RFA Station

Mr developer, if you ever read this, keep your head up high. You're in a rough patch now but i know that you'll eventually rise from the pit you've sunk into. From this small game, it's clear to see the passion and creativity you have for your work. This drive you have to give it your all is admirable, and I hope it takes you far in other avenues. Hope you get back on your feet and back into game development eventually. Best wishes from myself and the rest of the community <3

RFA Station is, well, at face value an asset flipped FPS. Indeed, I was going to go into the usual warnings to gamers about this being a zero value asset flip, and that's still largely true. However, the developer released the source code on Github, which kind of works against the general unethical nature of asset flipping (although I can't wait for another asset flipper to grab that code and dump it straight back onto Steam with their own name on it... the circle of asset flips!) However that then poses a difficult problem... while the developer has gone above and beyond by releasing source code (a truly noble thing to do that creates a permanent, standing contribution to the body of video gaming and the industry), they're still trying to charge money for this, even if you could just pull the code and roll your own version for free. Charging money for free stuff is not okay. At the end of the day all that matters is whether this would be a fun game for you, the gamer. And the answer is no. In terms of gameplay, this is a weak and unpolished exercise in plodding through FPS levels on a space station or whatever and blasting robots. If you really love FPS games, then my adv…

RFA Station has a lot going for it - both in how it looks and how it plays. It nails that 90s-early 2000s gaming vibe in a way that feels super nostalgic, and it’s clear the developer knows how to capture a great atmosphere. There’s real potential here to be something special. That said, the game doesn’t just feel ubfinished, it is unfinished, and selling it in this state isn’t the best move, even if times are tough for the developer. Honestly, even a simple endless mode - like a wave-based survival setup - would’ve made the game feel more polished and complete. The developer should be upfront about this. Players will be more understanding if they know what to expect. Pretending it’s fully done when it’s not just makes things harder for everyone. Still, I see the passion behind this project, and I hope the dev gets a chance to revisit it someday. There’s a lot of talent on display, and I’d love to see what RFA Station could become with more time and work. Don’t give up - this could really be something great! I hope, should there ever come a time in which it is fully developed, there is story as well. Just don't give up, Mr. Dev! I hope to see this game miraculously finished eve…
