Space Trench

Cute little game, surprisingly tense. Found a bug and the dev fixed it within a day.

so I dont tend to do this, but Ive seen opportunity. And now just looking, I neglected to look at release date. This doesnt say anything about early access, but it certainly is. I say that because I bought a very...bare game. however the developer just dropped a seemly decent update. Im placing this review on an absolutely fresh perspective, it has opportunity and is fleshing out. im posting this so people dont feel misled, this is a work in progress. ill stick it out and see what the dev does with it. im hoping for more, and im willing to absolutely willing to talk back anything that improves.

I like the atmosphere; the ships feel grimy and claustrophobic. Getting lost on some of the larger maps is just as dangerous as the aliens. Speaking of the aliens, they seem easy at first, but things can go south quickly. They flank you, you run out of bullets, etc. I've been enjoying the new update and am excited for the game's future!

It was more fun than I expected. It's a little slow in the beginning of the first map but for the price of a cup of coffee, I had a good time. I also really liked the main menu art. It's obviously a low budget game but that is fine. Also the flashlight was way stronger than I expected. I was thinking it was going to be one of those horror game flashlights where you can't see anything but no, it's a perfectly working flashlight and that is great. It also has an endless mode for those that want to break the game and push it to it's limits.

As mentioned by another review, this is very similar to the scrap mode in RE7's dlc. It scratches a super specific itch and I hope the dev continues to put out updates, I love this kind of thing. For some reason the game sometimes stutters for me though.

Fun little game, and given the price it's certainly worth a try. The progression model is pretty nice, the guns feel good, and even with the simplified graphics style it can be pretty creepy to see the enemies lumbering/diving towards you from the darkness. I've never left a review before, but I want this game to get some more attention so I figured another positive opinion wouldn't hurt.
