ΔV: Rings of Saturn

ΔV: Rings of Saturn is a 2D space shooter about resource extraction. The action moves to 2273, when humanity took on the rings of Saturn. This excitement was called the gold rush of the new century. The asteroid belt lives by its own laws, and a collision with debris is expensive. Between voyages, the ship is modernized at the dock. Breakdowns happen at the worst possible times and require repairs. Production contracts provide guaranteed payment. The player controls a mining ship in outer space. The goal at first is simple - to get rich, but along the way secrets are revealed that change the way you look at what is happening. Fuel and repairs eat up a significant portion of revenue. The ship can be equipped with a drill, a manipulator and additional tanks. The reward for the risk is richer life and a good price on the market. Fuel and oxygen require calculation for the return journey. The gameplay is designed like a top-down action game. The physics of flight is close to real: the ship accelerates, decelerates and turns around, taking into account inertia. Asteroid towing is becoming an art in itself. The found debris is sold to resellers or recycled. Alarm signals warn of the approach of dangerous objects. The belt consists of millions of fragments, and each is dangerous in its own way. Equipment is improved with money earned. The depth of the belt, wear of the drill and fuel reserves make it necessary to plan each trip. Some tasks come from stations and corporations. The belt card is gradually revealed, and the players themselves place the marks. The radar tells you where to look for a rich vein. For those who like to tinker with technology in space, this game is suitable.
