Starlight Inception™™

30fps LOCKED. This alone should be enough reason to avoid it. I sadly bought it when it was in EA and you can see how much playtime I have got out of it. Just don't do it. The developer seems to of vanished also, No forum posts for years, and the only game this developer\publisher produced after this was a year later, and used this games assets and is also abandoned.

Poor graphics, unpolished mechanics and derivative gameplay

Game is kinda trashy. Didn't have fun with it.

awful game, never buy this

I bought this game on one of the old steam sales which means it was pretty cheap, and it was early access, so i though it would be a little clunky but functional. It was not, animation was awful, story was awful, campaign was awful and the controls were just abysmal, even with mouse targeting the aim in the center would snap in pre-fixed positions, like if you could turn 360 degrees but actually only in increments of one, 1º, 2º, 3º and so on but never 1.5 or any subdivision for that matter, it was just unplayable. But hey, early access right, all of those could be just placeholder mechanics just so they can show anything at all and get money flowing, i get it, lets just wait for it to release. And so it did. While they did fix the controls a little bit it was still very clunky, clunky but playable, so lets see what else they can offer. Animation, still terrible, i dont know why they even bothered to include some outside ship sequences but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ it was bad. Actual space, ok, not amazing, not terrible, it is decent, models are kinda nice, the background art is kinda nice, weapons are at the low end. Campaing, horrible, look... i have 20 hours clocked in, that's a respecta…

It's pretty rare for a game to go through Kickstarter, early access, make it to a 1.0 version and even get major updates past that yet somehow still be broken and full of bugs. Starlight Inception was created for both PC and PS Vita and playing it, it becomes very apparent that the Vita was the focus here. Poor options, poor controls and terrible optimization plague all that is Starlight Inception. The package is made complete by the boring dogfights, the way-too-good aim assist and the general lack of AI in your enemies. A shame that a game that received this much attention should remain so terrible.
