Boy, is this game crap. I bought it on sale and regret playing it late and now it can't be refunded. Sterile visuals, glitchy, poorly explained, and boring. If GOG gives it away, fine, take it, but otherwise don't buy it unless the price goes down to $2 or less. You've been warned.
Entertaining for some hours until the game's crude mechanics, economy, and story finally catch up with it and you realize you could be playing a Far Cry or Elder Scrolls title instead. Not much to look at, either. Only buy on sale.
This game is way over priced, repetitive, gross, dark, and apparently short. The focus feature is useful but that's all I can say that's positive. Don't buy Trepang2 unless it's on deep discount. Better yet, play the demo, as that's the best part, or F.E.A.R. 2 that's vastly more fun and a quarter of the price.
Brutal, spongy, bots. Lame weapons with limited ammo. Tons of long and boring cutscenes. Buy on sale and be prepared to request a refund.
Basically, this is a micromanagement simulator set in outer space. Be prepared to wade through pages of text tutorials and write it all down because game play is rarely intuitive beyond basic ship movement. The number of YouTube tutorials devoted to this title demonstrate its steep learning curve. This is an example of a studio throwing every idea it had into its game without regard for how confusing and time consuming it will be for the player. The graphics are solid, but that's all it has going for it. Voice acting is a joke and much of the story is told through text, more like reading a novel than experiencing it directly within a game. For a far better capital ship combat experience, I suggest Rebel Galaxy or Between the Stars.
A fun and challenging traditional FPS with appealing cyberpunk design. Visualize a combination of Chaser and Warhammer 40,000 Necromunda Hired Gun. Unusually, the story and environments become more engaging as the game progresses so no risk of boredom and, instead, high replay value. Standard controls, well optimized. I sustained over 60 frame rate on my GeForce 1050 Ti. A great value especially when on sale.
Fun diversion!
The style of this game is very appealing. But carefully explore YouTube videos and read reviews before buying because it's slow, pointless, and the UI, while attractive, is not intuitive. As well, ensure your graphics can handle it since it seems to require at least a GeForce 30 series to run as seen in videos.
This is an example of why old games aren't necessarily good. The graphics are distracting in their simplicity but, worse, are the unintuitive controls that the tutorial fails to explain. Never mind the archaic 4:3 screen. Far better to play an engaging and visually rich space title like Rebel Galaxy and avoid shovelware like Star Wolves even on deep discount.
Even without comparing this to other Warhammer 40,000 titles, this is a joke of a game. There's almost no visual connection to the lore and the graphics are low quality even for its time. The player must return to the game launcher to make meaningful configuration changes. The game announce the player progress during play but then upon starting the game next session all progress was forgotten. Many others have reported this elsewhere. This game is not even suitable to be a GOG giveaway.
