Exovia

About Exovia

Exovia is a physics-based asteroid mining simulator from ByteRockers’ Games. Released on December 31, 2026, it’s a single-player PC game where you manage resources, automate machinery, and build infrastructure on chaotic asteroids. The goal: construct a warp gate to enable interstellar travel. You’ll start with basic tools, expand conveyor networks, and refine raw materials while adapting to shifting gravity and environmental hazards. The game blends methodical planning with real-time problem solving, offering a slow-burn experience focused on system optimization over action. If you enjoy turning disorder into efficiency, Exovia’s your playground.

Gameplay

Exovia revolves around resource management and automation. You’ll place drills, conveyor belts, and processors to extract and transport minerals. Each asteroid has unique physics, rocks tumble, gravity shifts, and machinery needs recalibration. Early sessions involve manual labor, like dragging cargo, but later progress relies on scripted automation. You’ll upgrade facilities, stabilize unstable terrain, and troubleshoot breakdowns mid-operation. Exploration adds variety: scan asteroids for rare ores and expand your network deeper into clusters. Controls are click-and-drag, with a real-time interface that rewards patience. The challenge isn’t speed but precision; one miscalculated conveyor route can collapse your entire operation.

What Players Think

PlayPile users rate Exovia 8.2/10, with 65% completing the core warp gate objective. Average playtime is 25 hours, though 30% spend over 50. Community moods skew “calm” (45%) and “focused” (30%), with some frustration noted during physics glitches. Critics praise its depth but call the learning curve steep: 40% of reviews mention a 10-hour adjustment period. Positive feedback highlights “satisfying system scaling” and “unique asteroid mechanics.” Negative reviews cite “repetitive late-game tasks” and “poor tutorial pacing.” Achievements (25 total) average 80% completion, with the hardest being “Stable Warp Core” requiring perfect resource balance.

PlayPile's Take

Exovia shines for simulation fans who enjoy incremental progress and mechanical puzzles. At $39.99, it’s a mid-tier buy with high replay value for tinkerers. Skip if you prefer fast action or open-world exploration. The physics quirks and automation depth make it rewarding for patient players, but its niche focus means it won’t appeal to everyone. If you’ve mastered games like Satisfactory or Factorio and crave cosmic-scale logistics, this is worth the investment. Otherwise, its slow tempo might test your endurance.

Storyline

You are humanities new hope, sent out alone to the farthest reaches of outer space in order to build a warp gate that will pave the way to the stars!
