Between the Stars

a good indie game, just dont expect too much. few parts were funny.

Space movement controls are ok, not perfect but works. Combat is very dull and not well balanced, once the shields are gone ships last a few seconds, yours included. Accuracy of the starting weapons is so low and the energy consumption so high that you cant shoot from afar since you will miss most hits and overheat the weapons in 5 secs. Basically you run to the enemy face and shoot a few volleys to kill them, if you dont want to miss a lot. Most ships die with a few seconds of sustained fire. Repairs are scarce and very expensive, as in 1k creds for one heal, almost the same cost of a weapon array for example. The defensive systems include some sort of point defenses that are more like a visual display to make the combat more spectacular than anything useful to fight anything. Apart of destroying missiles and mines, they do fart level damage and have very limited ranges. No way to heal you outside stations except using those expensive consumable heals, in 6 hours i got about 3 of them as drops. If you could craft some would be nice but you dont have the plans to build it and the costs of everything in this game are retardedly high. You cant manufacture anything wihout disassenbling stuff first to get parts, and it also costs hard to get money on top of the high material cost. The campaign also increases a lot in difficulty as you progress and some missions are literally impossible to do without extensive farming and getting better ships and weapons. You get sent to fight super ships or ridiculously big enemy groups with your ship, 2 mercs you can hire (that come with no weapons when you hire them, really mercs with NO weapons and you have to equip them) and maybe if you are lucky 2-3 underpowered ally cruisers thaty will shoot a bit and get destroyed like paper planes. Sometimes my allies wont shoot their weapons, its super helpful to have a big chunk of iron body blocking you and not doing anything useful. A message telling me dont do this yet because your level is low and your ship is crappy would be nice instead of dying 10 times before realizing you cant win with your current setup and need to farm lots to get a decent setup to tackle the main quest. Cant adjust the camera distance, the game decides the distance based on your speed. Its hard to know if a ship is in front of you or on top of you with this camera system. Needs some work, cant recommend this. Its not a total failure but can be improved in many ways, and some stuff needs to be fixed completely 5/10

The game controls horrible. The way you have to steer your ship just feels wrong and there has been put no effort in at all as to how you control the weapons. Along with that, you feel so far away from things. Even in RTS games you feel closer to your units and the action.

Przyjemna polecam.

Liked it a lot, great store scratched an itch, sure combat isn't complicated but a good experience overall

A fun solo space game. i will say i had to adjust a lot of the controls so its a bit wonky till u do that.

Great game so far

Great Storyline. Good combat. So-so voice acting. Recommended.
