It\u2019s time for awesomeness in the form of Jump Ship<\/em>, an upcoming space FPS laced with piracy, intense space combat, and pineapple pizza! You and up to 3 other intrepid explorers of the cosmos fight for riches and to rid the galaxy of a malevolent AI army (and a few pirates along the way).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jump Ship<\/em> flawlessly incorporates both the high-speed thrill of starship-to-starship combat and your classic FPS experience. What makes it unique is that sometimes BOTH happen at the same time. In my short time playing the beta version, I have found that teamwork is essential. In the heat of battle, a designated pilot and a weapons operator need to evade enemy fire and fight back. The other two? Oh, they just repair the ship, put out fires, and LAUNCH THEMSELVES INTO SPACE TO FIGHT HEAVILY ARMOURED SPACESHIPS! That being said, this game makes you feel utterly unstoppable. It is literally Sea of Thieves<\/em>, No Man’s Sky<\/em> and Left for Dead<\/em> but more EPIC! At long last we can play Star Citizen<\/em> the way it was meant to be played!<\/p>\n\n\n

Missions, varying from ten minutes to an hour in length, vary in difficulty and are essential for upgrading your ship and freeing the galaxy from evil. From mid-flight heists to planetary raids, this game is fast-paced and is utterly amazing. Take my word for it, when your fellow crewmate has absolutely no driving experience, nothing gets the blood pumping better than jumping off of a moving ship into the terrifying void of space to somehow land on an opposing freighter moving faster than the speed of sound. Or the suspense as a patrol of AI fighters slowly drifts above your hiding spot amidst a rock formation. And what better way is there to blow off steam with your mates than eating a fresh pineapple pizza whilst your surroundings are currently on fire? I wouldn\u2019t have it any other way!<\/p>\n\n\n

Jump Ship<\/em> has almost no limits\u2026 except for incoming reinforcements, that solar flare, and the blown weapons system\u2026 mino inconveniences. So, grab your best friends, throw that driving manual out the airlock, and strap in, you’re in for the ride of your lives\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
