Ok, I've over 11 hours in now and think I've got enough playtime to give this a review, although I don't think I'm anywhere near the end. Great game! Serious indie effort has gone into this. (I picked up the Mr Pumpkin bundle as it looked like a bargain) Currently people (myself included) are experiencing some performance issues, but the dev is aware and has been pumping out patches since launch. Pros +Loads of weapons and armour +Loads of things to craft +A base you can teleport to from just about anywhere +Unlock recipes and workstations gradually to not overwhelm you +Intriguing story across space and time involving an alien insect invasion +Mini puzzles and side-quests +Diverse locations and environments to explore across a large map +Cool indie hand-drawn art-style +Some monster in-fighting which is always a joy to see. +Massive storage chest which you can craft directly from. Take note Starfield! +Dark Souls style death mechanic, but way more forgiving. +Use your local scanner to find things you can take or interact with. It also points you in the direction of your next objective. Cons -As mentioned, annoying performance issue, but still playable -Game is Chinese, so t…4 found this helpful
Lol, this background music is so boring it almost put me to sleep. Hope they change it. It’s a sci-fi puzzle game, pretty fun overall tbh3 found this helpful
The game is amazing! I saw the demo on other channels and really wanted to play it myself. At first, I had trouble launching it — it just didn’t work for me. But yesterday I tried again, and it seems like it’s been fixed. I’m definitely going to play it through to the very end. Highly recommended!2 found this helpful
