Empyrion - Galactic Survival is a 3D open world, space survival indie adventure game.[2][3] It was released via early access on 5 August 2015 by Eleon Game Studios.[4]

Gameplay

Players crash land on an alien planet, where they must survive a hostile environment. Their escape pod includes a variety of common resources, though they need to forage to find rarer materials. Using the pod's constructor, they can build a variety of objects, including bases, ground vehicles, and spaceships. In multiplayer, the planets are persistent worlds, and players can interact with each other, including trading and player versus player combat.[5]

Development

Empyrion was designed to focus on making exploration interesting. In an interview, the team referenced a German proverb that translates to "the journey is the reward".[6] Comparing their game to No Man's Sky, Eleon said they wanted to make exploration fun first, then work on expanding the game to support a massive number of planets. Community involvement is another focus. A rotating number of player-created schematics for bases and ships are featured in-game, and surveys determine what features Eleon prioritizes.[6]
