✦ AI summary

Starshifter has an appealing art style, soundtrack, and story concept that draw players in, but the core gameplay feels unpolished with clunky movement controls, awkward flying mechanics that are difficult to manage, and unintuitive combat that leaves players unsure of objectives. Multiple reviewers describe the game as feeling more like a late beta than a finished product, with several experiencing game-breaking bugs and progression issues, leading most to recommend waiting for significant polish and refinement before purchase.

I REALLY want to like this game, the concept is really exciting, but after playing it for a little while I have to say it doesn't really feel like a complete or necessarily even really very playable game. Moving around in coyote form feels clunky and difficult to maneuver. There's no sense of being an agile, clever creature that seems like should be. Flight as a crow can stretch further if you use it right than you'd expect from its challenges, but intuitively it feels like you slow down way too fast and managing speed feels awkward and precarious. Combat with the dark creatures feels awkward (due to the awkward controls) and it isn't really clear whether you're "supposed" to fight the rats, since fighting is hard and they keep respawning for at least enough waves to feel like the fight might go on indefinitely. Defeating the very first enemy in the game feels like way more a challenge than it should be if is actually intended to, thanks to the controls. I didn't find the weasel form, though the game settings indicate it exists and so do other reviews, which seem indicate there's more content in the game that's actually reachable. There's a lack of easily findable signals as to…

Neat game its story is pretty good and its worth a try. but i agree with other people that it seems like a late beta than a finished product . The movement controls need alot more polish and refining and the combat needs to be less dull, otherwise its very good. I recommend the dev implement better attacks and a more refined variety of enemies , more consistent ways to maintain flying and better turns in the air, less stiff movement for the coyote in general . I think the flying is the worst part though, i wish it was a bit smoother and easier to maintain, pulling up is the worst decision you can make because you cannot maintain momentum . It may also be my specs as i tend to have turning issues with my low GPU its great for a bit while running around and collecting, but then a headache sets in when its not as fun while the realization hits that movement isnt the best and feels like more of a chore to control but im not sure what its problem is . I still recommend it , it needs more updates and then it will be on par with a hat in time with its artstyle and hopefully smoother movement. the levels are also a little simple , but thats not a super bad thing because gecko gods als…

I really enjoyed playing through this game. The art style is absolutely amazing, and the soundtrack is very immersive and cozy. The game also features a nice mix of small puzzles and quests, along with an interesting story.

Will wait for the game to be finished. At this state I found it to be unplayable. My PC crashed (Not really game related), when I opened my save again, it put me back in the tutorial, nowhere near the tutorial spawn point, and I had to look where the crow was to interact with it and get rid of control tutorial message. Could not delete my save, nor start a new one. Game and story looks cool tho and I'm really looking forward to when it's finished ! But this is so unfinished it feels like a free itch.io demo
