Galactic Warship

I would like to see this game succeed, its got a good premise, and I like the bullet hell in 3D space thing going on. But please, please work on the control scheme, it is currently horrendous, and you can't edit the controls to make it better. Best of luck, I'll be back to check this out again later.

So in my quest for a Fractured Space / Star Conflict analogue, I came across Galactic Warship. The bill seems somewhat similar and the dev's goals feel somewhat similar, compressed into a roguelike. So where is this divergent? This is an autofire game, which reduces execution agency. It has roguelike elements which are pretty good for buildspace improvements. It does not however have a lot of polish in current state, and unlocks are limited to sector completion, not progression. There's no real note on this in the game either, nor is there notes for how to unlock each ship. Entering in to the ship select just shows ships that you do not own, which makes it feel a lot less polished. The main gameplay loop is enjoyable but appears to have placeholders for other enemies, in that they appear like triangles or even just orbs. Having a capital ship roguelike with a good buildspace is something I'd truthfully love to see. I think this needs some time in the oven, but I'll continue to noodle around in here periodically and see how the game progresses over time. I am hopeful for the end state of it. It could align well with what I want from a game.

I wanna like this game but it's just a bit...busy? It's hard to tell what's going on, controls are a bit clunky. I almost wonder if this game would benefit from being more of a naval-style combat game than one where you pitch, roll, etc.? Like Rebel Galaxy - it'd at least make things a bit clearer as to where enemies and objectives are.
