I love the mechanics of the game. You do feel submersed in a space mining operation. Upgrading your tools and bots is a challenge, where you are tracking the best spots to harvest, for the upgrade materials you need. There is side missions or accomplishments you can attain for an extra cash reward, moving you through the evolution process of your mining and resourcing skills/ tools. The game is in early release so do not complain- report bugs and ideas and as all good devs do~ They will work on better ways to level out the content. This game is amazing thus far!
[h2] Un jeu agréable, mais qui tourne vite en rond [/h2] Astronomics n'est pas un mauvais jeu, loin de là, et ne mérite certainement pas un pouce vers le bas. Mais après avoir lu plusieurs critiques dithyrambiques, j'ai envie de tempérer un peu l'enthousiasme ambiant. L'interface est soignée et les graphismes sont agréables ; on prend plaisir à naviguer dans le jeu au premier abord. Le problème, c'est que ce plaisir s'estompe vite : la boucle de jeu devient rapidement répétitive, et on tourne en rond sans réel renouvellement. Où est le challenge ? Passé les deux premières heures, je n'ai rien vu qui vienne vraiment complexifier ou relancer l'expérience. Miner, vendre les ressources, booster son matériel pour pouvoir miner encore plus, etc. Bof, à moins que dans le développement futur n'apparaissent de nouveaux axes [i](aventure, automatisation, cours des minerais qui fluctuent par exemple) [/i]. En résumé : [b] jeu correct dans sa forme, mais qui manque cruellement de profondeur pour tenir la distance. Il y a apparemment un public pour ce genre, mais franchement, c'est pas ma came ! [/b]
just fun i like the graphics i love it
Amazing but extremely niche game. You either love it or hate it
Early access, so quirks and issues do exist, but it's a nice, calm progression, with only the occasional irritatingly rare material.
I'm enjoying it very much. I love mining and I love space. I got it on sale but it's worth full price and I'm looking forward to the roadmap. Since the game is in early access, there are some quality of life features missing, which is fine because it's nothing major. It's just grindy enough to not be a drag and the progression feels balanced. Overall I'm very happy I picked this up.
Fun little game. Not particularly challenging, but a fun way to spend some time. It has come a LONG way in the last year. Pros: - the gameplay loop is simple, but enjoyable. - the upgrades are paced really well so you feel like you're progressing and able to do things more efficiently. - the devs are responsive and putting out updates consistently -runs smoothly - i'm excited to play future updates Cons (and these are mostly just things I wish were different about the game) - bugs (nothing game breaking or soft locking, but they exist) - the procedural generation can be annoying. You might go to say 15 asteroids, that have 3 primary resources, and one of the resources is never the main one. - not having a static resource container at the space stations is a bit irritating, especially when you have to have a lot of base materials to combine into other components. If you enjoy resource gathering, exploration, problem solving, pathing, this is definitely worth a play through.
I always wanted to play a roguelite base/supply chain builder and this kind of scratches the itch perfectly, without the core loop getting overly complicated. I played this before the monorail update, guess its time to start a brand new game and see how fast i can reach my previous state of upgrades.
Fantastic resource management, mining and lite puzzle game. From navigating to the asteroid, commening mining operations, transporting cargo asteroid side to the freighter and packing up within the alotted timeframe the player is engaged through the gameplay loop. Upgrades are meaningful with genuine improvements offered to the player better enabling them to maximise their time and efficiency. Timelimits are within the players control, combat whilst wonky does break up the core loop enough to be a worth-while addition hopefully with further refining and enhancements. I woudl say this is a play and feel for yourself game, the videos and reviews I watched didn't really sell it but when I tried it, well I only bought it today and my hours played justify my stance that this is a great game early access and all.
Ta gra ma niesamowity klimat, zwłaszcza na początku gdy jedyne co masz to twój statek i robot i tak masz wydobywać asteroidy. Aktualizacje są częste i dodają mnóstwo świeżości od nowych stacji, budynków, ulepszeń robota do nowych akcesoriów , a wszystko po to aby pomóc ci w wydobyciu. Warta swojej ceny.
