StarCrawlers

This is an excellent game, it's really worth picking up. If you love old school first person grid dungeon crawlers, you'll love this. Excellent atmosphere, music, and gameplay. It's a nice fresh Cyberpunk setting, which makes a great change from normal Sword and Sandals theme of those types of games. I do wish there was an option to upgrade to a Deluxe version that included that soundtrack, but if you like RPG's, you need to have this on your library. 5 Stars.

This game is looking really nice at the beginning. Some interesting character classes to choose from, each has its own mechanics and although at first it seems complicated to learn them, it's not that bad, just try them and the rest is learning by doing. There are however some things which could have been elaborated. How many crawlers do I need, do I need to recruit them? And so on. But it's easy to learn and the remaining questions may be answered by using a search engine of your choice. Though mechanics are somewhat complex and interesting and yet the game can be played casually. There are not really any unforbidding choices, everything can be compensated sooner or later, which I also like. So You can have your fun! So why the bad mark? Because apart from the main storyline, all dungeons are generic, randomly generated, the items also. You level up and so will the dungeons and items and monsters. But there is not really anything new or extraordinary interesting. If you played for example Baldurs Gate and found a +2 Sword, this has quite a value and you will be quite happy about this find. In StarCrawlers You will find many items with many properties constantly changing and it gets tedious to compare them. Making progress will become boring, because everything which is progressing is just the level of the monsters and items. Of course You may just play the main storyline. Then the game will probably be quite hard and nevertheless not to interesting either, because in the end, most things are kind of generic, even though the dungeons and monsters change a bit. I started the game and had some hours of fun, but then I lost interest. If You don't mind completing the game, then I definitly recommend buying it on sale. But don't buy it, if You like to have variation or a good story (the story is ok, but rather thin). There are some interesting choices to make (storywise), but since replayability value is low, unfortunatly most of them will never be discovered.

Linux review . In order to pick anything up in the game or interact with an object one must wave the cursor around trying to find the sweet spot because it is never on the item. The game crashes often when transitioning between the space station and a mission. It's a shame because when the game is working it is really quite fun.

I liked Grimrock, but wanted a space themed dungeon crawler with less puzzles. This is exactly what i found in star crawlers. the environments are varied, the characters all play very differently. The gear is quite a micromanagement but fun. the story so far 4 hours into it is interesting and they are always keeping you on your toes with story choices and reputation changes. I'm enjoying it and can't wait to play some more of it.

What a delicious dungeon crawler! It's funny (very well written), it has a great atmosphere, a nice sense of progress along the missions, important choices that matter towards factions... And humour, too! No tedious feeling of grinding at all (at least for me, who enjoy a bit of grind), and a solid feeling of working as an actual crawler (space looter/mercenary). I play it on another platform (a steaming pile of... games), but I consider buying it again on GOG (at a discount) to support the devs. Ain't that real love?
