Asteroid Odyssey

The upgrades in this game scale way too quickly. Gameplay becomes pretty passive. I got bored of my last run after about 30 min, the last 15 didn't really require much input.

in my normal run, I got to stage 9-10 completely decked out and had to wait for the game to finish by reaching stage 16. I was killing asteroids and enemies while they were still offscreen. There was nothing else for me to do but just wait for more than an hour. in my second you start with no ressources, just your core. you need to be lucky to get crates to drop refined ore to build your research. The first crate gave me green ore that I could not use. The second crate gave me only enough to research the refinery, but not enough to build one. Then I died because my basic 1 damage from my cursor was not enough to defend agains all the asteroids. Then I decided I had enough.

Doesn't feel like a complete game. At about stage 8 it seemed like I didn't even need to upgrade anymore. All the enemies died off screen. Laser Beams kill everything as soon as they spawn. 45 minutes for a run and maybe played 15 minutes. Turned the sound off as even at 5% the game was frying my speakers. Cutting in and out. Very loud game. The cold start "difficulty" is 100% RNG.

default start is a bit challenging but after a minute or two it is completely boring cold start is just badly designed, if at all. crates dropping the second curreny which is not usable. another type of crates exists which rewards nothing. you will almost constantly enter stage 2 and face the first enemy without having a single research or a single module build

I wouldn't recommend the game as is, it deffo needs some later game upgrades and balancing options, it'd be cool if more enemy ships came later on or bosses etc, but after a little bit you are so powerful its just leave the game open until completed. Its a good shell of a game just a little hollow at the moment and therefore would advise waiting for a content update before buying. I'll revisit this review if it gets fleshed out.

Fun little game. Needs a bit of optimization in the last few stages when the screen is of full of things.

They rebalanced the game to make it harder. Now its too hard and you are relying on enough boxes to spawn to make it through the start. Game balance needs more work, until then its just frustrating.

It was a fun time playing this game! I've experienced very repetitive and chilling gameplay! Kudos to developers for making this project, it's perfect for watching videos on youtube, while playing this game!

The balance started out kinda bad but the developer has been updating and adjusting things based on feedback and has been improved greatly since launch.
