Is helionaut worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Space-adventure players who want open exploration and planet-to-planet travel
- Crafting fans who prefer a short game with 7 ship parts and more than 20 upgrades
- Players seeking a light combat adventure across multiple character worlds
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a long campaign may stop after the stated 3–4+ hours of playtime
- Players wanting deep character progression may find the focus on exploration, crafting, and spaceship upgrades too limited
- Players looking for a purely combat-focused game may bounce off the resource gathering and television-repair objective
Our take on helionaut
Players who need a long-form space campaign may bounce off once the central exploration loop has delivered its 3–4+ hours of playtime. The crafting system also becomes a stopping point for anyone expecting extensive build variety beyond the listed ship parts, blueprints, and upgrades.
What is helionaut?
Helionaut is an open-world space adventure about repairing a television.
Players travel through a procedurally generated universe containing micro-planets, asteroid belts, and UFOs, flying to planets they can see.
