Gameplay
Evochron Renegades features three main gameplay modes: training, freeform single player (which includes an integrated story), and multiplayer. A multiplayer video game is one which more than one person can play in the same game environment at the same time In single player mode, the player can choose their own path in the game: becoming a pirate, miner, mercenary, trader, racer, smuggler, explorer, provider of cleaning services, virtually anything, without having to preselect a profession.
Universe
The game universe is three dimensional and entirely seamless, meaning one can fly from planet to planet given one has the fuel, resources and time. While occasional secrets may be found on such trips, it can takes hours or even days to fly from planet to planet. To avoid such journeys, every ship can be outfitted with a Fulcrum Drive which allows the player to instantly 'jump' from point to point within range of the capabilities of the equipped Fulcrum Drive. There are five levels of Fulcrum Drive, and a sixth, secret and experimental drive. Also, throughout the universe are Fulcrum Gates which can transport ships through much larger distances in a flash.
These gates have a set destination and form a main path throughout the game's universe. The last method of transportation are wormholes, which are typically one-way and can send a player to otherwise unreachable locations.
Learning curve
Evochron Renegades has a steep learning curve. The interactive training mode instructs new players on the basics of flying, combat, navigation, inventory management, station docking, planetary descents, and trading.
Availability and updates
The demo mode contains 90 minutes of single player gameplay.
Trivia
- Multiplayer was not officially announced as a feature of Renegades, but was later announced through a hunt for an unknown easteregg during the beta's. Testers quickly unraveled textual clues in the games text files, finally resulting in the common understanding the easteregg was in fact a multiplayer mode.
Fan-made cover. - Evochron: Renegades is the first StarWraith game to feature a seamless universe.
