Игра от создателей Fortune's Tavern. Та же проблема, что и в прошлый раз - надстройки над движком RPG Maker XP вызывают дикие тормоза. Причем лагает все: боевка, мирные локации, даже ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ менюшки и те лагают. В нее просто неприятно играть.

Боевка, кстати, такая же, как и в Fortune's Tavern.

Учитывая, что команда разработчиков состоит из:
1) Одного парня, который все кодит
2) Его беременной жены
3) Их семилетнего сына, который все тестирует
... нет никаких шансов на то, что движок приведут в порядок.

While the actual gameplay seems like it could be fairly decent, it is ruined by the god-awful user experience. Every single part of the UI is as bare bones as you can get, no polish whatsoever, and chalk full of bugs. Even simple things like fullscreen vs. windowed mode is pretty broken. For example, when you die in windowed mode, the game goes back to fullscreen mode until you change it again. Also, in less than an hour of play time, I've experienced 3 crashes due to some mouse script the game is running. And why on Earth is the game "always on top" of other windows?!

Hopefully the dev will one day see that user experience is extremely important and fix all the issues and polish the UI, as the game really might be something worth playing. Until then, however, it is very difficult to reccomend this game... to anyone.

Баааа

Hard game)

Ok so this game is quirky, it is fun, and it is definitely different. It is an A-RPG at it's core, with a story, albeit short at the moment. I do recommend you give this game a shot, if you had fun with other ARPG's, even Binding of Isaac fans could really get into this, altough it has more in terms of items, and managing things. I guess I will do the standard Pros and Cons for people here. . .

Pros:
1: Game has fun old-school style graphics (I enjoy at least, not everyone's cup of tea I understand though)
2: You control a starship and crew, with mechs to help you in battle if you choose
3: Action-RPG that rewards skill, as opposed to just rewarding grinding as many turned based RPG's do (This is not turned based obviously being an ARPG
4: Many upgrades for yourself, and upgrades for your mechs
5: You can board enemy ships, to take them as your own, or buy a better ship if you want instead
6: You can choose to play as a fighter or a commander, either going in and leveling while killing, or letting mechs do the work and staying in the back
7: The price of this game is very low, and IMHO you will get your money's worth of hours of fun
8: Walking around areas, using the action key, you find genetic material or download data or find parts to upgrade mechs all space stations and stuff. Stuff that looks like part of the scenery, actually holds value, which I find endearing. It doesn't stick out, and scream "COME GET ME." You have to use your brain on this one folks.

Cons:
1: There are some bugs, although the developer responded FAST on the boards, then patched some problems same day.
2: The resolutions are a bit funky, and you must restart the game for them to take effect, some of them cause the game to be half off the screen, at least on my monitor.
3: The controls are a bit wonky as well, as how you move is very basic, 4 directions only for facing, can't fire in diagonal, and to fire you push numbers 1 thru 4, while using the WASD to move, is very hard on the fingers. (Can use numpad to move to make it a lot easier, not sure if you can rebind firing keys, as that would be very handy)
4: Taking Damage from enemies can be somewhat delayed / non-informative. They fire 4 or 5 shots at you, and each does 400 damage, and you die near instantly before being able to react.
5: From what I can tell, there is not information when killing an enemy on experience earned, or how far from a level you are, or what is in those brown sacks they drop that you pick up. I assume it is credits, but it gives no information.


All in all, this game is a good buy, and the developer has already commented that he is looking into adding the ability to build your own space station in the game. Things like that, are so unique to a game like this, and I love that he is considering it, and not just going and doing the same tropes that 3/4's of the developers do nowadays.

Забавно

Забавная космическая инди! Чувствуется приключенческий момент и элементы RPG! Годно!

I don't like giving out bad reviews but after playing this for a couple of minutes I felt I should give my honest opinion.

A basic RPG maker game gone wrong. Most RPG maker games are not good and this is no exception. It crashes frequently, the UI is beyond horrible.
The music and sound are atrocious, thankfully there is an option to turn off the music. Sometimes it even works. However the annoying beeps that happen whenever you move over a selection in the menu apparently can't be turned off and since, for some unknown reason the game is always on top getting to the volume mixer to turn off the sound was a hassle.

All that being said, the concept of the game is a solid one and if it was re-released in a proper programming language with a good UI and better sounds/music (Or at least the option to turn them off). I would be happy to purchase it again and play it through.

Has potential, but the developer needs more experience. that or RPG maker is having issues i did not know about. while i admire the developers attempt, they should probably attempt to polish and streamline the game. Many things are unacounted for, and the games interfaces are extremely clunky. Good Start, but it really needs to be better. I would suggest holding off for a bit longer until the dev gets around to improving his games performance/ interface and quality in general.
