I quickly set about heading to the jump point, sure in my own abilities and confident of being able to swiftly get back to where I was. This wasn’t sector two at all, I was back in sector one!! All my progress lost, gone like a thief in the night. Round two, ding ding, ding – FIGHT!!Īnd then everything changed. I happily did so and then head out again.
#SWITCH EVERSPACE UPGRADE#
The game returned me to a hangar-like screen where I was offered the opportunity to upgrade my ship with some of the space cash I had accrued. Not to worry I thought, I should be able to pick this up at the beginning of sector 2, right?! Wrong. I was immediately set upon by a whole group of hostiles and subsequently exploded and died. I approached the warp gate, made the jump and arrived in sector 2. Again, crossing the sector of space and arriving at the gate was somewhat of a formality, shooting a few hostile out of the sky and hoarding their spilt loot in the process. Once you traverse light speed, initiate the hyperdrive and hit warp 9, you are transported to a brand new area and as you seemingly progress, the presence of hostile troops becomes much more apparent.Īfter navigating myself through 5 areas, I arrived at the last part of this sector, identified so by the presence of the warp gate. Before long, you are being educated on the purpose of warp points and how they consume fuel and then you are directed to one, via a marker screen. In (Ever) space no one can hear you screamįrom this point, you’re thrown into the cockpit with nothing more than the AI for company, a slightly disconcerting personality that talks you through all the basic controls and techniques required to play this title.

Still, frames paired with fully voiced dialogue begin to weave an intricate tale of memory loss, amidst an apparently destructive event. As a huge fan of the early days of the Star Fox games, and with subsequent releases having left me feeling just a little bit wary of the space dogfighter, Everspace offered a solar flare at the end of the galaxy, so to speak.įrom the outset, I was drawn in by the minimalist presentation.

Everspace is the kind of game that grabbed my attention from the very moment that I first heard it was coming to the Nintendo Switch.
