Release date: May 14th, 2015 [Early Access] Q4-2015 [Final Release]
Quote:
Space Rogue is a game about the spaceship captain and his crew. Explore the space, fight cliff-hanging battles, help others or become a space pirate. Develop your own battle tactics, recruit crew members, level them up and do not forget to upgrade your ship.
Space Rogue combines elements of tactical strategy and space adventure game — but we've tried to give the players more freedom to explore of game world. You would be able to fine-tune the in-game galaxy and change various game parameters (enemy strength, random events frequency, weapon power and such). You would also choose the main mission that would send your captain and his crew across the universe.
Keep cannons at the ready! Nearly all the random events in our game have several different outcomes. Who knows what the next landfall might bring?

It's basically FTL with expanded gameplay (much larger, deeply configurable, game world with more to do in it) and a different visual style. It was uploaded by Small-Games () and I've been trying out the beta... really impressed so far. It appears that the full game is ready and playable, completely content ready but it's anaemic and they're using Early Access to drive funds and add more content, such as new ships and monsters as well as expansive starbases. Still, very fun so far, can be tough as nails but if you're hankering for some more FTL that seems to be bigger and better, this is right up your alley =)
I think they're doing themselves a disservice by vehemently denying that it's an FTL clone because, really, it is.. it just is. They should embrace it and build off it rather than trying to downplay any similarity to detractors :\
lol understatement of the year, doom1 and doom2 had less in common.
Haha! See what I mean? They have a few FAQ entries *purely* based around "No, this isn't an FTL clone" -- ninja please, it's FTL 2.0, but that's not a bad thing! FTL (and now Convoy too) is a fantastic game, it's thoroughly enjoyable and it has a lot of potential.. which THIS seems to build on. Space Rogue (2015) is a successor, an homage, a reinterpretation ... whatever, own it. It's still a damned fun game and if they carry on working on it with new content, and the epic space battles with enormous space monsters and starbases sounds great!, then this could easily surpass FTL.
Signature/Avatar nuking: none (can be changed in your profile)
