Has a LOT of potential, but there are some problems: - too many bugs (e.g. pathfinding, employee NPCs cant reach some rooms and get frozen in place) - needs rebalancing (employee/customer ratio to keep the inn running fluently is close to 1.0) - UI could be more user friendly - also having more detailed stats about wares/goods/economy would be cool (if you played settlers 2 you know what I mean) If you are considering this game wait some time for bugfixes and/or sale.
Im glad I finally finished this game, now I can concentrate on real life duties again :) The game suffers from bad optimization (to my laymans eye), bugs, and combat with multiple opponents can become clunky in tight spaces, but still, this game manages to beat all the rpgs from recent years. Judging by the size of their team and their funds, they did superb job.
1. Starbound argument The gameplay feels exacty like starbound, you get a star system where you have 1-5 planets/moons. Each can have some conditions which make it harder to survive like acid/cold/heat/radiation. Consider if you want to pay additional 30-40 Eur (or something like that) for additional domension. 2. Randomized worlds criticism While the universe is supposedly large, the randomization algorithm is bad. Want to know how it feels like? Print two white noise waveforms and compare them, they will be different from another, but when you look at them from afar, you see the pattern (or lack of thereof) - its just random scribble. There are no rivers, mountains, or anything. The land is just an effing white noise, there's no sense or logic to it! If you still dont know what i mean, play Dwarf Fortress, generate a world and explore it. You will see how much NMS is lacking. 3. Bugs Bugs that i noticed: game stuttering, being unable to change graphical settings when in full window, this https://s3.postimg.org/5d004aybn/NMS_WTF.png i.e. broken respawn points. 4. Summary. I would recommend this game if it was below 20 Eur (far, far below 20). However the quality/price ratio at this moment is laughable.
