Space Captain McCallery - Episode 3: The Weaponmaster's Challenge

I look forward to more episodes, especially after that ending.

Bought this game because the visuals looked pretty fascinating, but didn't know what to expect really. I know this dev makes a lot of these visually similar games. Finally took the plunge. The music was actually really great! Reminded me a lot of Phantasy Star Yamaha synth. Wasn't expecting it tbh. Pros: Pretty fun visual design along the lines of PS1/N64, good music, challenging. Also plenty of control customization. Unexpectedly fun cinematic camerawork in some of the cut scenes, etc. Cons: A little buggy, and gameplay's a little rough around the edges, but that's to be expected with smaller indie development. Part of the charm really. I think if I had played the first 2 episodes, I would have had more of an onboarding process in terms of understanding how the game's mechanics work. Recharging the ammo was lost on me because I thought it was charging to shoot a more powerful bullet, so I basically played on hard mode the entire time throwing rocks at bosses lol. Decent puzzles and has some charm for such a short game. Grabbed it on sale and had a fun time for 90 minutes. Felt like I got my money's worth out of it for sure. Bought some other games from this same dev I'm lookin…

Funny lil rocks.

Captain McCallery is back at it again with a third episode in the serries. If you enjoyd t he 2nd episode, you will enjoy this one. I found it to be less linear than the others with it allowing back tracking to the start, from almost the end. The food you come across on the planet is unique compared to the other titles. They kept star fruit as a fun exploration way of increasing your health if you can find it. Some are placed within view making you scratch your head as to how to get them, others are hidden. The checkpoints in this game are very generous, if its too easy there is a no check point mode for more challenge. Overall the game was a blast and im excited to see where Episode 4 takes place!Only negative is no steam achievements are unlocking for me, despite beating the game multiple times.

Gameplay isn't the best but this is a visually unique and fun little indie game that I am glad to support. I do hope some elements get improved and become more user friendly. For example being able to target and punch dinos from the back. Found just running past enemies to be a better way a lot of the time.

Caught up on these games! This episode was a lot of fun; dinosaurs are always great, and I liked the emphasis on dangerous environments. Especially toward the end, hunger management was more of a concern that it ever had been. It also looks like a 'main plot' is forming, and I'm interested to see where that will go.
