Freely piloting a customizable ship through a large, open galaxy, trading and fighting in a retro-styled space sim that feels unfinished.

What players say
Players see Naev as a free, open-source Escape Velocity successor with deeper combat than its peers. They consistently compare it to Endless Sky, with opinions split on which game is better. While the lore and depth draw praise, many note unbalanced elements, obscure systems, and bugs that can be frustrating, especially for newcomers.
