hey all! my first review here, hope it helps. Interstellaria is a game that i picked up on a whim and a very old promise, one i made to the maker that if he added walruses id play. and damn have i played in the last few days. i have travelled the stars in a rust bucket, collecting people and ships and just messing around. every so often ill bump into story stuff, and ill head in that direction. the story itself is fairly open, with little to no real directions or coordinates as to where to head, only vague little hints. this is very well done, as you dont feel a need to constantly hunt down main quests. i myself have explored suna, human, and whatever that red space is, and i can honestly say i have had my fair share of battles. battles themselves are intense and well varied, with battles ranging from you stomping on the measly ants that the enemy pirate fighters are to cowering in terror as two frigates engage your two corvettes and rip them to shreds. from what ive just said, it must sound good, but the races are where it REALLY shines. the races are diverse and interesting to talk to, from squid men, to tree men, to humans, to freaking robots. its hugely diverse. with all the good there, there is also bad. A LOT OF BAD. bugs are literally everywhere, and one of the first bugs i encountered seriously took away from the experience, literally. i tried equipping a gun onto my first ship and it completely vanished and never returned, same thing with many of my facilities. i had to do 4 new games to get it right fully. it sucked. ive also found some exploits that arent too cheaty, but still do some damage. i wont mention those. Overall interstellaria is a great game with a few major flaws. i highly suggest you pick it up, even with aforementioned flaws, as the developer is working hard at fixing all these bugs day in and day out. thanks.
