Transcendence is a 2.5D free to play sci-fi PC space trading game that runs along the lines of the Space Rogue, Elite, Eve Online, and the X (Beyond the Frontier, Terran Conflict, etc) series. Though weighing in at only a tiny 17MB, the game provides surprising deep gameplay for its size, letting players have free reign on what they want to do---play as a simple drifter running supplies among the many space stations; as a guardian of the myriad galactic enclaves; and even as a bounty hunter hunting down space outlaws.

Join me as I embark on my journey to the Galactic Core. I need all my luck as there are many threats the vastness of space harbors, chief among them a low YouTube viewer count.

I'll be posting a review of this game in the next few weeks. Meanwhile, here are my reviews of other free to play PC shooter games: http://imbacore.blogspot.com/search/label/Free%20FPS

Part 9: where I upgrade the ship's omnidirectional laser turret. I also stumbled on a station that's selling a dirt-cheap solar panel array, solving my fuel problems. Things are looking up!! I encounter an outlaw craft that displays impressive AI; every time its shields drop it flees to regenerate its shields then comes back again for another pass. Also: A lot of pirates have been cauterized to death in the making of this video.

Part 8: Where I catch the game's first boss idly watching Discovery Channel in his room, allowing me to gut his habitat with impunity. I initially think I've run into a bug though as the "Mission Successful!" prompt didn't pop-up. Further forays into the sector though, reveal that the glitch isn't game breaking. Here, I also warp into another sector where I find a mining facility and a whole string of (friendly) weapon factories.
