Void Stalkers

ㅤ

Void Stalkers is an absolute gem of a space adventure, combining the thrill of interstellar trucking with intense, edge-of-your-seat survival mechanics inspired by Five Nights at Freddy’s. The atmosphere is phenomenal—drifting through starfields while ferrying alien cargo, only to have unexpected and often terrifying events throw the routine into chaos. Each incident amps up the tension, demanding creative problem-solving and lightning-fast decisions that keep the adrenaline pumping. The visuals and sound design in Void Stalkers set the mood perfectly, immersing players in the eerie beauty—and lurking danger—of deep space. Every sector holds new mysteries and terrifying encounters, pushing players to adapt to bizarre scenarios that go well beyond typical trucking sims. Void Stalkers is an exhilarating blend of strategy, horror, and sci-fi, with enough surprises and depth to keep you hooked for hours on end. Highly recommended to anyone who loves space games with a terrifying twist! P.S. Don't let the story line fool you. There is lore that would be fun to take a deeper dive into for future games.

Bir Void Rig'in pilotu olarak, tehlikeli yaratıkları sistem genelindeki çeşitli araştırma tesislerine taşımak sizin göreviniz. Geminizin güvenlik kameralarını, dronunu ve diğer sistemleri kullanarak sorunları çözün ve Void'de yolculuk ederken hayatta kalın.

7/10 Flawed but fun. The core gameplay loop is really fun: manage various problems aboard your cargo ship from the comfort of your pilot's chair. Turn on sprinklers to put out fires, send a drone to destroy infestations, or use various environmental controls to lure an alien into an airlock and eject it into space, all through the cockpit interface and security camera system. The idea is fantastic and I liked the deliberately clunky cockpit controls reminiscent of 80's scifi. There were, however, frequent game-breaking bugs: Certain buttons that I needed to press often became unresponsive, forcing me to restart the game. Also, the forced addition of cockpit decoration items was really off-putting, distracting and immersion breaking. So was the story, which, at least for me, was not merely unnecessary, but actively reduced my enjoyment of the game. This isn't because the story was bad per se, but rather because it not only detracted from the already enjoyable and engaging core gameplay loop, but also arbitrarily forced the game to end much too soon. It would have been better if we simply had an endless, story-free mode where we just keep hauling the alien cargo to see how far we get before we get eaten. (Ideally without the lame cockpit decorations.) Still, the game as it currently stands is nicely unique and good enough to be worth the time spent playing it.

Void Stalkers reminds me of a board game more than anything else. It has a bit of an Elite vibe at first, with you zooming your little cargo ship between space stations, but it soon turns out to be more about scrambling to handle emergencies during transit, which gives it that feeling of being pulled in different directions that some cooperative board games have. In that sense, it's also a bit similar to something like FTL. Fires break out, weird alien mould appears, the titular void stalkers teleport aboard or break out of the hold (your cargo is always some void stalkers - evidently these deep space monsters are in demand for some reason). It's a short game - I reached one of the three endings in about an hour - but it feels like the right length for what it is. The gameplay is engaging and tense in a short game, but would probably get tiresome and repetitive if it was much longer. I enjoyed that each emergency has to be handled slightly differently, and responding to restless void stalkers in the hold relies on being observant. It's a fun little game and I'm glad I played it. Being free makes it considerably easier to excuse the fairly frequent bugs (I encountered misplaced dialogue a few times, and a full freeze up during the ending). Overall it's worth a play. It's a well designed and engaging 60 minutes.

Nice!

Инди-хоррор с элементами выживания в космическом сеттинге. Плюсы: Атмосферное звуковое сопровождение — напряжённые звуки и музыка усиливают чувство страха; Разнообразие врагов — каждый с уникальными способностями и поведением; Исследование локаций — множество скрытых уголков и секретов. Минусы: Ограниченное количество уровней — игра может быстро закончиться; Технические баги — возможны вылеты и недочёты; Высокий уровень сложности — некоторые моменты могут показаться чрезмерно пугающими. Итог: понравится любителям хорроров и игр на выживание. Захватывающая атмосфера и разнообразие врагов делают игру увлекательной, несмотря на возможные технические проблемы и ограниченное количество контента.

Die Spielidee ist an sich gut. Hätte was draus werden können. Wurde aber leider sehr schlecht umgesetzt. Das Spiel ist leider extrem langweilig, weil man immer wieder das gleiche tun muss. Es gibt nur wenig Abwechslung und sobald man das "Tutorial" durch hat, wiederholt sich alles nur noch. Außerdem merkt man, dass die Monster wach werden, daran dass ein anderes Fass im gleichen Frachtraum aufleuchtet als vorher ... wer denkt sich sowas aus? Davon abgesehen ist es leider auch in Version 1.0.8 noch extrem verbuggt: Sobald man Aktionen ausführt, die so nicht vorgesehen sind (z.B. falsch auf die Anomalie reagiert), passiert es schnell, dass man in einer Endlosschleife hängt und das Spiel nur noch beenden kann. Es gibt 3 Enden. Egal welches man erreicht, das Spiel friert komplett ein. (Bei einem der Enden bekommt man immerhin trotzdem den Erfolg ...) Ich hätte mir wirklich gewünscht, dass besser getestet worden wäre vor der Veröffentlichung. So kann ich leider nur sagen: selbst geschenkt leider nur absolute Zeitverschwendung.

Игра 'Void Stalkers' захватывает с первых минут своей мрачной атмосферой и необычным сеттингом. Исследование космической станции, пораженной загадочной инфекцией, держит в напряжении на протяжении всей игры. Разнообразие оружия и способностей позволяет экспериментировать с разными стилями прохождения, а мутанты, бродящие по коридорам, заставляют продумывать каждый шаг. Сюжет, подаваемый через обрывки дневников и окружение, оставляет много вопросов и подталкивает к повторным прохождениям в попытках собрать цельную картину. Боевая система достаточно требовательна, но справедлива. Победа над сильным врагом приносит настоящее удовлетворение. Однако, стоит отметить некоторую однообразность локаций ближе к концу игры и редкие, но раздражающие баги. В целом, 'Void Stalkers' – это достойный представитель жанра survival horror с хорошей графикой и увлекательным геймплеем, который определенно стоит внимания любителей мрачных приключений и исследования тайн.
