Space Defender

Hoo boy! My hair's standing out from all the high-gees and I've got a sunburn from all the laser near misses. But I'm a Space Defender - it's what I do. For early access, it's been a fun ride so far. Took a while to learn how things work. While the battles are currently all the same (all the same for a guy just touching the surface), the method you use to set up your ship makes a big difference. You have to carefully balance generators, batteries, weapons and shields to get the most out of it. Buy heavy guns and suddenly realize you are out of power and recharging slower than a Prius. Don't mount a good loadout and the next swarm will overrun you. And here's a hint for the new space cadets: When you buy something new, keep the old item in your hull. Before picking a mission, take the ship out of the dock and fire guns and missiles. Watch the recharge. It's better to find out now than when you are facing wall-to-wall drones. If course, you can always go into inventory and rearrange stuff. Just ignore those explosion noises. The weird thing is that you use mouse for heading, and W,A,S,D for thrust. However, the thrust is not tied to your heading. "W" makes you go up, regardless of facing. After first I found this counter-intuitive. But moments into my first combat, it suddenly clicked for me. I could thrust where I wished and spin around to shoot. None of this "He's on my six! I can't shake him!" No, just spin and fire, like real spaceships would. The developer was quite responsive to my "asks", including adding a restart ability right after I posted. I wanted to give the game another go once I'd worked out some of the tricks. Thanks for that. So a fun game at a great price. A bit of a grinder at this point but hopefully since it's early access we'll get more missions. Looking forward to the ride!

Un petit jeu avec du potentiel, le gameplay est sympa mais un peu répétitif pour l’instant, les graphisme et animations très bons pour un jeu 2D; la musique est entraînante et les effets sonores sympas. Pas d'histoire à suivre pour l'instant mais peu être que cela viendra. A terme j'espère que ce jeu sera un peu comme la série des Starcom (Nexus et Unkown Space). La seule chose qui me dérange ce sont les contrôles non modifiable pour l'instant : ZQSD pour se déplacer dans une direction et la souris pour touner et tirer. Personnellement je préfère Z/S pour augmenter et réduire la vitesse, Q/D pour les déplacements latéraux et la souris pour tourner et tirer. Bref un jeu prometteur qui va se bonifier avec le temps je pense.

excelente jogo de game 2d e so adicionar conteúdo de qualidade de vida. A mecanica de comabte e unica (movimentação da nave) muito promisor

Un jeu très prometteur et déjà addictif avec le contenu actuel. J'espère qu'il y aura un mode histoire pour rompre la monotonie des missions. Le développeur a l'air de suivre les remarques des joueurs de très près, c'est rassurant pour la suite. À ce prix là achetez sans hésiter !
