Early Access Review
Ever watch an Alien movie and think, man if that were just a bit more harsh and unforgiving with people as the enemies and no space bugs?

Ever want to live in space with a level of tech that doesn't make it easy? Doable, just not la de da Star Trek simple?

Like Newtonian physics? Counting your air and having to work to keep the lights on?

Want to take some stuff from another player?

Hellion may be for you. The learning curve is steep. Other players may help you. Or kill you for that oxygen you are hoarding.

Game play is first person only and deeply engaging. Control your ship, salvage and build a space station, repair said space station regularly.

Hellion gives you a whole solar system to play in. There are ruins of the civilization that was meant to be that you can pick through for materials, or dodge as they hurtle past or through your ship.

Sentry guns, pistols, rifles, fabrication, mining, and hide and seek with the other players.

Bases are always in game, but thanks to the orbital mechanics you can put them where they are hard to find. No magic building tool, just finding salvage and using it.

Start with very little, build to get more.

There are some bugs yet, but they are worth putting up with. This game is stupidly fun.
