Space Haven Reviews

I really love this game... however there is one thing that stops me from really enjoying this game.. that is being limited too only 8 ship points... so any mega ships you wish to produce is the only ship you will ever be able to use.

There's a fair depth to this, though like similar games, it can feel repetitive. I just enjoy keeping the crew members healthy and my small fleet functional. I've found Eden, but decided the Big Inky was a more fitting environment for the assorted lost souls that comprise my two crews.

Space Haven is one of those games you come back to time and again. Every time I do it's pretty much all I play fro several weeks. It can be a little daunting at the beginning but each play through is a new story for you an your crew. Die gloriously and make sure you get on well with the other faction (trade or die). Over all I'd give it a wow that's a lot of hours for $20/10.

Game feels like rimworld in space. All the movement and actions feel natural and smooth. Very enjoyable to build the ship and watch the crew walk around and perform tasks. combat has simple enemies atm. Graphics give the feel an awesome and chill late 90s vibe. Recommended

Beat up some slavers. Don't want to take them prisoner so go to execute them. Gun Jams. Slowly fix gun jam while maintaining eye contact. Blam.

Only 122.2 hours into this as I write this, but needed to let this out. Absolutely love these types of games. Very much X-com/Star Control/Sims-esque (with a splash of Tradewars, with very unforgiving mechanics (power/food/water/etc.), that you'll either love or you'll hate. With other games out there, putting out similar vibes such as the evolving Quasimorph, I'm equally excited to see that Space Haven is still being worked on. It feels like I haven't even scratched the surface and with 3 absolute restarts as I figured things out (remember, early access! *lol*), luckily much of the figuring ends up being common sense once you put thought into it. *** Though I would like to see more personal skills incorporated into the "character" building aspect of it, the ship building aspect is pretty fleshed out, quests will only be expanded on I can imagine during the road map of completion and the world foundation seems endless and easily expandable. *** Items though lacking, I can only imagine can continue to grow with the research tree &/or release of content as worlds are explored/unlocked, etc. *** The Sims aspect is a solid mention as your crew interact with each other, prisoners, slaves, various factions and the ever joys of trauma and conflict as you sail the stars! Definitely adds a twist to who can work together, who you put on first shift and second shift and night shift, hands down as you try to manage your ship(s)/fleet from system to system, I'm already contemplating breaking back and starting an "evil" run, thinking Borg-like. :D Highly recommended if you are into any of the games above mentioned.

I love how the exploration is a big part of the game and you have to keep trying to find materials to keep your crew alive on the ship. Hate running low on water as it ends my play through XD

My favorite game so far. Hope the devs put more time and effort in, so it will be even better. Gets stale at some point, but the core mechanics are on point! :)

Great game, basically Rimworld in space. would recommend

Space Haven has one big problem you should consider before buying. It has no soul. The first five minutes are the same as the last five minutes. After about 20 hours of play: so what. It does not inspire imagination, create wonder, or drive the player to continue. Compare this to games like Rimworld, Dwarf Fortress, etc. where there is a journey, an arc. Space Haven has some of the same mechanics, but none of the soul.
