Agni Fighter

[b][quote][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asset_flip]Warning: Asset Flip![/url][/quote][/b] Agni Fighter is an asset flip, or what Valve calls a "Fake Game". The "developer" paid for/pirated someone else's example/template/tutorial game, changed the name/reskinned a couple of things, and submitted it to Valve as if it was their own game. This game template is most commonly asset flipped by a Chinese guy using the accounts XF Game, Small Game Studio (and some Chinese variants of that name) to conduct asset flips of this and other Unity asset packs. Here's some other asset flips of this game so you can see what I mean: [list] [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2237820]Aeolus Fighter[/url] [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2267830]Aeolus Fighter 2[/url] [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2238020]Ares Fighter[/url] [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2288250]Ares Fighter 2[/url] [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1572400]Elemental Angel [/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1917410]Elemental Angel II[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1963120]Elemental Angel III[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1543120]Flying Angel[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1566960]Goddess Of War Ashley[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1901380]Goddess Of War Ashley ?[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1941850]Goddess Of War Essa[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2011520]Goddess Of War Essa II[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2002380]Over City[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1558320]Sky Goddess[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1585580]Sky Goddess II[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2238780]Sky Goddess Remaking[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2239250]Space Fighter[/url] [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2384630]Space Fighter 2[/url] [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1555560]Wind Angel[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1951070]Wind Angel Challenge[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1578980]Wind Angel II[/url]" [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1929910]Wind Angel III[/url]" [/list] We can only wonder if the developer here is another alt account for XF Game/Small Game Studio etc. The game is exactly the same and this "developer" has done nothing but asset flips. There's no evidence to support that, yet. But they always get greedy and lazy and slip up. gtgame have a known history of trying to scam people into paying them money for someone else's work, through this account or through closely linked/alt accounts. An example of gtgame doing this is [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2291220]Hill Climb[/url], which is really "[url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/packs/2d-racing-game-2023-76989]2D Racing Game 2023[/url]", written by the actual developers, ALIyerEdon. Also, [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2385850]Jackpot[/url], which is really "[url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/packs/mk-antique-casino-bundle-207959]MK Antique Casino Bundle[/url]", developed by Master Key. Taking this shovelware seriously as if it was a genuine attempt to make a game, it doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. A choice was made to use obsolete, decades old retro pixel "art" as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics. It's unclear if this is due to lack of budget or talent, regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is extremely low as a result. There's no options to change the resolution for the game or customise the graphics settings. There's no way for gamers to ensure this is running at the native resolution of their displays... there's no guarantee this game will look right on any PC as a result of this hamfisted design decision. There's no way for gamers to try improve the low quality graphics. The controls can't be customised, which will be an annoyance for many, but it can also render the game unplayable for differently-abled gamers. These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game. The poor quality of this game is reflected by how many people spent time with it. At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the all-time peak player number was only 2 players. This is a remarkably low number, and now, the only player activity occurs once or twice a month, presumably someone loading it up to see what it is then quickly uninstalling it. Considering there's over 120 million gamers on Steam and well over 50,000 games for gamers to choose from (over 9,000 completely free titles), the overwhelming lack of interest in this low quality game is to be expected. Unethically, the developer sold keys to this abandoned Early Access game into cheap, nasty game bundles, where they knew it would be advertised and sold as a complete PC game. This seems to have been done in an attempt to mislead gamers into buying a knowingly faulty, defective and incomplete product. When a developer does this for a game they have zero practical intention of completing, this is essentially a scam, an intention to get paid for a broken/unfinished product. Often this is done as an exit strategy, as the developer takes the money and runs. No refunds have been given, the developer kept all the money they took from gamers. Agni Fighter has the farcical price of around $5 USD, it's not worth it given the defects and shortcomings with the product, especially considering the unethical nature of the developer. Remember that if you buy a game from an unethical developer, you're putting your money at risk. [b][quote][url=https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/marketing/profile]Profile Features Limited![/url][/quote][/b] Valve have marked this game as "Profile Features Limited" at the time of this review. This is usually caused by poor sales figures and low community acceptance for the game (to date). Until this status changes, this game will not give you +1 to your Game Collector badge count, appear in profile achievements or any other Steam meta-accomplishments, nor can it be displayed in some profile showcases. If these factors are important to you, it may be worth holding off before buying this game.
