"Project: Ternion" is an abandoned Early Access PvP arena shooter, and the interesting question about this game is... who abandoned it fastest, the devs or the tiny handful of players who bothered? It's unclear, but the developers didn't update this since they dumped it on Steam in an unfinished state.
There's literally thousands of PvP shooters on Steam. Slapping another one on, with no single player content, in Early Access, is just wasting everyone's time. Developers should probably take a look at the competition before they waste effort and time throwing something that's ultimately valueless onto Steam... if they did this they might find a way to differentiate to create a competitive product. Have they tried content? Oh no wait, that's too hard. Other players are the same thing as content, right?
You can see the lack of forethought is why Steam is so full of these dead, playerless, valueless PvP games.
The graphics in this game are passable, but could be better. And while it's vital for any game to have impressive visuals (gaming is a visual medium, after all), there's more to a game than just the graphics. To be worth a gamers time, the game must match top tier visuals with top tier gameplay, and that's not happening here.
Not every "free" game really is. There's often MTX, or content locked behind DLC, or donations being requested, or any other number of things that could mislead gamers, but in this case I'm glad to say this really does appear to be a fully free game.
Nothing demonstrates a developers belief in themselves and their work than giving it away without any remuneration. This is a service to themselves, and the gaming industry, and should be applauded. Of course, just because something is free, doesn't necessarily mean it's valuable.
Even though this is "free", it failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the game peaked at only 4 concurrent players... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad they couldn't even give it away.
Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it?
Not this time. This isn't worth downloading. While this won't cost you any money, you get what you pay for, and sometimes, even when the game is free, it's still not enough.
