Human Extinction Simulator

A pretty interesting game on the concept that lacks a bit of sould and frankly a bit of fun. Well realized though but I would not recommand at this price

A lot of the negative reviews on this game are from people who have played it for 2-3 hours and I can understand why but I think they need to give it a bit more time because it is a real fun strategy game if you can get over the initial hump, which is the 3rd level. It took me a few attempts to beat it and a couple of hours but when I did it was a Eureka moment in terms of how to play. Each ship shoots in a different way and moves in a different way so none are alike in terms of how you should attack with them and certain weapons do damage to shields or hull so you do have to think about placement but once you get your head around the game mechanics it is not that difficult. It does require you to think strategically and plan your actions but it is a strategy game so I'm not sure what people expected. A lot of the reviews have focused on no undo button but again it's a strategy game not a trial and error game! To me, it's kind of like the Sid Meier's Ace Patrol series but if that game had a full squadron of many different airplanes that you would take to the skies. Or a battle isle/Historyline game (for the older gamers!) If you like something that requires you to think about your actions and consequences on a chessboard type arena then you will like this. If that kind of stuff frustrates and you don't have the patience to fail then you will not! The Negative side is that the tutorial missions are a bit week and there is no help guide, which would have really sped up my understanding of how the game mechanics work and how the ships work! So the first few missions require some trial and error in understanding how to play, which will put people off (because of the lack of an undo button) but once you get past that it's a great strategy game. Is it worth £14.99? Depends how much you like strategy games. I bought it on sale and I'm not sure I would have taken a gamble on it given the negative reviews on here. I have really enjoyed playing it so would probably pay full price knowing what I know now! Or chuck it on your wishlist and wait till a sales on!

Human extinction simulator is brutal. It's vision of fixed arc, shortrange weapons and water like movement physics mean much planning and deep tachtical analysis are a bare minimum. unlike every other space sim ever, I think it might actually be easier f it used real vacume, and inertia physics.

Awful space strategy game. On tutorial levels nothing is explained. A ship would be 2 spaces in front of me and I couldn't shoot him for some inexplicable reason, so I just have to fly around next to him and get shot by him. Next attempt he was able to shoot me at an angle from 6 spaces away and I insta-died. Really well made. Apparently it only gets worse with nonsensical mechanics and stupid AI that is cheap and is strictly better than you, forcing you to replay entire missions because they always do perfect thing. Oh and windowed mode doesn't even work right, well done. Hilarious this game is priced at $20 with a game like rocket league, bc its not even worth 10. Thanks for cards I guess. 2/10.

Der Umfang ist für den Preis deutlich zu niedrig...

I think this is one of the best space combat tactical games there is. Great mechanics. Beautiful. A thinking man's game.

There's not enough *there* there to compensate for the ridiculous difficulty level. Scenarios are too slow and too dull and too poorly supported to be worth replaying to try again.
