Epic and Ambitious. Throwback and forward thinking as well. Very well executed Horror Arcade game. 8/10 Needs more content, and a bit more cooking, but the seasoning is just right!!7 found this helpful
Outer Terror is an exhilarating space exploration game that took me on a thrilling journey across the cosmos. From its stunning visuals to its gripping gameplay, this game is a must-play for any fan of the sci-fi genre. First and foremost, let's talk about the visuals. Outer Terror boasts some of the most breathtaking graphics I've ever seen in a game. From the vast expanse of space to the intricately detailed planets and star systems, every moment feels like a work of art. Whether you're cruising through asteroid fields or navigating the treacherous terrain of alien worlds, the visuals never fail to impress. But what truly sets Outer Terror apart is its sense of exploration and discovery. As you pilot your spaceship through the vast reaches of space, you'll encounter a diverse array of planets, moons, and celestial phenomena, each with its own secrets waiting to be uncovered. Whether you're scanning for resources, engaging in intense space battles, or making first contact with alien civilizations, every moment feels like an adventure of epic proportions. Of course, no space exploration game would be complete without its fair share of challenges, and Outer Terror delivers in spa…6 found this helpful
Outer Terror is an unparalleled comic cosmic horror gaming experience. solid fun.5 found this helpful
Good game but unfortunately the progression is too slow. It takes many hours grinding to level up even a small amount.4 found this helpful
Got to say the game surprised and delivered. I like the POV and the pacing of the game pushes you to react and allows you to choose to play with the story elements or just go ham on a shooting spree. Really easy play and go concept, with depth in terms of the replay-ability as you try to earn enough for the upgrades, which can be steep, but feel rewarding once you get a grove going.4 found this helpful
When age fell upon the world, and wonder went out of the minds of men; when grey cities reared to smoky skies tall towers grim and ugly; in whose shadow none might dream of the sun or of spring's flowering meads; when learning stripped earth of her mantle of beauty, and poets sang no more save of twisted phantoms seen with blared and inward-looking eyes; when these things had come to pass, and childish hopes had gone away forever, there was a man who traveled out of life on a quest into the spaces whither the world's dreams had fled.3 found this helpful
