ThreadSpace: Hyperbol

It would be nice if there were people to play it against. If you buy it, coerce your friends to do the same. Honestly, most of the negative reviews are about how there aren't really players at all times - it's kinda unfair against the game. BY THE WAY: If you are reading this, there is a chance that I'm still giving out free copies of this game. Check on the forums (discussion board) for the thread with the details.

Hyperbol is a truly awesome unique game. It has a tutorial which you can play in offline mode or you can join players online. Support 10/10 This game is still actively supported by the developer. I got a response in a very short time on their discussion forums. Graphics 8/10 Graphics are unique and interesting. Sounds and Music 9/10 Sounds and graphics are near perfect for its genre. Gameplay 9/10 Gameplay is awesome. Always something interesting and it is enough that you will be enjoying it for months to come. Fun 9/10 Have a lot of spare time because it is fun and somewhat addicting. Price: I have over 750 hours online with this game so I have to say that the price is definintely good for the amount of fun that you will be getting out of the game. Bugs and Execution: Occassionally server connection time outs but the game it self has no bugs and runs flawlessly on XP , and windows 7. (I have not tested it on windows 8 or 8.1) Overall : This game is awesome and worth the price. Take the tutorial and practice a little in offline mode before jumping into action with real players.

[h1] Strategy based arena battler where you control spaceship. You can select from a few different types each with different stats. During gameplay you can build and choose from multitude of weapons. Movement is done by selecting your destination after that your spaceship cannot move until it restores energy. You can fire weapons anytime though. Gameplay might feel a bit confusing at first, big amount of weapons with complex description. Two different modes to choose from deatchmatch and objectives, where you're assigned with various missions like defend control station. You can transform your ship into rail, guard, repair or caliber form each giving you different bonus stats. You can change velocity and trajectory of your projectiles so they can fly behind corners. Music is decent. Visually looks ok, however space setting is not that great. Very specific game, with complex gameplay. Can't recommend it though unless you're a fan of strategy games with action elements and pvp fighting model. [/h1]

I was an early supporter of this game and paid a thick price, but its community died pretty quickly. There's no real single player content here, and the AI is pretty bad. It's sad, because it's a very original game, well made, has a great soundtrack, and the online play was perfect. Think tanks in space, on a huge air hockey table. That might get you halfway to a proper idea of what the game is about. If you could get some friends to play with you online or over LAN, you'll have fun. Otherwise, unfortunately, pass.

I havn't played this game to it's full extent yet but even though I was only able to play skirmish mode (due to lack of players being online), I still love this game. I wish I played it back in it's heydey because the concept behind this is awesome. Multiple players on the same team are able to have different vehicles. Each vehicle has a moving/shooting/guarding sort of system. You can upgrade these systems accordingly right at the beginning or throughout the game. Careful though, when you do die you do have to upgrade your system again. Right click enables the aim, left click shoots, and space engages the weapon/defense at your will. You can move as you shoot, however moving is done in increments and there is a "slow refill gas" gauge indicating after moving that a certain amount of time is needed to recover and move again. Shooting is made easier by pressing the number 1 to scroll quicker through the weapons. If this game is on sale BUY IT! This is a game I'd hate to see be called a graveyard as it isn't because there is a lot here. PM me if you have this game and want to play!

This is how "abilities" should work in a game, none of this lock on insta hit spam spells or +12 damage aura garbage. Every skill has to aimed or placed in position, creating many tactical possiblities. Plenty of weapons/defenses with upgrades, if someone just spams hyberbols at you there are plenty of ways to bounce them back into thier face. Best space tank game ever made. But you shouldn't buy it since theres no one left to play against.

发行日期：2007年7月12日 Steam上架时间：2007年7月13日 游戏的模型虽然不是太精细，但是飞船的种类以及武器功能很多，可能需要解锁一下才能用。游戏的节奏偏慢，主要还是因为飞船的移动需要点击鼠标来设置方向且速度小，还有发射需要用鼠标点击飞船才行。英文基础在这款游戏中也是必须的，否则大多数说明全都会看不懂。

After over 10 hours of playing ThreadSpace Hyperbol I feel ready to slowly post a review here. First of all, TSHB is a polished game, much more so than any other game I've laid my eyes on yet (barring maybe SPAZ considering it has similarly active developers and good support). I've encountered a few bugs, but given that I seem to be very alone with those bugs it might be something about my system. I've written in the forums and the dev has replied very fast, for a game with pretty much 8 years on it's back that's really something special. What about the lack of human players? To be honest, there are a bunch of active players, so it's just about getting on at the same time as those. Just post or look on the forums, add the right persons and you're set to have some fun with human players. Not right any second you'd like to but it's really not that much of an issue. And then there is the hyper hour every saturday, during which the game is freely playable with the demo, and apparently at that time there are a lot more players. The gameplay itself is really smooth and nice. Very often I have the feeling that certain things in games work wrong or weird, or that this and that is just not really my fault. In TSHB? If I die it's either because I'm facing too many enemies at once or because I make mistakes, it's as simple as that. There are no lethal glitches or the likes and the physics system is very straightforward, reliable and understandable. The tutorials are also made with great care, they're short, fun, and teach you most though not quite everything you should know. Bonus points for having voices in the tutorials which aren't annoying one bit. I can recommend getting this game, even if it is 8 years old. I got it vastly reduced myself, and to be honest I wouldn't pay the full price because it'd be more money than I can comfortably spend right now, but the game is worth it.

Amazing game, incredibly deep and strategic. Too bad more people dont play it though.

This is really an awesome game that is quite fun however it has one major problem ..... it is a multi-player game that is rarely played anymore. You can play the game single player with AI bots (which are quite challenging if set to be so) or on LAN if you have seperate keys handy. [b]compatibility[/b] plays on windows 7 & 10 just fine. I have not tested it on win8 systems [b]bugs[/b] None. The game is not only polished, but has no bugs. [b]fun/replay value[/b] Good. [b]Multi-Player[/b] Yes. [b]conclusion[/b] One of the hardest things about the game is finding other players to play with. Other than that it is a solid game (be sure and go through the tutorial - Did I mention it has a tutorial ? )
