Reviews are salty or it's really mediocre?

[Rodrigo]

you know, sometimes people review bomb for bugs, denuvo, anything really, and never come back to change it, so all mixed reviews... not a good sign, not a good game really?

[Rin D. Pryde]

Ever tried, I don't know, reading them?

oh my, why didn't I think of that? perhaps because mixed literally have pro and against, so whom should I believe hmm... perhaps a salty guy on forums might know better since he uses his time so wisely.

I think the game is pretty good. However, it doesn't capture the "magic" that was Faster Than Light.
If you expect it to be just as good or better you will probably be disappointed, If you go into the game with no expectations you will most likely have a good time.

It went on sale awfully fast - the mixed reviews aren't helping me commit either. Looks great though..but so do Dodge RAMs.

Came here asking the same question. Reviews I saw at launch said it was quite buggy, so I held off. How is performance now?

Hi everyone!

I will try to be not biased as possible.

Before release, we had a pretty long closed beta test and were thinking that everything is great based on players feedback. But on thousands of players and not only core hardcore audience it turns out we have plenty of work to make Trigon: Space Story more accessible to everyone.

This is a hardcore roguelike strategy game where major meta progression is you learning to make a fast and right strategic decision to increase your chances to survive in a dangerous space.

After release, we got giant players feedback and it was incredibly helpful. We always talk with players, analyze reviews|feedback|streams, and make a plan of updates based on this. We already shared 5 Patches and will continue working hard on further updates. All major bugs were fixed already. Now it is more about balance changes, quality of life, minor bug fixing, and additional content.

If you would like to share your questions, suggestions, or something else - you are very welcome here or on discord https://discord.gg/Sx3ZypU2VU

We are dreamers and players too, so we are stunned by how big and passionate community we have. This is the best we have - players. Thank you for helping us with CBT. Thank you for playing Trigon on stream and making game content. Thank you for providing feedback and suggestions. All these stories are diamonds. When players help us with localization in their native language, share a huge list of suggestions and game design documents, play OST on piano, and even this topic in which you ask and want to get to the bottom of the truth, and not just skip the game due to mixed reviews - all this gives us the power to continue to expand Trigon.

Hope you will enjoy your Space Stories.

I played a lot of FTL, so that's what brought me here. This game for me is fun and I'll come back for runs here and there. While there is definitely a different feel then FTL, the game is still tactical and has it's moments. If you like the genre you will play it just fine.

So it might have gotten bad reviews prior to patches that focused on feedbacks I see. Again, rarely people change their reviews

You can try the demo and see for yourself.

On launch first you had FTL fanboys trying to sabotage this game. They bought, gave a bad review and then refunded all in the space of a few hours. Each of them was extremely salty about how this was a FTL rip-off. Needless to say that FTL itself was a rip-off from the game Sundog.
And then you had those rushing to fight the gate boss and losing terribly. People tried to tell them that you have to take your time and level up first but they couldn't wait to be hero's and gave the game trash reviews. It was hit hard and the game didn't deserve those bad reviews.
Now it's levelling out as new players give it a try, and of course a lot of the bugs have been dealt with and balance issues addressed.

Very. I usually go with the reviews on steam, they are mostly on the button, but sometimes people boycott certain games for reasons only known to themselves and can bury a great game. It's a bit like the cancel culture for games. I know after playing the game I was confused as to why it wasn't more on the positive side, the argument weren't making much sense.

[The Boldr]

I played more than my fair share of FTL (over 500 hours I think) and I bought this outright knowing it was meant to be the spiritual successor. I wanted to like the game so badly because of how much I wanted to play an upgraded version. I think the game could have been fine, but honestly it doesn't catch my attention like FTL and at the end of the day I'd rather be playing FTL. That's not a good thing.

But worst off the game is in all ways, shapes, and forms FTL with a shiny coat and a little bit rotten core. There are some minor differences (needing to track fuel and supplies, having a more free-form escape from the oncoming fleet, leveling characters); but those differences are so superficial they don't make up for the negatives over just playing FTL (the sloppy controls, the sloppy controls, the sloppy controls (yes that's how bad), the atrocious writing, the lack of variability over FTL (every game of mine felt the same)).

I wanted to love this game, but I just can't.

Hi, Sernur.

I flirt with Trigon since idk when, but what stops me from buying it is the fear it will end up repetitive. I love difficulty, so it wouldn't be a problem, but it seems, judging by the lives I watched, there isn't much variation of what to do, like, the battles looked the same.

Space Crew, for example, get's boring after a while, what they tried to fix adding more variations in activities.

Also, why nobody sits? Looks tiresome haha (for real, it's weird).
