Arkin

So hard to control a good concept but a bad game.

Game is obviously not getting any further updates, which is a shame. The concept is solid, I really enjoy dog-fighting in NMS and elite dangerous, but always found that elite dangerous dog-fights take a while, and NMS is extremely easy to handle dogfights. This game is like the perfect mix, purely focusing on epic dogfight battles. Sadly, for whatever reason, the game has NEGATIVE mouse acceleration. Which means if you do a flick of the mouse, you will move extremely slowy. I always have to move my mouse super slowly to make any proper movements. I changed my pitch and yaw, no changes. I even turned my DPI to max, no changes. I have to constantly drag and reposition my mouse to do any maneuver. I really did want to play through the levels this demo has to offer, but seeing as I can't even control my ship properly it's a sad pass. Also, why is there no reverse thrusters?

good game, wish they didnt all bail on it. These developers just do it for the clout then abandon thier play base. why is there no explosion sound when you crash? very sloppy. I beta Canadian made this.

Arkin is a crying shame, and I dare say an example of one of the many reasons that Valve's Early Access program is a disaster. This was a promising looking space combat sim with reasonable production values, a somewhat slimmed down/arcadey experience, but still a huge amount of potential... and because of Early Access, it was abandoned before it could be completed. Here's the thing. If the developer didn't have the opportunity to launch an incomplete game onto Steam, they would have had to finish it, and it would have been a huge success (based on what little of the game is available here). However, because of Early Access, it hit an early negative feedback loop. That is to say, the developer got a lukewarm response, so they abandoned the game. They got a lukewarm response because the game wasn't complete! Early Access, while well intentioned, consistently does more harm than good. And that's before you get shady developers like Snail games abusing it by releasing dozens of incomplete games they never intend to finish. One important note is that even though this is an amateur project, it does seem to be sincerely and genuinely made. I couldn't find any flipped assets, pl…

Arkin — динамичная аркада с яркой графикой и увлекательным геймплеем. Игра предлагает множество уровней, где нужно стрелять по движущимся объектам, избегая столкновений. Плюсы: интуитивное управление, насыщенная атмосфера, разнообразие оружия. Минусы: некоторые уровни слишком сложны, а повторяющийся сюжет быстро надоедает. Подойдет для коротких сессий, но не станет долгосрочным хобби. Рекомендую для любителей быстрой игры.
