Command Line Pilot

I like this game! The core mechanics are fun, snappy, and require some serious thinking if you want to get the maximum number of gears for buying upgrades. Each mech is a puzzle that scratches a particular itch and with each mech you discover there's more to scratch. I think the creators did a great job to set up the game in such a way that a lot of content can be added in the future. The scenarios, enemies, and obstacles are diverse and keep you engaged. There are a few things that I miss rather than dislike. First, I miss a narrative. It's clear what we're doing, but not really why we're doing what we're doing. Perhaps that just me and maybe a narrative doesn't make sense here. Second, I would prefer a more involved unlocking scheme for the mechs as in "complete a level without using card X" or "kill no bugs in scenario Y". Third, I think the upgrade system could be more elaborate or involved. Overall, I really enjoyed playing Command Line Pilot and I'm excited to see what the creators will do next with this game. (Yes, more mechs!)

A good well made card/strategy game. Each ship has a different set of options so your strategy changes every time you move to a different ship. Nice graphics and polish. The game play is good, although beware first time you play a new mode you will be very clumsy. The game is all about replay value. You get better each time for a good while. Also, price wise, this is hours of gaming for nothing. Active developers, good stuff.

[h1] I made a full first impressions video of the game here: https://youtu.be/RWw47Xf-Qm0 [/h1] Command Line Pilot is a very unique roguelike as I haven't played too many programming based games like this. It's super fun and is a great start for a game! I think just more content like cards, missions, bosses, and more will help this game grow a ton. I can't wait to see how this game evolves over time!

Command-Line Pilot is a card-based rogue-lite game where piecing together tactics based on what's available each turn and be very flexible is key. The graphics are simple, and mechanics simple, and the game can be frustrating when the right card won't come, but you feel a sense of accomplishment when you finish the missions and unlock a new mech to play with and some new missions. The backstory is minimal: you control some sort of a mech, and due to whatever limitations, you can only issue it orders through these... cards, with simple orders like move, turn, and shoot. If you play several cards of the same color suite, you get level 2 or even level 3 powers, like move twice, turn 180 instead of 90, and so on. You have up to 4 cards to play per turn, and the order is important. Your enemies have little logic other than they want to touch you, and scramble your electronics so you either end up with random facing, or have your card deck scrambled (two adjacent cards change places), or worse! As you don't know how you will move until you get the deck revealed, this can get really... hairy at times. The objectives vary, from getting X kills to take out 2 specific objectives, or ju…

What a wonderful surprise this was! A blend of programming robots with cards in space. Very straight-forward controls and easy to understand gameplay. The game is both puzzle-like and tactical with strategic planning. Since you are a mech, you cannot physically die, but there are consequences. So you must master each mission to collect more gears to upgrade. Unlock new planets while controlling more mechs to defeat the boss on each planet. Two big thumbs up!!

Pretty fun game :)
