Nonentity Galaxy

Ai generated assets are all over the place, starting with the ankward UI, visually busy background art and disparate face cards. The dialogue specially is painfully "AI-coded", with non-sensical ramblings that goes back and forth for way too long, making this feel more of a VN with gameplay on the side. Speaking of gameplay, it's a vibe coded auto-battler, which admittedly is decent enough from the little that I've tolerated playing. But I simply can't stand the rest of the AI generated presentation, and again, seeing as the dialogue and story want to take themselves way too seriously, I'm gonna pass on this one.

Weak translation, solid gameplay. The mechanics are slightlty obscure and the whole worldbuilding reads like it was written by a disgruntled Tencent employee (which I can relate to, as I am also a corporate peon), but the actual gameplay is solid. You'll build a fleet using pre-made ships, each ship having its own passive effect. Modules can be added to ship to combine with their passives, and ships can be placed on a large grid with ship placement being relevant. You want your fleet formation to maximize adjecency for some modules, but you also want to squeeze as many ships on your board as possible. The game follows a STS-like navigation, where you have to choose from a variety of combat encounters, events and shops. The meta progression is all about grinding money to buy more ships so you can create more fleets for a variety of situations. Fleets can be influenced with passive elements before leaving (Cores for buffs, wager contracts and pilot abilities to impact your profit margin either lowering it to make the game easier or heightening it to make the game harder). Fleet combat plays like an autobattler, on which you can use pilot abilities (mothership support) and…

是个好游戏，要是能长点内容再多点就好了——包括能通过游戏内努力结局稍微再好点什么的（

Its an alright little game. I have such delusions of grandeur for the game but as is, I would recommend it at half price. I wish the ship power levels weren't in such obvious tiers. Some more horizontal progression would go a long way to introduce some variety to the fleet compositions. I wish the VN elements had more bite to it and much less repetition. The eternal "visual novel curse" is in full effect here too. Since the writer fears the players could have skipped an important passage they repeat every interaction five times, so the player is less likely to read it all and skip dialogue, meaning there's higher chance an important passage is skipped so the writer repeats more dialogue over and over. And VNs that waste your time by making the player re-read passages suck. I wish i wouldn't feel like every background artworks for the hub departments were A.I. generated images with a mosaic filter slapped ontop. Once suspicion of AI assets being stealthily used sets in, it poisons the entire experience. Luckily the stops in the hub are short enough to forget about it once an expedition starts and thankfully the ships and space backdrops lack the "AI-feel".

Pretty fun game. Interesting story, good gameplay mechanics.
