Any company that starts selling parts of a(single player!) game as separate purchases needs to die
Since crazy people rate it 1 for their politics
$12 for the Halflings and 3 Scenarios -Just one of the MORE THAN HALF of the races that are now removed . It's absurd for the majority of playable races to be removed from the series, and insulting to have them offered as DLC I would give negative stars for this sort of greedy behavior producing inferior overpriced products if I could
The sale price is an incredible deal-get it. The physics are a lot of fun-moving in three dimensions with inertia! The varied weapon types are more than just skins unlike so many games these days, and there are more meta abilities gained from the ancients. It is a very linear game in some ways but open world in others. For instance choosing the next area to go to will not have many options, but once you are in an area you can go anywhere in it and do whatever you want. It is a roguelite type of game, you will die, buy upgrades and start another run. The couple graphical issues I have had seem to come from my ancient GPU, I don't recall any bugs, haven't had crashes. Someone who hadn't played the game complained about not enough player ship types...but each ship is completely different and they have hundreds of upgrades. It's taken me many many hours to fully upgrade a single ship. Space is beautiful.
...Since my playstation disc got too scratched to run. Sadly, this is a cheap but unusable port of the game, as the "controls" are the invincible enemy you will face here. I miss this game, it was fun on the playstation, but this just isn't playable.
It had the potential to be an actual competitor to the Total War series, but the constant crashes with practically every single battle and then a few extra crashes thrown in make this essentially unplayable. I've tried a handful of times to get it to work, because I have been able to play just enough to want to play more. I can't understand how a program that doesn't even work has this high a rating. Avoid this, buy something you can play instead.
It was enjoyable enough that I put time into trying to fix it. Sadly the game just doesn't save and it seems to be a well known issue. If you can get it free and want to try to fix this game, go for it. I'm not masochistic enough to spend any more time trying to get it to work.
Personally, I don't think "game" quite fits, but then I'm not one to play point and click adventure/detective games. Very nice rendering of an HP Lovecraft story. It was not hard to find the informative extras, and they were a welcome addition as I enjoy learning more about the background and context. There were a few times that the voice actor/narrator guy doesn't get the words right, but nothing major.
