About
❕ Starship Saboteur Prototype is a short free prototype made by Catland. We are not developing a full game out of it, but you can enjoy one level with estimated 30 minutes of playtime and replayability in this short but sweet prototype!
Starship Saboteur Prototype is a topdown action game prototype which you can play lethally or in full stealth. Shoot or sneak your way through a starship filled with enemy patrols, things to sabotage and captains to hurl out of windows into the cold depth of space.
In Starship Saboteur Prototype, you sneak onto spaceships and break everything to stop an intergalactic war between three factions. This level is set aboard the Magellan, a huge Celestial Collective starship. Try out multiple playstyles, including knocking out the captain nonlethally or breaking into the armory to cause carnage. You can even cause an enemy invasion to the ship if you disable the shields and let the enemy faction take out the objectives for you!
Starship Saboteur Prototype was made in just 16 weeks. It contains a single level of the game with both stealth and run'n'gun playstyles. Combining action, stealth and twin stick shooting, the prototype of Starship Saboteur is our experiment on whether you can get RPG-like choices and consequences in a topdown game. While we chose not to pursue its development further, leave a comment in our forums with your ideas and how you liked the experience.

[h1] Premise for some good top down shooter set in space. Get on spaceships, loot them, scavenge them or sabotage them. You can go stealthly or aggressive by shooting everything in your sight. Controls are ok and smooth, no complain here. Current prototype have only one mission. Most annoying thing - couldn't see enemies standing in door frames as they hinder the view. There're some bugs here and there obviously. If you're looking for something similar but far superior play Heat Signature. [/h1]

Nice prototype... worth playing. Some things I would change, tho: 1 - The models keep squirming after you killed them, even after you try to hide them inside a box 2 - I would make the pistol sound also noticeable to those who are close Overall, there's a lot of potential ;), imho

Bu kısa oyun prototipinde, düşman devriyeleriyle, sabote edilecek şeylerle ve pencerelerden uzayın soğuk derinliklerine fırlatılacak kaptanlarla dolu bir yıldız gemisine ateş edin veya gizlice ilerleyin!
It's an okay game. Nothing super special. Controls need a little work. It's still in prototype though. If you like topdown shooters, you might really enjoy it
To me it's like a reverse version of FTL but your the invader :) i had a ton of fun with this and i recommend a try. My favorite thing was dragging bodies to the airlock and ejecting them.

Promising premise. Needs polish and further development of the mechanics and gameplay.
"Starship Saboteur Prototype" is a pointless waste of time... it's a tech demo/vertical slice of a game that's never going to be made, dumped on Steam by a failed development team for no discernable reason apart from to pollute up the place with incomplete game demos for games that don't exist. Why is this good for gamers? It's not. What do you do in the game? This is a badly made, janky and bug riddled top down shooter, so what you do is go from room to room shooting stuff... basically this is the front end only of an attempt to make an Alien Breed ripoff, only worse in all respects. Did Steam need a weak, incomplete ripoff of Alien Breed? Of course not, especially when, you know, you could just play Alien Breed. The game is quite short, and can be run through in just 30 minutes. The lack of content here makes it hard to suggest it's worth spending the time to add to your library and download. The game is really simple and unambitious in terms of implementation, more of a tech demo or one of those cases where an amateur developer spends $100 to publish something on Steam Direct to see if it's possible. Yes, obviously it's possible. A proof of concept, tech demo, or something that's less than a little blip on the radar isn't offering anything truly valuable to gamers. The graphics aren't great, low quality, low poly-ish looking cartoony assets. That's understandably a turn off for a lot of gamers, and it's a big contributor to the failure of the game to attract gamers despite having no up-front cost. Gaming is a primarily visual medium, and if developers want to succeed, they must understand that it's not an area for compromise. You deserve better than compromises. This game is fairly dated at 5 years old... and even back then it looked old and busted compared to contemporary, professionally made 3D games of the same period. It looked bad then, it looks worse now. Now on to pricing and value for gamers. This is "free" enough (not every "free" game in the "free" section is truly free, there's usually some hidden price tag), at least you won't be expected to spend any more money after you download this, but just because something is free doesn't mean it's good, and the cost of a game is more than just financial, your time is valuable too. In terms of public reception, this failed. There's over 130 million unique gamers visiting Steam every month. SteamDB showed the game peaked at [b]only 4 concurrent players[/b]... 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? What's the verdict? 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.
Игра 'Starship Saboteur Prototype' захватывает с первых минут своим напряженным асимметричным геймплеем. Идея с противостоянием команды инженеров, пытающихся спасти корабль, и одного саботажника, стремящегося к его уничтожению, реализована на отлично. Инженерам нужно быть внимательными и координировать свои действия, чтобы чинить системы и выявлять предателя, а саботажнику – хитростью и обманом сеять хаос и саботировать ремонт. Несмотря на то, что это всего лишь прототип, игра демонстрирует большой потенциал. Уже сейчас чувствуется азарт и желание перехитрить противников. Визуальный стиль минималистичен, но функционален, хорошо передает атмосферу замкнутого космического корабля. Конечно, в прототипе есть над чем работать: хотелось бы больше систем для ремонта, больше возможностей для саботажа и улучшенного пользовательского интерфейса. Тем не менее, даже в текущем виде игра цепляет своей уникальной концепцией и динамичным геймплеем. Очень жду финального релиза, уверен, что 'Starship Saboteur' может стать отличной игрой для компании друзей, любящих социальную дедукцию и напряженные стратегии. Рекомендую попробовать, если ищете необычный опыт.
