3030 Deathwar: It's like Escape Velocity but from 2007

So Escape Velocity was one of the defining games of my childhood. It's a top-down 2d game where you ply the spaceways shuttling people around and doing odd jobs and saving up for ever more powerful spaceships. It's super fun!
I've been waiting for a spiritual sequel for so long that I had given up hope.
Rock Paper Shotgun today revealed to me that actually that spiritual sequel came out in 2007 and no one noticed.
It just got updated because a new group, Crunchy Leaf Games, has picked it up and re-released it at a pay-your-own-price pricepoint.

The new version addresses a suite of balance concerns and makes it a much more solid experience, apparently. I've played a bit of it and so far my only complaint is that your main character has a dumb name that you don't get to change and wears a stupid hat that makes him look like a dork. Other than that it's just a solid spacefaring experience.

Everyone should give it a go, it's pretty solid and literally pay-what-you-want so you can all afford it.
