Starforged Legacy

Legitimately really fun. Hope it's successful and more content (particularly enemies and bosses) are added. Definitely worth the price. Having a minimap would be very helpful for navigation.

I've long been a fan of rogue-likes and sci-fi, so Starforged Legacy had me at "hello." I played the early access version and quite enjoyed it. Each ship felt different and each had four variations. As of this writing, the game is in a very good place. I'd like to see more in the way of music but, honestly, there's not much to add. If you've played similar titles, like The Spell Brigade, you have a good idea what you're in for.

EDIT: The devs already patched out a lot of my criticisms and complaints in my original review! Wow kudos to them! [b] [u] Definitely recommend [/u][/b] this now! [strike]Tentatively recommended now for $8.[/strike] There's actually a lot going for this game that asking $8 is bit of an undersell at this point. That said, I'd recommend waiting for some more tuning by the devs because the balance is pretty rough. Level up upgrades giving a tenth of a second faster reload time is.... oh ... oh so satisfying (not). You're only in each sector a limited amount of time before you're forced to jump, so any level up you get is very important as each sector becomes more challenging. That said, I'm sick of getting the majority of offered level up rewards being these 1/10th of a second reload speed buff or projectile speed buff. Really? The game will swarm you, as we'd expect in a survivors-like bullet-heaven, however it's to a point where it's unfair. You're slow, unless you get 10 of those 0.10 speed upgrades in a row, so you can't outrun the kamikaze ships or the million suicide ships with massive AOE. My CPU and GPU skyrocket to 100% utilization during initial startup and the shader compilation loading screen. I've seen this in other games where FPS isn't capped in the game during this process. But I'm not a dev. Loading between sector jumps can take longer than it should. I was concerned my PC crashed, but given the game isn't graphically demanding I was surprised this was the case. The sector loading time combined with the 100% utilization shader compilation at start up has me worried about how the game may crash or lag in hectic, late-game runs. All that aside, there's a lot of depth in the combat and meta progressions that I think it can be really fun after some balance passes. Right now, at least for me, it's too frustrating to keep trying the game out. I don't find joy in slamming my face against the wall for a couple hours to stack up meta upgrades to offset the poor level up cards you get during a run. I really like these space focused bullet heaven survivor games, so I look forward to coming back and seeing the progress the game has taken.

Best Bulletstorm in Space so far!!!

muito bom

I realize this game is early access, however, this is SO poorly designed (its not even an optimization problem) that even with the frame rate set to 30 fps, everything set to low, my gpu is pinned at 90C (its a watercooled xt6900 never have this issue with games like crimson desert or even star citizen). The idea is pretty neat but the graphics need a major rethink before this is playable without thermal throttling.

This game has some real potential, but also some real jank. Music is repetitive and droning, enemies are one note at best - basically just follow you around. Sound effects could also just genrally use a pass, plus eventually some kind of loose narative would be helpful for whyever we have to fight vice dread admiral peet or whatever. But the ship design is good, weapons are rather fun, and it fills a huge niche that was missing with the big chonky capital ship design. I want to FLY one of those, or even better BUILD one. Grab it on sale and hope the project keeps going. It'll need more investment, but there's something neat here.

Fun game, Lots of progression, its starts off simple, and feels initially a bit underwhelming (although fun). However after a couple of games, and see how the progression opens up, it definitely starts to pull you in. Its nice there's different set ups for the ships, rather than just the ships alone. Worth the price.

I like space ships.

Obwohl ein kleiner interessanter SCI FI Autobattler, langweilt es mich nur noch zu tiefst wenn etwas Rougelike ist... Ich ertrage es schlichtweg nicht mehr 100 mal von vorne zu beginnen nur um ein klein wenig mehr frei zu schalten. Was ich nämlich freischalte, wiegt den Zeit und Spass Aufwand einfach nicht auf... Weiters sind die Schiffe total unbalanced und vor allem auch die loadouts die man zu den Schiffen frei schalten kann. Sprich beginnt man mit dem falschen Schiff oder loadout, kann man sich sicher sein, dass man sogar auf normal wahrscheinlich scheitern wird.
