Gameplay

Players control a character - cloned astronauts called "ectypes" - and work for a mysterious god-like presence called METEM, who has laid down principles of survival for the remains of humanity. The players are sent out into space (pilgrimages) on customizable spaceships to take on a collective of enemies called The Hollow, all the while maintaining their ship, gathering resources and leveling up.

Players can choose between several different roles on the ship: Pilot, Gunner, Engineer or Scavenger, and each of these have their own set of skills needed to complete missions. Players complete tasks to maintain the ship, such as repairing damaged systems and going EVA to collect supplies and make hull repairs.

Development

Void Crew was released for Windows in early access on September 7, 2023, with an exclusive gameplay announcement video by YouTuber Jesse Cox, who played the game with the developers. According to an interview between Danish gaming media Arkaden and CEO Benjamin Lund, the Early Access period was essential to building up community and shaping the game. Players were able to provide the developer with explicit and implicit feedback, which meant that the team also discovered new ways of playing the game that they hadn't thought of themselves.

Rock Paper Shotgun reviewed the game the same month as it released. They commented on the fact that the game tried "for a curious blend of jolly party game and macabre theocracy work simulator", and praised the fun they had deciding on who gets to be the captain. However, they mentioned that it would take something extra for it to be one of the better space games, giving examples of adding PvP or PvE.

Reception

Void Crew received "generally favorable" reviews on the review aggregator Metacritic with an overall score of 80.

PC Gamer wrote that Void Crew "is basically the best Firefly game ever made", but that they were disappointed by the Scavenger role, which they felt was not defined enough to matter for the gameplay.
