Back in February we told you about the Epic Space Online early access that was available directly from the Epic Space Online site. Well, as of this morning, the Epic Space Online early access test is also available via Steam!

ESO’s big selling feature is that all players can play on one single server with an essentially limitless game universe. Fly in one direction and you will keep going until your fuel gives out. ESO is all about exploring, capturing, and defending sectors of space. Holding more sectors means more resources and income for you to spend. Having said that, the entire game is one big sandbox, so players can choose to play any way and in role role they like.

ESO is played from a top down perspective for controlling your ships. Players will have a lot of influence on the game, and there is plenty of crafting to dig into. Space stations can be deployed, and there are even massive capital ships that require a number of players to control.

One thing that isn’t clear to me is how much of the game involves PvP. Given the nature of the game it seems like it should have PvP, but I am unable to determine that from the information provided. Perhaps one of you can enlighten me. In any case, check out the Epic Space Online early access on Steam, but bear in mind that the usual early access warnings apply. At least it is getting generally positive feedback on Steam. Give it a look!
