INSPIRE

[code]Written By Hidden Gems Review : https://store.steampowered.com/curator/38624426/, Follow me! [/code] INSPIRE is a Open World action RPG game. For a single developer it's a great job doing a open world but sinces it's only 1 dev in a open world there are a lot of bugs for get fix and the game looks more like an alpha than a final product. The gameplay is good and the flyng jetpack is a wonderfull idea but for me at the currect state can't recommend the game since has some very big problems with bugs like when you load the game it resets all the money you have for purchase new guys in the shop or things like that which make the experience very frustrating.

Despite asking twice on the Discussion boards about an issue with the controller (the right trigger regularly doesn't work, despite there being NO issue with the controller [I've tested it]; and the first time asked was 6+ weeks ago, at the time of writing), no support or response has been provided. The game has seemingly been abandoned in a less-than-functional state in a way that, frankly, isn't acceptable. The game looked really interesting, but to receive NO response or help is incredibly disappointing. Requested a refund, which I didn't want to do, as I was wanting to actually play the game, but its abandonment, and the inability to properly play the game, has left me with no choice.

Excellent game! The combat loop is really fun and engaging, the open world is pretty big and encourages exploration. The enemy variety is shockingly good, I wish some AAA games put this kind of effort into designing their enemy types. Overall the game offers quite a lot - from enemy types to gun types to power-ups and abilities, it has a lot of room to experiment and find your own play style. The combat is not easy, but not gratuitously hard, I think enemies' spawn rate and sponginess are pretty well balanced. I was playing on "Normal" difficulty and some regions were quite challenging and forced me to experiment with weapon choices and abilities. Love it! I also love that the game doesn't hold your hand and points you to exact coordinates with exact steps to solve a problem, like a lot of modern and big budget games do. It actually lets you figure things out on you own, which I really appreciate. And of course there's the music! This game is easily in my top-3 favorite video game soundtracks. Music and sound design in this are absolutely top notch! My only issue is I want more regions to explore and more enemies to kill :D Overall I definitely recommend this game! For a sol…

Review Update 5/2/2024 --------------------------------- I recommend wishlisting this but do not recommend purchasing it in its current state. It's clear for a solo dev to put this together, they care about the game very much. But at $14.99 this is only $5 less than a fully cooked game with hours of game play. I would have refunded this within 5 minutes if it wasn't a solo dev project. This should not be in early release yet. It is really in alpha. There are features there but they don't come together into a cohesive game. Basic things like: earning money to buy stuff, healing / damage balance, combat balance, XP / leveling. I would feel silly for having paid $5 for this...let alone three times that. I get it. development takes time, even more so as a solo developer. And you have this thing that is sitting on your computer and you're like "I want to get feedback, I want people to play this thing I've been putting money and time into for a year." But you have one first impression to make for your game, and in its current state this is just an assortment of ideas that haven't been fully realized into a fun game with a high price tag. It's not beyond saving, but probably the wors…

I've been following INSPIRE for some time and I must say this is a unique fast past and visually beautiful game. It's only grown since it's release and the Developer Nick is an absolute legend and deserves your love! Play it for yourself But I can't recommend this enough

I am always looking for top down shooters and Inspire peaked my interest during the Autumn sale. I am not super into the game so far and will continue to give it a shot, but for now I would not recommended it at full price but can say on sale it has enough fun to give it a shot. Pros -Fun movement abilities. -Interesting active abilities. -Interesting vertical movement with jet pack -Easy to pick up Cons -Guns feel bland. I have use 5 at this point and only the shotgun feels fun -Modifications are unclear, adding some numerical values would be nice - Very hard to see attacks, I am colorblind and am facing death because I just cant see attacks. - Map and quest tracking is poor - Doesnt do a good job of highlighting shop locations etc.
