Hyperspace Dogfights

Been playing this for years, but only recently on Steam. Revisiting again and buying it properly this time (sorry!) Stefan, you make an intriguing glimpse at larger lore in all of your games, they are mechanically engaging, generally balanced, with the right amount of challenge and incentive to make it harder on ourselves as we're ready to. Arcade-esque roguelike gameplay in a high-sci-fi setting. Scratches the itch for me <3

推荐又不推荐的样子，一般？反正可以试试 不支持所有手柄 键鼠操控可以按T切换成FPS也不提 明明可以写出来的 不过看起来也不会再更新了

At first I wasn't sure if this game was worth it but after trying it I slowly got more and more addicted because of all the cool upgrades/weapons you can use. The visuals are very cool too! As a science fiction enthusiast, I rate this game 10/10.

i love this this for how immersive it can be. I come here in my quietude to live the mech-jet pilot in the endless space war. also, if you have one on hand, maybe try switching out the WASD keyboard controls with an arcade stick. It feels very responsive/ adds another dimension/ another way to play. :> RECOMMENDED: SOLAR JETMAN (1990)

To not distract the developer from making games, the positive review has been removed

this hard to learn harder to master game is so satisfying to win. with many, many unlocks you will have more then enough to do, as long as you're good enough :3 Genuinely good game with so much fun gameplay

One of the best roguelikes I have ever played. The visuals are beautiful and the combat is fluid and satisfying.

I'm older, I've never been into overly twitchy/fast-paced games, and "bullet hell" is always a turnoff for me. I've always liked more medium-paced, physics-based games. If you're like me, hold up a sec and check this out. Hyperspace Dogfights is a fantastic game, like a more physics-based, Finnish-style cave-flyer Time Pilot.* — DETAILED GAME SUMMARY (Skip if you just want the bottom line) — The main gameplay loop is flying around a super-fighter with some sort of randomized weapon loadout, fighting never-ending waves of enemy fighters, bombers, gunships, tanks, boats, AA gun emplacements, etc. Each enemy killed gives you credits you can spend on upgrades. In each level, you have a definite mission to complete, and once it's completed you can either leave right away, or stick around to blow more enemies up to earn more credits. The difficulty in each level grows over time, so the reward/risk ratio increases. There's always a pull to stick around to earn enough points to stay ahead of the curve. Once you've completed a level, you go to an intermission screen where a (usually unrevealed) upgrade is offered for a certain amount of points -- a different gun you can switch back and forth between, a passive upgrade, a special weapon, etc.. Once you're ready, you start the next mission. The missions are randomized, roguelike, and there's some interesting variety in them. In-game, you have a shield that decreases when you take damage, but regenerates when you're not firing. If you're hit while your shield is down, you lose half a "heart". You have 3 hearts, which amounts to the ability to take 6 hits before game over. Hearts sometimes drop randomly to repair your ship, and sometimes you can buy them with credits. Some upgrades increase your maximum hearts. — BOTTOM LINE — It's a great "zoning" game with a lot of roguelite-style variation that feels like it never plays the same twice. UI is a little unconventional, which, as far as I'm concerned, is always negative, but it's at least self-explanatory, simple, and works. Really great game that's just some good, more cerebral arcade-shooter fun that has a good pace for people who aren't into the complete twitch-style bullet hell stuff, which I'm not. I'd say it's a medium-speed roguelite arcade shooter that is fast enough to challenge without overwhelming, and slow enough to enjoy and watch the boomies. A favorite of mine that stays on the HDD for when the mood strikes me. Highly, highly recommended. — WHAT THE HELL IS A CAVE FLYER — * Cave-flyers are a distinctly Finnish genre of game that arose out in the indie game development scene in the 1990s, inspired by the old Thrust-style arcade games and the Worms games like Liero. They primarily featured side-view 2D flight combat in relatively restricted environments, often with destructible environments and multiplayer play. Wings, Auts, and Triplane Turmoil are examples. * Time Pilot was a series of two arcade games from the 1980s that featured a hyper-futuristic plane fighting in aerial combat against waves of fighter planes, bombers, and flying fortresses, played in top-down 2D. The primary thing that set it aside is that movement was free in any direction, unlike your average scrolling arcade shooter.
