A Newtonian Physics Based Solar System Greets New Colonists with the Harsh Reality of Surviving a Desolate Wasteland with Limited Resources and a Constant Threat of Conflict. Also it has a really sweet trailer.
Indie dev Zero Gravity today launched their debut first-person space survival multiplayer title Hellion on Steam Early Access for $24.99. In the Hellion solar system, all in-game objects from planets and moons to ships and stations abide by Newtonian physics and full orbital mechanics. Players have to survive in the most hostile environment known to man by protecting themselves from the vacuum of space, gathering scarce life support resources, maintaining their base and interacting with other players.
“Launching Hellion on Steam Early Access is a big step forward for us”, said Marko Smiljanic, Creative Director at Zero Gravity. “The PC player base is extremely varied and demanding so having access to it during the development process allows us shape Hellion into what sci-fi fans really want”.
The first Hellion Early Access build allows players to salvage derelict station modules in order to obtain parts and resources to build their base and upgrade their own equipment. Hellion colonists can also choose to EVA mine raw resources and refine them into fuel, air and crafting components. Players will experience the unique feel of zero gravity movement without restrictions and master the use of inertia for maximum benefit.
The Hellion Early Access build offers free multiplayer interactions so players are able to play as a lone wolf, team up to pilot multi-crew ships with realistic navigation, or engage in PvP close quarters combat.
The trailer may be pretty sweet, but it doesn’t show off anything of the game. Luckly the developers have a series of Let’s Play’s so that you can get a feel for the game. You can check out on of these below:
