splintered asteroids for ore to constructing and destroying space stations;- Although it's not a real spaceship simulator, we tried to make spaceships physically behave as if they move in space and not in a "space aquarium". You can fly forward, back first or in any other way. Ship's engines work to ACCELERATE it, but not to keep it's speed constant. None the less controls are designed for maximal player's comfort -- your ship is equipped with multiple automatic stabilizing systems, which can be configured to suit your needs;
- You should be extreamly cautious with your property: it's not always possible to restore your ship, if it crashes, and cargo in it's hold can become easy game for pirates;
- Game world constantly changes: apart from 15 static sectors you can explore distant space travelling through wormholes;
- Game space is saturated with various events: from random quests sent to your ship's computer from nearby station to an old half-destroyed ship you can stumble across in a far sector.

What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

Players praise the game's ambition in attempting features like station building, crafting, and multiplayer missions, but criticize its execution as shallow and underdeveloped compared to established titles like EVE Online. Major complaints include a confusing interface that makes navigation and equipment management difficult, limited gameplay variety, balance issues with combat mechanics and energy management, and repetitive content that fails to deliver on its lofty design goals despite clear developer effort.

С космосимами беда, и тут к сожалению тоже. Во-первых, несоответствие амбиций и возможностей. Какой-то замах на корпорации, строительство станций, производство, блюпринты модулей, действия в команде для сложных миссий - ок. Все это видели в куче игр, в той же еве тысячи модулей, производство, добыча ископаемых - но там живой мир и тысячи игроков. Здесь же ничего и никого нет, какие-то унылые несколько модулей ты летаешь видишь, даже в Everspace разнообразие было на порядки больше. Лучше бы делали интересную стрелялку и не замахивались на то что не получится сделать Второе - интерфейс. Ну он ужасен. Я давно не помню игры где я бы не мог найти карту и понять куда я вообще лечу, зачем, что за звездные системы вокруг, какой маршрут... Убогое все, снаряжение корабля и модулей, без сравнения, опять же даже еверспейс выше на порядок, не говоря о более сложных играх. Ну и наконец, боевка. Вы там должны просто умереть от скуки. Гоняясь за одним сраным пиратом у которого осталось на волосок жизни, но он постоянно улетает подальше, восстанавливает щиты, а потом снова стреляй в него, снова сдохнет энергия у пушек, снова варпнется пират... повторять полчаса. Скуууууууууууука!

Cons: Limited number of slots per system for player stations, no slots left - at least none I can find within a reasonable distance from where I am. Repair materials are based on dismantling the equipment you find after shooting pirates and in some cases you do not find enough to repair your equipment. Turrets start firing at pirates when they are ~1750m away but don't start damaging them until ~1200m, which means the energy you have is being wasted, and you do not always have enough energy to keep firing until the battle ends as it is. Plus секта corporation has at least one member that likes to dump 40-50 units of gear every now and then, all exactly the same with the same mods - duping? I have noticed this a few times so far. Pros: It is a space game, generic one at that.

Эта игра по-прежнему невероятно сложная. Я ставлю ей одну звезду, потому что она слишком сложная. Я не могу играть; враги преследуют меня с невероятной скоростью. Эту проблему нужно исправить, иначе я удалю игру и забуду о ней.😡😡

В игру вложено очень много сил и времени, однако, это всё ещё очень сырой продукт, по настоящему погрузиться в который мешают и некоторые авторские фишки, судя по всему разработчик продолжит гнуть свою линию, строя свой собственный мир и собирая вокруг себя некоторое количество преданных игроков, это и плохо и хорошо. А мне, после короткой сессии с этой игрой, сильно захотелось обновить ощущения от Independence War 2: Edge of Chaos.

It has dubbing but its not completely in English. The mining mini game is very difficult making causal game-play too tedious. Although it had what I was looking for in mining space rocks its just needing way more cooking time than I'm willing to wait out. My time was spent in tutorial with minimal time outside it.
