Farlight Commanders: Prologue

Farlight Commanders: Prologue is not strictly a game. It's an advertisement/demo for Farlight Commanders. It's a common mistake when unfamiliar with Steam to launch demos/advertisements as full games on Steam instead of tagging them correctly as demos. Here's the instructions for putting a demo up on Steam, to demonstrate that there is a correct process for this, which hasn't been followed here: https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/store/application/demos Farlight Commanders, the game this is an advertisement for, is a laughably bad 2D retro platformer/shooter hybrid with a sci-fi theme. Don't let the visuals fool you on this, the game itself is terrible, it's largely slapped together by reskinning the Unreal Engine 2D platformer game template (the developers didn't even bother renaming that part of it!). The template isn't the best one Epic has to offer for the Unreal engine, gameplay is clunky and highly dis-satisfying. Decent artists and the Unreal Engine itself can't save this one. There's co-op gameplay (and no players of course, the quality is terrible) and spaceship as well as platformer modes, but all the good ideas in the world can't be saved by a poor quality exec…

Barotrauma in the space, this is the first impression after playing for 5 min, the rule of this game are way more simple. Only 1 thing that I am a bit unsatisfied with, that is: Turrets are TOO slow to aim in such a bullet-hell battle action. this could be acceptable if this could be accelerated via upgrading character skill.

This game looks interesting, but it's really not that engaging. The controls are alright, and the game play has some interesting elements. Overall, it feels like someone's really fleshed out game design school project. I would have refunded this if it weren't a demo. The worst part about the game though is the written dialogue. It reads like someone trying to do some commentary about a dystopia future, but were more interested in trying to be clever and funny. It wasn't clever or funny, and instead it was eye-rolling bad. The combat was pretty boring overall. Enemies were way too tough, and you didn't get that shoot 'em feel that it seemed to be projecting. Enemies are weirdly tough and overall it just fell flat in a lot of places. I wanted to like the game because it looks interesting.

Игра 'Farlight Commanders: Prologue' - это многообещающий взгляд на жанр космических стратегий с сильным акцентом на командную работу. Игра подкупает своим уникальным стилем, сочетающим детализированные модели кораблей и окружения с мультяшным, но выразительным дизайном персонажей. Геймплей, сосредоточенный на управлении экипажем и распределении ресурсов, требует внимательности и тактического планирования. Система развития базы выглядит интересно и предлагает множество путей для прогресса. Однако, Prologue все же ощущается как демонстрация концепции, а не полноценная игра. Порой не хватает четкости интерфейса и объяснений некоторых механик, что может запутать новичков. Сюжет пока не отличается выдающейся глубиной, но задает неплохой задел для будущей истории. В целом, 'Farlight Commanders: Prologue' - отличный способ познакомиться с амбициозным проектом и оценить его потенциал. Если разработчики учтут отзывы игроков и доведут игру до ума, нас может ждать захватывающая космическая одиссея. Несмотря на отдельные недостатки, я рекомендую обратить внимание на эту игру и следить за ее развитием.
