第一人称的射击游戏 大炮打飞机,真的烂
[h1]SHORT REVIEW[/h1] NanoScape is a retro shoot 'em up from SnowFlame, developers of the Turbo Pug games. It was apparently released just over a year ago and seems to have no valid user reviews on Steam, which says something I guess. I'm only going to give it a short review, I'm sorry to say. The game has no story, which I suppose is fine, but you know, a little bit of effort wouldn't have gone astray: "You're a juiced-up pilot out to save the world from neon-loving drones" or something. Oh well. It's a wave-based shooter, but your movement is restricted to one dimension: all you can do is move left or right. There's no controller support, but there is simultaneous keyboard and mouse support. I'd recommend sticking with one or the other, since trying to move with the keyboard while aiming with the mouse can result in a weird juddering mess. Controls are pretty horrible, often leading to your demise. Each wave a group of enemies appears in front of you and shoots, mostly straight ahead, but sometimes in weird directions to catch you off guard. You can only shoot forward, so you move in front of an enemy, let off a few shots of your abysmal-sounding 'pew-pew' guns, and, move on to the next one before your chosen victim's return fire takes you out. There seems to be a shield mechanic of some sort, but it doesn't make sense to me. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. There also seems to be a sort of hitpoint mechanic, but there are plenty of one-hit kills, too, so I'm not sure it's that important. Key to any modern shooter is the variety of weapons available, and NanoScape doesn't rate well here. There are a few powerups, but most are as inefficient and unimpressive as your starting guns. There are also some rarer powerups that I don't understand; one seems to be another sort of shield, but again it only works some of the time. Gameplay is thus very repetitive and bored me to quitting after less than half an hour. In this time I picked up 85% (11 of 13) of the achievements. I believe the other two are based on being lucky enough to pick up certain powerups and use them. Graphics are not awful, but the background doesn't seem to change at all and weapon fire is not the best. Sound effects are awful, however, though the music is surprisingly good, if you don't mind "brutal electro-dubstep" (and after playing this I must say I actually don't!). I might have to keep an eye out for the soundtrack DLC on special! It's a bit buggy, too. At one point my shots started going off centre from the screen, making it very difficult to aim, and a couple of times my targets became invisible. These problems fixed themselves when I died and restarted. For some reason after my first couple of games I never saw level 1 again, with ever restart starting me on level 2. This may be a bug or may be intentional. [h1]PROS AND CONS[/h1] Pros: + Surprisingly good soundtrack + Achievements Cons: - Poor controls - Boring powerups - Repetitive - Leaderboards are offline [h1]CONCLUSION[/h1] I can't really recommend NanoScape to anybody as a game to actually play, though achievement hunters might like it. The soundtrack might be worth searching out, too!
Does not work in Windows 10+, I had to play it in my Steam Deck. Game is a space themed shoot them up, there are tons of these and this game differentiates itself by being first person. It is an interesting concept but controls pretty much consist on left/right only and the shooting and the camera always facing forward, while enemies may also come from behind. Not well thought out. Mediocre gameplay and only playable in select OS is a fail in my books. 3/10

i personally have to say that this is the best game i have ever played. its very great, you'll love it.
disappointing
My brother gave me this game, it is a discounted version of oldschool runescape. No grand exchange, no doubling money, no weekly updates. You can't even hack people in this game. In addition it has worse graphics than oldschool runescape even though it was made quite recently. The music is garbage and sounds like something I could make with my microwave oven. And the gameplay was not interesting to catch the players eye.
anoScape is a shallow 3D rendered 2D arcade style shoot 'em up/bullet hell game with a twist, you see your ship from behind rather than, you know, a playable, usable viewpoint. You don't have any camera controls behind moving the ship left or right with the mouse (which makes the screen tilt, I guess that's an "ok" effect and maybe the only "fun" thing the game has going for it... which is not a good sign at all). Being able to view your ship only from behind with no other camera controls makes it difficult to see enemies and incoming bullets, and just makes the game frustrating and annoying, should anyone try to play it seriously (spoiler: Almost nobody has). From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. The game features lazy low-polygon "retro" assets, making this look like a barely functional 3D game from the 1990s. It's unclear why the developers weren't able to arrange high quality, high polygon count contemporary assets for the game, and also irrelevant... what matters is that this looks bad as a result of their decisions, a compromise PC gamers shouldn't have to put up with. The controls can't be customised, which will be an annoyance for many, but it can also render the game unplayable for differently-abled gamers. These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game. The poor quality of this game is reflected by how many people spent time with it. At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the all-time peak player number was only 3 players. This is a remarkably low number, and now, the only player activity occurs once or twice a month, presumably someone loading it up to see what it is then quickly uninstalling it. Considering there's over 120 million gamers on Steam and well over 50,000 games for gamers to choose from (over 9,000 completely free titles), the overwhelming lack of interest in this low quality game is to be expected. NanoScape is relatively cheap at $1 USD, but it's not worth it. Given the defects and quality issues with the game, coupled with the unrealistic price, this is impossible to recommend.
i dont like it boring gameplay and graphics
