The whole game world is in 3D, but the action takes place on a 2D plane which makes the action and controls really easy.

Story



Till the year 2016, the budgets of all the government space programs have been reduced to a minimum. To forward the space exploration, a private group of companies started comprising the Consortium. The Consortium was able to demonstrate amazing success within a few decades. It quickly assumed a monopoly position in the development and production of space equipment. During this time mankind overcame the differences it had and united to a world government in 2087. The armed forces of the former governments joined to serve as police and security forces of the new world government. The first success of the new world government was the establishment of a permanent mars colony in 2094. The Consortium took actively part in. Today it’s the year 2169. Mankind has long since penetrated to the farthest corners of the solar system. A gold rush has set up mining colonies whereever it has been possible to mine raw materials. The Consortium has thus developed into the largest economic power in the solar system. It controls a large part of all mining operations and earns revenue from the sale of ships and technology to the colonies. But the general prosperity also attracts individuals who seek to enrich at the expense of the honest workers. The huge distances between the planets make it extremely difficult to the Military to retain control. Therefore, unfortunately, again and again tragic events are happening…

Here begins the story of the young pilot who nearly escapes death while his convoi was attacked.

Tags: Shootemup & Bullet Hell Additional Tags: Delete Local Content & Remove from Library TLDR: Pointlessly convoluted aftterburner and throttle system. Fake3D on horizontal plane in front of 2D background. Unsatisfying targetting. The foes are constantly misaligned even though you can barely adjust your Z elevation, seems like they have to be individually painted with a targeting system before your reticle will acquire them. Otherwise the action of moving forward is done in odd manual speed increments with the afterburning thrown in the mix. You cannot really effectively do hard rotations or otherwise move up, down, or backwards, leading the game to take a bit too much inspiration from a 6DOF dogfighting game. Ultimately it just does not come together a cohesive experience and is just best permanently deleted for declutter.

Haven’t played it, but got it very cheap with the coupons you get when you level up. Just used it long enough to get the card drops.

Games like Noita, where the physics is the real enemy

Games like Noita for the two things it really does: spells you assemble yourself, and a simulated world that takes nobody's side. Seven picks, from a slugcat to a dwarf fortress.

Tormented Souls price: a horror game that stopped moving

The Tormented Souls price has not budged in six weeks of our readings. What that means for buying it, and whether the 2025 sequel is the better purchase instead.
