Überraschend guter Spacecombat Shooter mit attraktiver Grafik.

Maybe this shouldn't bother me as much as it does but the dialog, in particular the inner monologue, in this game is horrible. I don't care that there's a female protagonist. When she is thinking to herself she whispers. It is extremely grating to hear someone whisper constantly. And why is she whispering? No one can hear her thoughts. This was handled poorly IMO. A radio beep/squawk/static sound signaling that speech is being spoken between 2 people not just in the cockpit alone would go a LONG way to making this not an issue. As it is, I've only gotten 18 minutes (more now because i tried to play without speech at all) and i just can not stand to listen to this character talk to herself for the rest of the game. I paid $2.50 so i really don't care about returning it. but i won't be continuing and i don't recommend this to anyone that has my particular taste for bad audio. The gameplay did seem fun.

I really liked this game. The ship movement is really satisfying and the dogfights are quite good. I used to play a lot of flight games when I was younger (Xwing Alliance, Tie Fighter, Wings of Glory, Rogue Squadron, etc.) but had been away from the genre for a while, and this game was perfect for getting back behind the stick. Game feel is great here. I did fiddle around with the controls a bit to find something that worked for me, but once I did, it just clicked. I love the "drifting" mechanic that enables a bunch of really satisfying maneuvers that make you feel like a real pilot. You also will get a whole host of other powers that you can use while you're flying and they all feel unique and end up being quite useful during gameplay. The sci-fi fantasy setting is also quite unique and the story was fun and engaging. I like this setting a lot. Don't want to spoil anything here, but in this day and age, it's nice to play a game where you get to fight back against a tyrannical fundamentalist religious cult and send them packing. The game doesn't overstay it's welcome either. I did a fairly thorough playthrough and it took me just under 20 hours. If you ignore a lot of the side content, I wouldn't be surprised if you finished it in half that time. If you're a seasoned flyer, you may or may not find this one a bit on the easy side, but for me it was a perfect dip back into the genre after a few years away. If the trailer seems at all interesting to you, give this one a go.

[h1]TL;DR:[/h1] [u]Not worth it. Even on sale. [/u] [table] [tr] [th]Category[/th] [th]Rating out of 5[/th] [/tr] [tr] [td]Story[/td] [td]1[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Gameplay[/td] [td]1[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Visuals/Audio[/td] [td]3[/td] [/tr] [/table] [h2]The Story:[/h2] Full of cliches lead by an edgy tomboy with secret powers and a dark past that makes her near invincible and [i] super cool[/i]. Plus all of the characters have incredibly weird names. You have a dark side from your previous life that constantly whispers in your ear throughout the gameplay, delivering lines so cheesy that even Wisconsin natives would cringe. A real interaction in combat: "Stop her, do whatever it takes!" [i]whisper[/i] "It'll take more than you." I know that they are going for the "I had a dark past, but have to do the right thing" character arc, but the cliches are overbearing and the attempts to make you agree with the character are so blatant it pushed me in the other direction. It almost seems as though the devs, or writers, sat down to think "what is something so non-controversial that they will have no choice but think she's a good guy now?" They settled on the main character's goal shifting from a cult background to a goal of peace for everyone, everywhere, no questions asked. Objectively, peace is a noble and respectable goal, but do you have to outline it verbally within the first couple of minutes? Let the world be built and show what she came from to establish why she has shifted gears and how that change is so impactful. [h2]The Gameplay:[/h2] Gameplay has some redeeming qualities but also leaves a lot to be desired. The combat does feel fairly polished in the ship as you are able to dodge, use different guns (which are upgradeable via masteries), customize and upgrade abilities in your ship, and change modules to specialize in speed, attack damage, etc. I won't mention the cheesy one-liners that make their way into combat again after this, but know that when you do something that you think was a bit cool, Nara's whispering cult voice will ruin the fun for you. On the negative side: [list] [*]The map is difficult to navigate, moves too quickly, and cannot be zoomed out enough. [*]Combat itself can be frustrating as ships fly in circles around you causing you to have to do loops over and over until they are in your line of sight to hit. [*]Objectives range from fetch quests, escort missions, eliminate 1-3 enemies to progress, and races with elementary school trash talk. Need I say more? [*]The game requires you to constantly use a scan-like ability to find loot, objectives, and side missions. The issue is, you are constantly going to be spamming the scan button to find anything of worth. Furthermore, they couldn't just leave it at that. They made it so that your scan has 3 uses, with a cooldown, and the requirement to hold the scan button to "charge" your second scan which is described as a gift from your previous cult life in order to look further or locate the side mission objectives. Sometimes, you will charge a scan, find what appears to be a hidden objective or new mission, fly to it, just for it to disappear and not be interactable. [*]The ship feels slow as dirt, even upgraded. Adding a distance tracker to objectives that moves quickly does not make your ship feel like it is moving quickly. [*]The camera needs serious work. Everything feels way too close to the screen. [/list] [h2]The Visuals and Sound:[/h2] Visually, the game looks good, not great. The ships are detailed but when you start to look closely, the sharp corners of metal appear smooth and blended together. The large settlement's/stations do look pretty good with neon and metal providing an almost cyberpunk aesthetic but with a brighter twist. The audio, writing aside, is the strongest aspect of this game. Ships, lasers, voices, all sound crisp and clear. The lasers, guns and flight itself sound like you would expect without breaking immersion. [h2]Overall:[/h2] I cannot recommend this game, even during its frequent sales for 90% off ($2.49, seen 7 times as of writing). The audio and ship upgradeability do not outweigh the serious shortcomings of every other aspect this game has to offer. I purchased this game to give it a shot, and wanted to find a hidden gem, but unfortunately kept finding dirt no matter how deep I have been digging. [h1]Rating:[/h1] 1.5/5 [spoiler] [i]whispers:[/i] "save your money"[/spoiler]
