Love this game. Played on a steam deck. Mostly 60FPS, a few stutters here and there, one time it went down to a few frames a second, but it was during the heat week(s) in the UK so it might just be that. A save and restart of the steam deck fixed it. The storyline is fun, the missions are varied, and there's an unmarked quest line that you might want to look into, if you want all the achievements too. The combat in the air is satisfying, wheeling around to get the main damage via the broadside weapons is amusing, and up to 3/4 of the way through, you have to think about where you hit the enemy ships. Later on, as you upgrade, you get powerful enough to not focus on weak points, and just blast them from the skies. On 'land', the combat is a standard twin stick shooter, with a varied array of weapon types. It's interesting how the modding of weapons work, although the mods don't feel like they have that much effect to the game. Upgrading weapons, ship parts, and buildings was interesting, so was the little things like having to go back to get fuel, carrying extra fuel canisters just in case, as you don't want to end up limping back to store on fumes. The artwork is nice. It's p…
Lovely simple game with beautiful per-pixel graphics and brilliant setting in the world made of floating islands. Very cool old-days action with a variety of weapons and features. Great story and narrative. There is also a glimpse of management gaming with science and building of all kinds of departments on a base ship, but it wasn't developed into its full potential. Which is a shame. But at the end, very good game worth of playing.
8/10 Fun game. Nice style. The controls took a bit of getting used to but it was worth it. I'm only sad I didn't discover the game sooner.
This is good game with a nice story. I enjoyed the gameplay with its wide variety of guns and amulets. I liked Eva. Just took my time while I finished it.
A nice little indie game with an interesting setting, sweet artstyle and the story was surprisingly good, it can get a bit grindy eventually, the only bug I encountered was during a raid where a enemy got immortal so my weapons only passed through, except for that so where the game a pleasant experiance.
Pretty cool game, simple and fun.
