This game is pure gold!
I am currently ~15h into the game (finished it once, and apart from saving earth, nearly everything else went horribly wrong ;) ), and I must say, so far it is really nice. At the core, this is a classic / retro-style point-and-click adventure (sci-fi theme, of course), with some light elements of resource management and tactical, round-based space combat on top. Add some moral decisions plus alternate endings (on many planets you visit, your decisions and behaviour alter the outcome, so you may end up getting resources OR crew members, or nothing at all). Generally, the more effort you are willing to put into it, the more you will get. Sometimes still, you have a choice to make (and those can have effects at a later point in the game). The writing is truly felicious: It is humorous (resembling classic Sierra adventures), immersive, but can also be quite dark at times: After all, we are at war here. There is intentional replay value: The "mini" endings you unlock on certain occasions can be used on subsequent playthroughs to quickly auto-complete this section, but you certainly will always be on the hunt to get the "best" possible ending. The puzzles can be somewhat intriguing at times, but always fair. So far, I have encountered only two under time-pressure (in the sense that you have to time your actions appropriately). If still something goes wrong, you can always load the latest save state. Space Combat is not highly sophisticated, but can be quite demanding nonetheless: You always know what actions enemy ships will take on the next turn, so you can (and have to) plan ahead accordingly. It is also completely optional. All in all, it looks very polished, and is an enjoyable experience. If you are into sci-fi themed point-and-click adventures, this is a no-brainer; just buy and enjoy :) PS: should a developer read this: I would have liked to be able to get Jonesy (the cat) as a companion, and be it only for flavour ;)
Hilft dir das weiter?
