About Saturn

✦ AI summary

Saturn is a tactical RPG where you have just 3 days to stop a rogue AI signal from destroying humanity by commanding forces on Earth while remotely controlling robots on Saturn's moons. With time-flowing-only-for-you combat, multiple weapon options, and branching choices that reshape the story, you'll experiment across multiple cycles to uncover the mystery and save civilization.

"Saturn" is a tactical RPG set on Earth and the moons of Saturn.A mysterious signal from space causes the AI of machines to rebel against their creators across the entire Solar System. Defend Earth from the threat and connect with the robots on Saturn's moons to stop the apocalypse. You only have 3 days to save the world.

Explore the World of the Future

The year is 2062, a new era in space exploration. ARKA from Russia, Huang-Di from China, and BUF from Britain have established research stations throughout the Solar System.The discovery of a new form of communication—ether threads—has enabled more efficient space exploration using robots and drones. From Earth, operators of the "Reflection" program remotely control machines in real time. Thanks to their work, research stations have been built on the major moons of Saturn, where international expeditions have been working for the past twenty years.

Stop the End of the World

Scanners indicate that a malicious signal is traveling through the ether threads from somewhere in Saturn’s orbit. Only through the "Reflection" program on Earth can the source of the threat be discovered, the mystery of the disaster that has struck humanity unraveled, and the world saved.Time is running out. There is no escape from the crazed robots, neither on Earth nor in space. A civilization dependent on robots and new technologies faces disaster with significant human casualties unless the catastrophe is averted.

On Earth and Saturn

You are Akim Kovalev, a scientist and one of the top operators of the "Reflection" program. Your life's work was deemed obsolete and shut down two years ago. Stop the catastrophe and prove that both "Reflection" and you still have a place in this world.Save your colleagues and friends on Earth while gathering information about what's happening. Connect to and control robots on Saturn’s moons through "Reflection" to uncover the mysterious signal that is driving the machines insane.

Experiment and Think Tactically

Time in combat flows only for you. Use it to carefully plan your tactics and strategy. You have a wide array of weapons at your disposal, ranging from melee to powerful laser and electromagnetic cannons. Fight on Earth yourself and through robots on Saturn.Death is not the end. Failures along the way will return you to the start of the cycle. Use this to try different weapons and combat approaches. As many times as it takes...

Make Important Decisions

Solve emerging problems in different ways. The lives on Earth and the fate of the entire world depend on your choices. Negotiate or take an aggressive approach—the outcome of the game is shaped by your actions.Restart the cycle, make different decisions, and experience different outcomes. Experiment and find your own way to stop the catastrophe!

Seems like a decently made RPG. But the fact that it is financed by a Russian organisation with aleged intentions to finance games that spreads propaganda makes my skin crawl.

A lot of AI hype, a ton of propaganda, awful Russian voice acting, and a pretty clichéd story.\ And yet, somehow, the actual gameplay is surprisingly fun. The combat system is interesting, the weapons are varied and satisfying to use, the enemies are genuinely cool, and the immersion mechanics work much better than I expected. The presentation and writing really dragged the game down for me, but the gameplay itself kept me interested.

Рогалик в жанре научной фантастики. Дайте два. Графика уместна, музыка и звуки справляется, стилистика отличная, интерфейс рабочий(хотя слайдер у полосы прокрутки, можно было бы сделать и пошире, хотя это у все сейчас так). Геймплей - это рогалик. Сделано качественно, есть интересные моменты(как я сгорел от паука). Управление так себе. Нельзя двигать персонажа зажав ЛКМ, нужно постоянно нажимать. Интерфейс иногда мешает прицеливаться в противников. Раздражает постоянная анимация открытия инвентаря(и окна персонажа), одного раза было бы достаточно. Особенно хочется отметить возможность выбора. Надоедливая манерная баба в зелёном(с пальцем у рта, как у Доктора Зло) отказавшая выдать коды, была просто застрелена. Очень приятно. А вот то что нет альтернатив(или я не нашёл) открытия двери к той самой бабе и "убийства руки" при втором заходе к профессору это минус. Теперь жду Сатурн: Наследие.

A pleasant game with a unique story. Definitely worth playing, especially considering the price (free). The worldbuilding / plot in this game is original enough that it could be used for many other games and media set in the same world. It would be exciting to see other games or a TV series based on this. The graphics are well done, but not anything spectacular (although I have pretty old hardware and haven't played many new games on high settings, so I don't have much to compare it to). There are plenty of original, beautiful locations -- on Earth and on the surface of Saturn's moons. The time change function affects the lighting of the earthbound locations, adding a bit of variety to the settings. The narrated audio seems to be only in Russian, unless there's a setting that I missed, but there are subtitles for everything, so it's not hard to follow the story. In general, the sound is all right. At first, it seems like the game isn't guiding the player enough. For example, when given the task to find certain "keys", the game doesn't give any clues on where they can be found, requiring the player to search blindly. But this is actually intentional, because the game…

It’s not a bad game. It feels somewhat unfinished, though. It’s a shame that even the DLC didn't add a way to break the cycle and "beat" the game.
