Initial thoughts: This game is really cool, wish I could use my joystick with it, but a controller works well. The game has a lovely intensity to it.
An indie space combat game that has some of the space combat I have ever experienced. From the sound design, to the teammate call outs, to the flight. It was just under 2 hours long, but I have more endings to get and I am definitely going to
it is a solid 8/10 game but very short and can be a tad bit repetitive. You pilot a small fighter against many other spaceships. You gain more ships that you can give orders to but cannot pilot.
Es un juego de combate espacial como los de antes. Es realmente entretenido y hay un modo de desafío en el que puedes probar cuantas rondas puedes aguantar con tu armada. Uno de los problemas del juego es que hay algunos beneficios que, para algunos vehículos es mucho mejor que otros. Por ejemplo, el escudo de energía.
I don't think I have the right kinda Autism for this game.
The game has some challenging moments, but the audio is quite nice too. Personally I'd change the engine hum slightly noise wise and raise some of the cockpit/armament sounds if I could for a more visceral experience. Still a game that sticks in the back of my mind to this day. Starting my second playthrough after some time!
Gem of an indie game. Hands down one of my top favorites in my library. Love replaying it from time to time. Best way to describe it is like Ace Combat meets Sci-fi spaceships. Might not be something you can get into quickly but play for a bit longer, you might start to enjoy it more.
SARDAUKARRR!!!
Amazing space shooter on Steam Deck!
Déjà, point positif, le jeu se lance bien en VR. Par contre, je me retrouve obligé de jouer à la manette, c'est ridicule. Aller hop, poubelle.
