SOL: Exodus

Any space geek or astronomy lover is going to heavily enjoy this game. Story can be finished in not more than 4 hours. The game takes place in or around the orbits or atmosphere of mostly visited planets and heavenly bodies by public like UCS-1, Pluto, Triton, Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, Titan. While you will be busy saving the Solar system from an evil, don't forget to enjoy the breathtaking view of globes of all these planets, Especially the artistic impression of Neptune and Saturn just left my mouth gaped in awe. Man, for a moment, I got lost of my sense that I am actually controlling my ship on earth. I would definitely love to make a visit to Pluto, Saturn, Uranus and Titan someday. Not neptune, because its atmosphere is bit messy. I especially loved the combat system, you can use mouse - wheel to throttle and accelerate your ship up , down. The first person view of ship will put you on the boots of the commander and the thrust and sound that it produce might give your body an inertial Jerk as if you are really piloting the Ship. Just buy and you will not regret and feel the flaps of your UCS atlas wings. The best space themed game I know in existence.

Very fun little indie pilot game

Bad controls

havent played in 10 years but i think i remember it being ok. but i was 11 so i dont beleive me

Its OK. It suffers from Plane in space physics.

Sol Exodus is a slightly basic, story driven flight simulator in the same vein as X-Wing or Wing Commander, but with a lot less nuance. Don't expect detailed control, such as shield levels or gun loadouts, but just simple, mouse driven combat. Each level has you battling various waves of enemies, trying to ensure you don't afterburn too much, shoot your guns for too long (the cooldown period is outrageously long) or squander your missiles. If you do well, you'll unlock two points for the upgrade trees (incremental boosts in Guns, Health, Afterburner) - again, nothing complex. The overall effect is that of a mobile game, where you are encouraged to retry levels to achieve the best score, and thus get 2 points. However, the game is so easy that i only missed the maximum level on 1 occasion. Graphically the game is surprisingly beautiful, particularly so since it dates from 2012. It's clear that some of that is down to wonderfully detailed textures, not model work, but still, it's impressive even in 2022. Audio design is rather disappointing however: weapons sounds are reasonable, and feedback is okay, but nothing that really stands out. The story of humanity having found…
