Neither game in this bundle work properly. Both start up with the 3D graphics clearly being broken into a indecipherable spaghetti animations which make it harder to see what is going one. X: Beyond the Frontier would always crash upon launch. X Tension: While a lot of more functional, still has the broken graphics animation with the voice recording being chopped up. The rending in both games are slow, erratic, and blatantly broken and should not be sold on the site in such state. The company responsible for these games, Egosoft, leave these games without fixing any of the bugs, according to the forums. You are better of buying Flatspace , Everspace, or Endless Space. You can also download Endless Skies which is for free instead.
Ragardless of what configuration I use, the game keeps launching with the broken 3D graphics, which is clearly evident in the logo animation, before the game closes itself. I tried finding tips in the community forums and found out that the company responsible for the games, at best, are slow to fix bugs, even with their most recent games. You are better off buying yourself Flatspace or Endless Space.
...but since this is not a normal age, I must let you know I bought this game six full months ahead of the Trump Tariffs and I later learned that the studio is based in an unashamed MAGA state. I know recommend boycott the games which you did not already buy.
Excellent for quick breaks on a side of cheesy jokes and an occasional challenge. It's a gaming equivalent of golf-related fast food done right.
This item is a colelction of three games and a level editor, none which boot up in their current state.
In the age of disappointing remakes and subpar "remasters," Rogue-FP in an unexpectedly delightful gem. This game may not be ambitious as the contemporary indie rogueliek games, but the visual redesign of the typical ASCII-style dungeon crawling game converting it into a gorgeos yet minimalistic game design with intuitive controls and distinguishable enemy sprites. The devs behind this game improved certain aspects of the roguelike formula by adding the "Dig mode," which has literal pitfalls and foreboding ruin architecture. The devs also deliberately replicate some of the flaws found in the original rogue game by offering players workarounds. Rogue (1980) occassionally has dead-end passages where suual keybaording skills wont get you through. Rogeu-FP includes a prompt which informs you that it's possible to press the Q button to unlock secret passageways and traps, making this game intuitive for players new to the roguelike genre. This game is an excellent arcade-like game for new players and a nostalgic treat for long-time players fo roguelikes.
Mini Metro, a minimalistic metro-themed arcade-like game, is an excellent debut for the Dino Polo Studio. The game has you connect all of the metro station in an appearently endless game. They start slow and smooth, slowly pickups in speed and intensity with a help of an occasional extra train and an upgrade of your choice, until you may be on a verge of being overwhelmed by the sheer number of passengers that you attempt to service. Featuring neat maps and a daily challenge mode where you play compete against other players for the best point, this game is excellent for those who want a te-beark games or want to play a game while listening to a podcast. It's worth a purchase whether on sale or not.
As a fan of turn-based strategy games who also likes love-craft-inspired horror, I am very disappointed to accounce that the first bug I encountered is the one which prevents me from playing the game in the first place. The bug in the game involves a tutorial UI which you can't click your way past it so a player is likely stuck before a first move could even be made. Had the devs fixed all the bugs like this before releasing the game, I would not likely have refunded it.
This game won't start. Opening it only prompts a black screen.
