A worthy successor to Age of Decadence

Colony Ship opens with the musical strains of a melancholy western and a main menu that looks like the well-worn cover of a paperback space opera from the 1960s. The menu reveals the subtitle: "A Post Earth Role Playing Game." From the outset, the game pays homage to a trio of core inspirations: HBO's Deadwood, Heinlein's Orphans of the Sky, and Interplay's Fallout. If you enjoyed any of those works, the question is not whether you should play Colony Ship but when you should play. CS is about a "generation ship": a slower-than-light vessel sent, lifetimes ago, from Earth to Proxima Centauri in hopes of establishing a colony at that nearest, yet still vastly distant, star. A generation ship rests on an unusual social compact. The first generation willingly sacrifices for sake of the last generation, who will have a shot at freedom and utopia in a new home. But the intervening generations have no choice and yet bear a sacrifice even greater than the founders'. For them, the Ship is neither Ark nor Mayflower; it's a prison and pressure-cooker. The game begins after a failed Mutiny has nearly wrecked the Ship and its society. You are a scavenger eking out an existence in the Pit, a cargo hold converted into shantytown. It's a perfect starting hub that offers rich opportunities for any character build. The process of creating that character cleverly weaves in the game's backstory. Gaps in your abilities can be filled by companions. They have their own personalities and values, but as long as your goals and theirs align, they can assist both inside and outside of battle. CS is an open game. You immediately have the run of the Pit, and soon add the Hydroponics Lab and the Armory, both full of NPCs, foes, environmental interactions, traps, loot, etc. If you like combat, there're tactical turn-based battles. If you don't, there's stealth, diplomacy, and hacking. Bottom line: CS combines the heart and soul of a small team with the depth and polish of large developer.

A very nice turn-based sci-fi RPG

A very nice turn-based sci-fi RPG, slightly reminiscent of the original Fallout. .) Great character creation and progression. .) Varied approach to many situtations - try convince others through diplomacy, attack them, or just sneak by .) Runs well, had no problems with bugs or crashes so far .) Intruiguing, gritty game world with believable characters .) Has a certain "cyberpunk"-like vibe to it, with a dark world, implants and augmentations, and some powerful factions wrestling for power and control, with little regards to the populace .) the turn-based combat is great, and the skills and combat options you learn can pack a punch Still being in development, this is not a finished game. There are a few areas that might benefit from future improvements: .) Movement feels a bit clunky at times. It's not always clearly visible where you can walk and where you can't, and clicking somewhere you can't just makes your character stop dead in their tracks. .) Balancing is not perfect yet - certain skills/items seem to be way more useful than others. .) Difficulty is high (and spiky), and relies way too much on nonstop quicksaving and quickloading at every step you take - and there seem to be no difficulty settings to adjust.

Competent But Disappointing

There is something ironic about a game as limited as this revolving around ideas of personal freedom all the while limiting the player to power gaming strategies in order to be effective. Don't be mislead by the panoply of skills offered at character creation, you will soon discover most are mutually exclusive for inexplicable reasons Once you decide upon diplomacy or destruction, you will be punished and eventually have all progress halted if you attempt any deviation. All checks are pass/fail. Without the required stat or skill, you are doomed. Don't be mislead by the colors of the options, yellow does not indicate you have a chance as I had initially surmised. After failing enough to be suspicious I tried save scumming and after 25 loads I realized the colors of text options mean nothing. I would have given this game three stars for being at least average if it weren't for the lack of auto saves and the inability to save during combat. After losing several hours progress because a conversation went south resulting in immediate hostilities with no opportunity to salvage any of it I felt absolute no desire to slog through any of it again. Also, be aware that the quest log eschews any useful information other than the bare minimum, locations are not marked and you are given only vague descriptions (look for the salvage container with green trim!), and you you are quizzed constantly on how well you pay attention to the mundane and uninspired dialogue with NPCs and admonished severely for any lapse. Its neither thoughtful nor entertaining enough for the investment required of the player. If tedium and blind failure are your thing, have at, otherwise I would recommend a hard pass. I supported the previous game by this studio despite how clunky, unattractive and cumbersome it was, however, while this was a drastic improvement in a few notable ways this will be the last time I support Iron Tower.

Old School. It's a story wrapped in a game. Note this is "In Development" with expected full release October 2022. Notes of Bladerunner; a distopian, dirty future. Meant to be played in a dark room. The best thing about Colony Ship is that it eschews the paradigm whereby games studios construct games for profit by lowering all narratives to a common denominator. The worst thing about Colony Ship is that it is not complete yet. http://irontowerstudio.com/colony-ship-news The other negative is that there is a railroady element in that skills must be obtained to a certain level to pass skill based checks - or else the story pushes you into combat (which is not as difficult as it was in Age of Decadence). I expect this negative to be ironed out in the coming updates as locations and story unravel - as it was in Age of Decadence. You are supporting a story in the In Dev/ Early Access, a piece of art, a new form of narrative literature - or depending on your play style - a brutal isometric turn based combat simulator. You decide, Iron Tower has Both

Too Unbalanced to Currently Enjoy

After a strong opening sequence and well-designed character builder, you're thrust into a game with wildly uneven difficulty and lack of balance. While it can be argued that Iron Tower is going for an 'old school' RPing experience with Colony Ship, I'd say there's a lot more trial and error and arbitray punishment dealt than is reasonable for most gamers. Rather than immersively "playing a role", it felt like my playtime was spent trying to be/do exactly what the game wanted me to, in order to progress. CRPGs are one of my favorite genres - I'm a big fan of Fallout 1 & 2, the Wasteland series, the Planescape/Torment series, the Shadowrun series, and indie titles such as Stellar Tactics and Encased. That said, I cannot recommend Colony Ship.
