3030 Deathwar Redux - A Space Odyssey

In the relatively small genre of topdown space games, 3030 Deathwar Redux manages to be a solid example of how to make the spaceship flight and combat feel good. It's responsive without being arcadey, weapons feel solid without combat being over too quickly, and everything acts as you think it should for the most part. If it was just this, it would be a good game, a solid example of the genre. It's not just that though. When you get out of your ship, it's a side on adventure game strongly reminiscent of early Lucasarts titles, and it has a pretty good story to go along with that feel as well. It only has (as far as I'm aware) the one main story, but it's easily as good or better than many of the multitude of stories Escape Velocity Nova had, which is about the only other topdown space adventure game I can think of that had actual meaningful story. So that part of the game is ALSO solid, good, and fun to interact with. And then there's all the other bits and pieces. The interface is pretty clean but does what it should, the feel of the setting is excellent, there's a lot of little jokes or references that in my opinion add a lot of fun, there's a scavenging minigame sort of thing, you can build your ships all sorts of different ways... it all fits together in that way that elevates all the individually good parts into a -really- good game. You should try it!

I felt the game wasn't very engaging. You aren't given much detail on what different weapons or ship types do, and they all seem to be similar just with different stats and prices. The main storyline missions to make money take a lot of time and effort for a fraction of the pay you get from randomly generated missions. The HUD is also very busy but not well explained. I frequently got confused by which dot on the map represented my ship. During combat I never could even tell how much shields or hull I had left. Lastly, the game seems very easy, even not knowing the above I still won every fight.

Reminds me of Sierra's Space Quest mixed with a dash of Privateer. Definitely a fun game if you are looking for a silly space action game

The soundtrack alone is well worth the asking price but the game as a whole is pretty good. I am enjoying it.

Oh man I love this! I got hooked immediately as I started it. The 80s synthwave soundtrack is awesome too, worth it just for the music! Very nice!

This was a great time. My life was made brighter by this brief time tearing through space and nebula with 80's tribute music blasting. Thank you for making it, Bird In The Sky. Safe flying. If you are considering this game ... please do purchase it. I bought it ages ago and let it sit in my collection, but it deserves more than that.

This is great, really like this, similar to oldskool gaming like Star Control 2 which I absolutely love.

无中文，文本量又太大，游戏无法进行下去~

A fantastic game that feels like uncovering a lost sci‑fi classic. It’s short, sweet, and immediately approachable, with clear inspiration from the greats and clever references sprinkled everywhere. The gameplay stays simple yet surprisingly engaging, pulling you into that “one more run” rhythm before you realize hours have passed. The ending does come abruptly, but even that lands with a goofy charm that leaves you smiling. 3030 Deathwar sticks with you long after the credits roll.
