Love the game, it deserves much praise and there are nice mods aplenty, but I cannot in good conscience recommend the steam version because of the asinine way the updates are handled here.

I was playing modded v3.0.3 and invested some 200+ game years into this save and then v3.0.4 came out which brought just few changes to multiplayer (didn't care for details as I don't play MP) and nothing to singleplayer and it bricked my save as the game outright refused to launch ("your mods are for older version of the game", "unable to launch the game").

I can't believe I had to *ahem* acquire the v3.0.3 game from another seller just to continue playing.

I found no way to prevent this from happening again in the future with steam version. Steam removed "just do not update this game" option some years ago and I'm still grumpy about that (thanks, Gayb). Stellaris itself has an option to choose older versions in Beta settings, but it doesn't have v3.0.3.

And from I heard, other people had lost their savegames before even without mods just during major updates, so there's that.

I'm 40 hours in and I haven't played the game yet, I only create different characters with different backstories and stats and test them out for few levels.

Please send help.

EDIT:
150 hours in.
This is one of the best games I've played in the past six years that came out in the past six years.
I should post more elaborate review later, too busy trying to kill that enormous dragon on Path of the Damned difficulty.

Плюсы:
  • в принципе забавно, если фанат беседкофоллаутов или (внезапно) тамагочи
  • много легендарных шмоток, которые можно собрать

Минусы:
  • лутбоксы-лутбоксики
  • мобильный "геймплей" - просто и с ожиданием в реальном времени
  • контента не особо
  • кривое управление на клавемыши
  • пустошь за пределами убежища не завезли, только текстовый лог исследований

Играл на релизе на ПК через эмулятор, пришлось попотеть для запуска. Отдельное спасибо разрабам, что поленились оперативно сделать порт на ПК.

Если будете пробовать, советую играть со спидхаком через CheatEngine.
Но пообмазывать модами другую беседкоигру лично мне будет интересней.

Казуальная кликалка прямиком с мобилок.
Создаёшь вирус, кидаешь его в песочницу, смотришь как он развивается. Управление непрямое посредством изменения самого вируса.


По сравнению с другими мобильными играми игра весьма хороша.

Есть куча сценариев (играл в это ещё до релиза на Стиме: добавили много нового с тех пор), есть различные пути развития (но всё равно рулит один: спокойно раскачиваешь резистентности, как заразишь достаточно жертв/начнут обращать внимание, мутируешь в смертельный штамм, ПРОФИТ! МАДАГАСКАР, ИСЛАНДИЯ )

Карточки, ачивки в наличии. Разрабы живы.


Но на этом и всё, игра заточена на реплеи(повторные партии) и путь от создания до гамовера чуть быстрее чем длится ваша поездка в метро.

Почти весь контент заблокирован пока не пройдёшь игру с разблокированной мутацией.

Основная доля валюты появляется монетками на экране, которые нужно тапнуть кликнуть в течении нескольких секунд: ставишь ускоренную перемотку времени, с определённой периодичностью на паузе собираешь монетки.


С мобилки ещё норм, но в таком случае проще загружить из Плей маркета.

Зачем это в Стиме, не очень понятно, ведь нет же таких пускающих слюни отбитков, для которых даже Дота слишком сложна и они играют в вот это на компе. Ведь нет же, правда? Правда??

Аниме, фансервис, гаремник.
Я что, когда-то наиграл в это 10 часов?
Весь "геймплей" - та игрушка на телефон, в которую нужно шарики друг с другом совмещать плюс сбор предметов, влияющие на получение очков за это. По сути, визуальная новелла, но почитать особо нечего.
Сюжета нет, школьник проснулся от того, что к нему прилетела фея, придала ускорение и ГГ тут же стал клеиться ко всем девушкам без разбору.
Нельзя выбрать рут одной девушки, предлагают брать количеством, как покемонов.
Никого (девушек в том числе) не волнует, со сколькими ГГ одновременно встречается.
ЗППП и девушек уже занятых в отношениях в чудесной аниме-стране нет.
Нет длинных диалогов, чтобы хотя бы персонажей раскрыть. Спрашиваешь детали о ней, она позднее проверяет: "ты запомнил, когда у меня ДР/какое у меня хобби этц.?" - "Да, конечно!" (shift+tab'аешься в гайд)
Есть ачивка если своруешь трусики у всех девушек.
Есть голосовая озвучка (играл на английском).
Есть куча аниме артов.
Есть ачивки и карточки.

Персональная оценка: 3/10, на восьмилетнего любителя.

Когда читаешь фентези, на обложку всегда пихают мужика в фуллплейте или, допустим, кастующего мага, вне зависимости от того, про что книга.
Тут тоже самое, только всю игру можно описать такой обложкой.
Напоминает смесь третьего варика и третьих же героев, только для детей, теперь с диалогами уровня "копатель онлайн".
Лично у меня возникло впечатление, будто разрабы — фанаты варика/хомм и делали игры для своих детей, чтобы они не кричали про "пап, как я в это играть буду, я вижу пиксели!".
Хоть многого и не ожидал от иконки, на всякий случай покупал Платиновое издание.
Оказалось, зря.

About this game
Before:
Now:
Performance
At least 30 fps in fights on medium configuration.
Steadily declining performance over the years so I had to gradually lower my settings after each update, as a result 15-20 fps in now pixelized fights.
Load times
Press "Connect" to hop onto server.
I can brew a cup of tea and make a sanwich while it is connecting me.
Mann versus Machine mode
I have to pay to play with decent human beans, but I can get pro ks or an aussie drop in MvM that I can sell and get my tickets' worth back?
More than 50 tours done, $4 per tour, not a single aussie dropped, all other drop was sold and still I'm down like a lot after buying all those tickets.

Community servers
There are some servers in EU zone where I can play with skilled players and mediocre ping and there are few servers in my own country, where players are not so skilled, but still it offers me a sense of team play with good ping.
All community servers I used to play are constantly empty. EU servers get players after it's like 3-4 am in my place.
Valve public servers
I can hop onto any valve public server with ping&map I chose and play there for as long as I like. Little to no team play, though, so good luck playing anything except power classes.
I am forced to wait few minutes to be connected to a valve not-so-public matchmaking server which will have one of many maps I chose, but I cannot choose just one map because I'll have to wait like 40 minutes then. And I can't set maximum ping, so I'll have to quit few times from 250+ ping servers this thing kindly offered me. And no scramble voting or auto balancing, enjoy being rolled. Oh, and I'm forced to quit a server and stare at "searching for a server" screen again after playing few rounds. "Competitive" mode crashes my tf2 constantly and it has only 6s mode, no 9vs9 or HL mode.
Is fun to play?
Depends on the server but overall pretty fun since I either stomp pubs with power classes or play on community servers with decent players.
[salt]What the ♥♥♥♥ is my team doing? Why did my pocket stopped to reload in the middle of my uber? That medic is pocketing pyro and none of them extinguished me while I was afterburning to death in front of them. Badwater defence 1st point, why I'm the only one holding cliff? Badwater offence 1st point, why is my team tries to push under uber from the right side when enemy cliff is literally empty? Am I the only one spy-checking here and I'm not pyro? Why does our medic casually walk through sniper sight lines like it's not big of a deal? [/salt] Is not fun.

Revoked my bundle copy.
Recommended to anyone who'd like to crap their pants from red Steam "Support" Alert, a truly horror experience.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=650310418

Update: The game has silently re-appered in my library without any notification. It's been more than 2 months since that and any official comment on this is yet to follow. My negative feedback remains where it was.

> 2D side scroller platformer where there are a lot of cliffs in the very beginning of a new frame and save-points are very scarce and one-off.

So I just accidentally walked off a cliff and lost 5 hours of progress...

Today I have transcended far beyond simple rage, words can no longer describe my emotions.

1) Go on store page for this game (if you aren't already there);
2) Scroll down to reviews;
3) Choose "Positive only" tab;
4) Press "Load more reviews" on the bottom of the page;
5) Look for reviewers with 1 review on account and low amount of products on account (3 or less);
6) Open some of these accounts:
  • either no playtime("0.1h on record") in the game or actively idling ("Recent Game Activity" = "total time on the record in this game").
    For example, the guy who played it "for over two years" has all the playtime in it over past two weeks:
    http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=321551847
  • other games on account (if any) are either f2p or were given away for free in the past
  • no other content on such accounts: no friends, no screenies, nothing.
7) ?????
8) Say "Hi" to developers' alts!

P.S. I have no opinion on the game itself since I didn't play it.
P.P.S. I got developer's reply to this review here in comments, you can also check his/her opinion on this.
