A Toasty Review: Steam game Fractured Space

Hi there! This is me, NotYourOrdinarySliceOfBread making a video game review of Fractured Space.

Fractured Space is a team based space combat early access game in it's alpha state. It's worth 
$9.99 in Steam and let's hope that it'll stay like that until the game gets finished.
Although, if you got the game when it was featured in free weekend, you'll get to keep the game in your account forever, isn't that amazing?


For an early access and alpha game, it shows a lot of potential to become the next EVE Online like game. It features fast-paced space battles held with ships that you control.
In-game, there are three manufacturers of ships where you get to choose your ship.
First: The United Space Research or USR for short.
The USR's first ship is the Flagship, a large, slow moving ship that can act as the tank of the team as it has high health that it'll take literally at least two or three ships to take down.
Second: Zarek Industrial: Zarek's first ship is the Hunter. The Hunter is Zarek's ship that has average health and overwhelming firepower. It's size is somewhat smaller than that of the Flagship's, but it can also take a lot of damage just like the Flagship. Both Flagships and Hunters can act as tanks in the battlefield.
Third: Titan Defense Systems: Titan Defense Systems' ships are mainly for support purposes. It's first ship is the Corvette, a small support craft. While it can't take that much damage unlike the other two first said ships, it's main purpose is to support it's tanks with healing beams and shields that can turn the tides in-game if used efficiently.

As for now, the game features a single map that has five sectors, each of which can become a battlefield for both teams. The main sectors are the Team 1 base and the Team 2 base. The three other sectors is where most of the battles will occur. Those three are namely the Gamma(middle) sector, the Alpha(right) sector, and Beta(left) sector. (The positioning of the Alpha and Beta sectors depends on what team you are in)
(Mini-map in-game)
As it features 5v5 battles, each team can either choose to have two people in the Alpha or Beta sector, then three at the remaining sector.

There are two ways in which your team could win the game. One is, to gather as much oil as possible by taking control of the Gamma sector and other oil structures found in all other sectors of the map including the bases, or you could simply take control of the enemy team's HQ.

To be able to warp to your enemy team's base, you should take control of either the Beta's or Alpha's bases, marked as red large dots in the mini-map.Once enemies start to attempt to capture your base, the only thing you could do by that time is to take them down. Unlike bases and oil structures in the Beta and Alpha sectors, HQ's can't be recaptured.

As for now, I give this game a rating of 8/10. Everybody who has read my past blogposts knows that I don't rate games that much. I only rate those games that are meant to be rated. Mainly because I also agree with their ratings from other gamers. I only rate games that are SUPPOSED to be rated by gamers who think that it's worth it. And for me, I think that this game is promising. VERY PROMISING.

So, that's it for today this is me NotYourOrdinarySliceOfBread saying, games are meant to be played, not meant to be made for profit. If you make games for profit, you should rather consider getting a job.(That's for those game devs that don't finish and make their games right even though their games shows potential in them).
