Initial response so far. Reminds me a lot of the spacer games of the late 90's early 2000 like Decent, Freespace/Wing Commander and Co., BUT has obvious problems with freezing, and constant lockups/pausing that require you in the middle of battle to fix it. I'm cutting these developers some slack with the idea it will be gradually fixed this year sometime. I'm playing via XBOX-One controller vs. Keyboard and/or Joystick w/throttle. I prefer spacers with Joysticks and throttle/peddles, but in this case I went for simplicity for starters. 1. Graphics C's and B's (depending on scene) 2. Storyline (so far) B 3. Music/Atmosphere?Sound A 4. Playability (so far) C-B (depends...etc.) 5. Future....???
Keeping it simplified. VERY 90's-ish looking. Same old stuff both in looks and writing/storyline. Reminds me of the "Orange Box" series....if you catch my drift. 1. Graphics -C 2. Storyline -D 3. Controler issues -Fine/C 4. Replay value -D I only paid a single dollar for this game so no loss. The price has been dropping on this game for OBVIOUS reasons. Not worth the current list of $10.00 (USD) though.
I owned this game in BOTH PC and Console, but unless YOU are NEW to gaming (in BOTH PC and Console formats), and have NEVER played the series.....THEN DO NOT BUY. The play is old and the graphics uninspiring....this is a game that is meant for the people who played it BACK WHEN....had a MOMENT in their lives for DISCOVERY....and can't let go. KINDA like me with the Descent, Freespace, Wing Commander and Independence War space SI-Fi series. I now own and play the "Elder Scrolls" series on XBOX One X 4K versions (SOON on the VR version for Oculus Rift "touch" system), and it's just me now who likes playing on a controler rather than a keyboard. Saves my hands from arthritis and other tendon problems as it were for the time being. I've been a gamer since the MID 70's (YES...that's right...a LIFER) UNFORTUNATELY.....progress means just that....things get outdated....except to the NEWBIES!
I've been playing video games since the early 70's, and when this game came out in it's original arcade version I loved it....so it was a no-brainer pick'n this up. I play PC, Console, and Tablet games even today. In this case I chose to play this game on my other PC/Console....Alienware Alpha (i5) w/Microsoft 360 controler option. In the options/joystick/controler I selected the Micro 360 controler option....but the game won't play using this option. I don't play keyboard/mouse if I have the option, but the game did offer another Joystick option....but not for my Microsoft Precision Pro or Force Feedback. I'll switch this rating when or if I ever get it working.....
BIO... Been a VG'r since the early 70's. I'm still playing PC/Console/Tablet games today. I play on PC Alienware-i7 NVidia 1080P/XBOX 360/One, and Amazon Fire Tablet....yep, I'm CHEAP! YES, I have a LIFE! I'm hooked on Women Gamer's, Astronomy, Art, Digital Photo, Tent Camping, Roadtrips, Digital Photo, Kites, Climbing.....ect....and VIDEO GAMES. This game....Just ONE or TWO things. Graphics are excellent considering, and you can use your XBOX controller using Alienware systems (I also own a Alpha....which is good on here and steam). Keeping it SIMPLE, have fun, and LOOK me UP!
