Game status

ΔV: Rings of Saturn released in Early Access 8 months ago, and in that time we have been steadily adding new features and gathering data points from you - our dear players. Now, these points of data make a beautiful line - as of today ΔV is officially feature-complete. Game has all the major features and major mechanics in place, all what's left is to hunt remaining bugs, polish up everything and - of course - add more content: ships, storylines, dialogs and upgrades. You can expect really frequent updates now, so make sure you have auto-update turned on!

Players say

"The way the lights on the ship light up the asteroids, the way even informational screens change when power goes out, the music that simultaneously carries emotions of loneliness, adventure, and mystery, all beautiful."

"[...]while this definitely is not my style of game, it is EXTREMELY well done for it's genre. The aesthetic and art style are simply awe inspiring."

"[...]love how the gameplay with keyboard/mouse AND gamepad is equally satisfying, while it 'plays' somewhat differently. [...] Having to constantly apply controls, to adjust speed, bearing, velocity is really fun, engaging and satisfying."

"Nice game, very captivating. The silence and mystery of space feels spot-on."

"I’m in love, I’ve been waiting for a game like this my whole life."

"[...]looks really really good! I love this kind of sims on where all is about precise control"
