Astral Shipwright

There are some interesting concepts, but very little to do and very little content. Most of the game is cutscenes of your ship firing thrusters.

Overall it's a fun game it only takes about 5 hours to "beat" it with the current release. The UI is pretty clunky and requires a lot of clicks/button presses for things to happen. I hope there is more in store for this game for the future. Although it isn't in early release it feels like an EA game. If you like ship building and indie games this is worth the 9-10 bucks you'd spend on it. All in all I just wish there was more to do and the game didn't feel so empty.

The games still pretty bare bones at the moment, but it has alot of potential. If you're willing to put up with a buying and selling start and a somewhat clunky U.I that you can get used to, you'll have some fun in this game. Overall, currently, there isn't much in the way of content, nor is there a tutorial, which does kinda suck. But its pretty easy to get a grasp of either way if you've played similar games. TL;DR- very early access, needs time, but the foundation is strong, looking forward for more to come. Developer is also very responsive.

TLDR: Only 3-5 hours of content. Some interesting concepts, but they definitely need to be worked out a lot more. (I'll try to check back every few months or so. Last checked March 2023.) + works on Linux (reasonably stable, a crash or 2 when going to the main screen) + Looks pretty + Orbital mechanics are interesting + UI is pretty consistent now - Gameplay needs more thought The end game of hanging out of a station just continuously refining needs to be discouraged. (Making the main purpose of the refining process to take up less cargo space, seem a possible approach. Like the developer did in their previous game Helium Rain.)

Reviewing this game as something that will never get an update, and was a project of a single person, I feel the need to give it a thumbs up. There is obviously some good ideas here, even if the execution isn't the best.

On joue un camionneur de l'espace en gros. Trois options pour se faire des sous: le commerce entre stations, miner des astéroïdes et manufacturer des minerais en métaux. Les sous servent a débloquer des brevets d'amélioration et à l'achat de ces améliorations. C'est classique mais c'est dans l'espace, jeu très relaxant au final. J'ai eu mon premier million après environ 6 heures de jeu, c'est largement suffisant pour se faire le vaisseau que vous voulez, j'ai considérer ça comme la fin du jeu (plus une bonne heure à customiser mon vaisseau idéal et à comprendre les derniers détails). Concernant la facilité du jeu, je n'ai pas eu trop de problème, c'est vrai qu'il n'y a pas de tutos mais ça reste accessible. Petites astuces: -vous pouvez économiser l'achat d'une coque au début, elles sont purement esthétique -pour manufacturer une tonne de métal, vous aurez besoin d'une tonne de minerai PLUS une tonne de coke (pas celle qu'on se met dans le nez ;), celle nécessaire en métallurgie) -il est possible de trouver une station qui vend de la coke et du minerai et qui vous achètera le produit fini sur place, c'est grosso modo un cheat mode, allez miner que diable (à quoi bon jouer à ce jeu sinon) - si vous arrivez sur un astéroïde qui indique 0% de métaux, orbitez autour de celui ci, le % devrait changer (soyez patient par contre) Je le recommande car il est gratuit mais c'est vrai que payer les 10 euros demandé auparavant pour un jeu au final très vide, ça m'aura fait un peu mal. Gratuit, il permet de passer une après midi et une soirée sympathique.

Very little interactivity. Just some clicks to trade some goods, which variety you can count on your fingers. Slap some parts together, not a lot of them either. Get a mining drill and boom, infinite money. You can slap some more parts together and then... Well you're about done. The dev was disappointed with sales and gave up entirely on the game, so probably nothing will be added. Just some shiny graphics and a minimum of features. Unless floating around in space with nothing to do scratches just the right itch for you, you're better off exploring the "under 5" category for many games that will entertain you more. Felt there was so much raw potential...

一开始只有2500给你组装，所以我不得不不断更改飞船让造价低于2500，结果保存飞船后并不能发射，提示我说要等下一个事件。虽然现在是免费的但是我还是不推荐
