500 Years Act 1

This game is mind numbingly bad in almost every possible way. Storyline is childish and poorly written and since it's completely text based the spelling and grammar mistakes are just glaringly obvious. (I wouldn't care that it's text based, but get someone to check your spelling and grammar, please) It acts like you have some freedom, but you really don't; the story is linear, you move your ship in a very straight forward planet to planet progression or you fail. Most of your time is spent reading background story for each planet or hailing new people just to listen to them spout drivel that is poorly written and just has no value to what your goals are. You'll meet a new species and get pages of text that amount to: "We are is the guys that do crawl from water aned will be the eating you todday, ok? Do you agree?" You either agree and the game ends, or you fight. Rinse and repeat for about 2 hours until the game is over. I'm not joking. Short game filled with bad dialogue, linear hand holding and nothing of real interest happens. Oh, and to add insult to injury, the combat mechanics are stupid. Before each fight you pick a simplistic loadout. Would you like to use shield 1, 2 or 3 today? Would you like to use computer 1, 2 or 3 today? Would you like to use engine 1, 2 or 3 today? Again: not joking, this is what the equipment in the game is called. The only minor attempt at strategy comes from picking which weapon you will use, either short, medium or long range and through trial and error (fail and reload) you'll figure out which weapon type works against each alien race. The problem is it just doesn't matter, once you die and figure out you need a different weapon type you just kind of win. There's no strategy beyond that involved. You don't even have control over shooting in this game. Combat is just floating in a direction while aiming, the ship auto-fires for you at whatever enemy you select. If you have the right weapon to hit their speed and flight pattern you'll win, if you don't you will fail, change weapons and try again. And that's the entire game. Bad writing in a childish storyline punctuated by boring combat and lackluster strategy choices; and even if it was a good game (and it's not), it's so short you'll barely notice it exists. If you see me with more than 2 hours played on this game it's because I decided to idle it and get the steam cards, or I'm drunk and hate myself enough to get 100% achievements just to prove I can. If you want a real testament to how bad this game is, take one look at the world statistics for achievement completion. The achievement with the highest completion rating is 4%. That means 96% of the people who own this game do not complete the very first achievement. You can reach the first achievement (a boy and his goat) after playing less than 5 minutes of the game and without effort or combat, all you need to do is click through some storyline and fly to the very first planet (the only one on your map, you can't miss it). That means 96% of the people who own this game have not even played it for 5 minutes. Those people were smart enough to see how bad the game was and just shut it off. I hate myself enough to keep playing longer than that, but I don't recommend anyone else be this much of a masochist. Just to add further insult to those who buy it: the game asks you from the moment you launch it whether you want to play act 1 or act 2. The developers never bothered to make act 2. So even pretending this was a good game, it was half a game and then abandoned and it will remind you of this every time you start it up. So even forcing yourself to "finish" puts you half way through this very bad story that never ends. This is one of those games that make steam look bad for even allowing it to be sold in the store. --- EDIT: This game currently has 6 positive reviews out of 56, but the store page summary at the top says it only has 6 reviews total and won't post its positive/mixed/negative summary. (which should be glaringly negative) --- [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/38232109/]While you are here, would you consider following my curator page?[/url] [url=https://steamcommunity.com/id/kunovega/recommended/]Want to read all of my reviews and not just the curated ones?[/url]

Very nice game

No tiene casi jugabilidad jajaja, la mayor parte es ir planeta por planeta hablando con los personajes.

一般 玩玩的~~~~~~

Tags: Casual - Twich & Arcade Additional Tags: Delete Local Content & Remove from Library TLDR: An amateur hybrid concept that suffers from repetitive gameplay, possibilities of hittting a progression wall if not careful with upgrade paths, takes a bit of grind, story and dialogue are poor. Core concept had something going for it however. Not much content - Beaten in an evening. Ultimately not worth your time. Review: The screenshots makes you think this is a first person game, it isnt, it is a sidescroller, that rotates once in a while revealing it has some kind of 3d engine backing it. Integrates Visual Novel style for narrative. The visual novel part, which helps advance the story offers only limited dialogue, only one path forward, and the dialogue choices, when they are present, simply are an excuse to divide the dialogue in parts to get more flavor text out of encounters. Dialogue choices are always empty of meaning, and will yield to the same result, always leading to a fight which you cannot avoid. There are about three enemy race types and about 3 different sizes of ships. You can also upgrade your ship with few upgrade modules which you all find early. You can talk to crew using the menu but they only have one set of dialogue each which does not change to relect current events unfolding in the storyline, and most of the characters have little to nothing even remotely interesting to say. The quality of the writing is overall poor, the galaxy feels somewhat empty, memorable encounters are very few to non-existant. The sound effects are overused and the music is tolerable if rudimentary and cycles quite a bit but without getting on your nerves. The game can be finished quickly, and by far the most frutrating part of it is the combat, there is only one way to even get the combat mechanics to remotely work given the controls you have, which involves taking slow firing ordinance and high engines and kiting enemies. There is a skip button that sometimes show up sometimes doesnt after a defeat... using the skip button might be advisable as you do not get any reward for fighting enemies, however doing so does cut away from the satisfaction of knowing you beat the game so I would only use it sparingly to cut some tedium... There is an advertised "coming soon" act 2 dlc that is meant to finish the plot of the storyline. I cant say I am very excited to play it, and I doubt it will ever come has this game is not exactly brand new and the dlc should had been out by now. Overall this would had been okay as a free game, and if you are in the mood for mindless clunky space combat, and space exploration for the brain damaged you might find some redeeming qualities here But this is an overall passable if somewhat negative experience for any gamer. I would not recommend you spend time or money on this. But I think the dev could potentially make something worth playing if they put in some real effort.
