Distant Star: Revenant Fleet

[h1] DU-DU-DUUU-DU-DU-DU-D-DUUUUUUUUUUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [/h1]

I have no idea why I can review this title I do not own. I suppose it's possible I have forgotten it completely after refunding it (since I cannot install it), meaning it was so utterly forgettable it is definitely not worth playing.

Great game 100% worth the money

Surprised this has mixed reviews, it's a very simple game, but well balanced, fun, replayable, and has a great story. Not perfect, but I'd say $10 is a perfect price.

I don't get why the reviews are mixed; the price is a little high for what Distant Star is, but it's a worthwhile sale purchase if FTL makes you want to play a similar-but-fleet-oriented-strategy game. It's pretty straightforward, but the variety of ship classes helps with replayability, there are lots of solid combinations to play around with, I like the ship designs, and I really like the quests that reveal that you are not necessarily the good guys in this war. From a practical perspective, it's very stable and can run on just about any machine, no matter how terrible. Downsides: in the late game, you'll have too much money and not enough access to the stuff you want to spend it on, which is why I think the biggest shortcoming of Distant Star is the lack of workshop support - a modding community would really help flesh out the game, which seems to have suffered from the all-too-common problem of minimal late-game testing, and could add more ships and quests for the completionists. Overall, I've had a good amount of fun with this game, and if you want a fleet combat game you can just pick up and play with a minimal learning curve, this is a solid choice.

what is there to say.. gave it a jam ages ago, and I completely forgot i even had it in my library. cant have made an impression
