SHIPBUILDING
A wide selection of modules gives you near countless ways to design your ship. Large dreadnaught class ships may be powerful, but become very slow and especially vulnerable in ion nebulas. A speedy spaceship can kite the enemy and evade most weapons.STRATEGY
The enemies in your path are quite challenging. You can pause the game and identify the weakest points of each enemy. Concentrate your weapons on a specific module to take out the engines, weapons or repair stations to weaken your enemy. Learn from your mistakes and add countermeasures to your ship to have a better outcome in the next battle.EXPLORATION
Different factions inhabit different star systems. Based on the design of your ship you can choose to avoid the enemies you aren´t prepared for. Space travel takes time and traveling from one star system to another may take decades. Over time your crew will age, mature and reveal their needs and thoughts.What Steam players say

I remember being annoyed at this game when I first played it and dropped it. So I came back years later to give it another chance. Right away, it irritated me again as the one time it spawned decent characters, it screwed up the tutorial and left me being attacked in manual mode while telling me "no no, you totally auto-attack, it's fiiiine". Started a new run only for every character to have awful penalties, but it requires you to equip them all. Beat tutorial sector, fly to the 2nd area, on the way "Congrats, your crewman has leveled up!" and... okay sure, that's nice- Before I even got to the destination, still the same trip, "bad news, that crewman who just leveled up? dead now." This game feels miserable to play when doing stuff like that to you constantly. Heck, one time I was trying to reroll a new start, it managed to kill my crewman before the tutorial sector even started and told me I had to wait 5 years for a new one to be trained. Most of the gameplay and exploration itself I've gotten to has been... okay at best? But adding all of that just makes this a miserable experience.4 found this helpful
Way too short. The game mechanics are shallow. Ship building is severely limited. This seems more like a demo than a full game.1 found this helpful
Voidship really doesn't deserve the hate as it's definitely got potential. The game reminds me of Space Pirates and Zombies 2 and it seems to be a one-man project. It's also perfectly playable and there's enough content to keep you engaged for a few gaming sessions. What to expect: [list] [*]Light RPG elements in the form of permanent bonuses and maluses during your journey based nn your choices. [*]Real-time control of a spaceship during battles with either the AI controlling the cannons and movement by mouse or you controlling the ship directly with WASD. [*]Each star system represents a number of encounters which mostly lead to battles, friendly space stations or random events [*]Crew members grow older as you travel towards your goal and will have to be replaced by newer generations [*]Ship building: 25 blocks maximum, somewhat free to choose its shape. Modules will be unlocked during your journey. Each weapon/system module takes up a block. There's 4 pages with about 8 modules each so there's plenty to experiment with. [/list] All-in-all I am fairly amused by Voidship. It's difficult to find games like these and it does it rather well if you can look through its flaws. Los…1 found this helpful
This is a fun game, it has it's flaws but not "Mixed" level by any means. If you're a fan of games like Shortest Trip to Earth, Out There, etc. this is a great pickup at a relatively fair price. The start can be slow and it might take 1-3 times to get your feet underneath you but just know that maxing your battleship with 25 components seems like it happens in the first 20%~ of the game if that helps you measure your pace. Reminds me a bit of original SPAZ and a bit like Cosmoteer.1 found this helpful
Unbalanced and abandoned, uninstalling.
Glad I gave this one a shot, it is really as a roguelike and ship builder, worth giving a shot.
