About Frontier Runner

Humanity has expanded from its ancient cradle to fill the sky with its worlds. At first the expansion came by way of the enigmatic “warp drives” that granted humans the ability to skip between stars. Humanity sent you among other colonists to the darkness above to find new homes to expand mankind faiths, and ideologies.

Using this warp drives technology, humanity decides to launch two fully equipped research spaceships ( The Zion and the Shenzhen) on a mission to find more habitable planets suitable for colonization. Due to the expected long journey, you and other members of your team enter a cryogenic mode, leaving the spacecraft to be fully handled by bots and droids until they arrive to their destination. But something unexpected happens, and several months after engaging their warp drives, the two spaceships lose communication with each other and the ships' hulls start to lose integrity.
After calculating the risks, the droids decide to shut down the warp drive.
With their warp drives offline, your research ship drift through space until it sucked in by a nearby planet's gravitational pull and put on a collision course with its surface.
Only one human static pod survives the crash!

✦ AI summary

Frontier Runner is praised for its engaging survival shooter gameplay set in a post-apocalyptic setting, with dynamic combat, exploration of abandoned stations, and atmospheric graphics that create good tension. However, players note that the game is held back by limited content, with only one sector to explore, and some feel the difficulty balance between shooting and survival mechanics could be refined.

Najgorsza gra, w jaką kiedykolwiek grałem... Space Rangers na Spice Co się dzieje, gdy fani RPG bez wiedzy o tworzeniu gier decydują się na stworzenie własnej? W skrócie – nic dobrego. Kiedy uruchomiłem grę, z pewnością nie spodziewałem się, że będzie to dopracowany produkt. Od pierwszych minut rozgrywki (a nawet po przeczytaniu opisu na Steamie) miałem wrażenie, że ta gra jest nieco podobna do Space Rangers. Och... jak bardzo się myliłem. Nie wiem nawet, od czego zacząć. Nie mogę znaleźć żadnych pozytywów w tej grze: - Dzieciaki, nie wciągajcie technologii internetowych do gier. A jeśli już to robicie, róbcie to dobrze. Serio, ponieważ twórcy są ograniczeni (a sądząc po zasobach, z których korzysta gra, to właśnie tak jest), próbowali stworzyć grę na WebKicie, nie przykładając do tego większej wagi, a ich wrapper pochłania ponad 1 GB RAM-u. 1 GB, Karl! Nigdy nie spodziewałem się zawieszeń i spadków FPS w takiej grze. - Błąd za błędem. W pierwszym sektorze możesz zostać zaatakowany przez piratów. Ich statek porusza się szybciej niż twój, więc te losowe spotkania są nieuniknione. Problem polega jednak na tym, że po pokonaniu wroga nic się nie dzieje; utkniesz w oknie bitwy. Jeśli …

Игра «Frontier Runner» — увлекательный шутер с элементами выживания на фоне постапокалиптической галактики. Геймплей сочетает динамичные бои, исследование заброшенных станций и решение головоломок. Графика на высоте: детализированные локации и атмосфера пустоты добавляют напряжённости. Управление интуитивно, но сложность в балансе между стрельбой и выживанием. Сюжет немного шаблонен, но захватывающие миссии компенсируют это. Рекомендую любителям жанра с элементами экшена и стратегии.

Final Fantasy XI price: what you pay, then keep paying

Boltgun 2 price: buy the sequel, or the cheap first game?

The Boltgun 2 price has no cheaper route on launch day — our record shows one listing, unmoved since September. The first game is the bargain, but a smaller one than it was.
