Free from the restrictions of planet Earth, the space exploration, trading and action game 'Helium Rain' from Deimos Games has officially become DRM free on GOG.

It has some of the most striking visuals I've seen in a space game for a while, seriously! Some of the scenery is breathtaking. The gameplay is pretty good too, performance is great in my testing as well.

Features:

13 playable ships with weapon and engine upgrades

Build and fly fleets of fighters, bombers, cargos, corvettes or capital ships. Buy new engines and weapons.

There is no speed limit in Helium Rain. You can fly at half a mile a second while aiming backwards. Aim for critical systems in order to disable ships, kill their crew or capture targets, and don't fly into asteroids.

I've had a lot of fun with it, especially since they added in the skirmish mode! Outside of that, it's pretty relaxing I've found.
