Evaluation

Survive in Space launched on May 20, 2016 as a self-contained space shooter with a fixed set of levels, bosses, enemies, and ships. The store description presents a complete, fully-specified feature set with no mention of planned additions, seasonal content, or future updates. The developer's only notable news post during the period scanned is an announcement for a different game entirely (Slash It Ultimate, released July 14, 2017), which offers no signal about ongoing work on Survive in Space. There is no DLC, no roadmap, no post-launch content releases, and no developer statements indicating further development for this title. The game appears to have shipped as a finished product and received no post-launch content.

About this game

“We thought they were our friends and benefactors, but instead they are our masters. The Chronicles didn’t liberate us from our primitive ways – they conquered and destroyed us. The others don’t know, their heads are still full of the melodious voices of our alien masters. But that will change. I will change it!” – Sasaki

Survive in Space is a skill-based space shooter with a hardcore focus on gameplay mechanics. You take on the role of Sasaki, a young soldier who discovers the horrible truth of humanity’s enslavement at the hands of the alien Chronicles during a routine mission. His deep anguish leads him to spiral into depression, and in the darkest depths he finds The Shadow, a primal being full of hate that grants him the power to confront the Chronicles.
