*Experiences Will Vary.

Story & Lore:

Several months ago, the Lab went black… Communications were lost with the outside worlds.

Residents on-board have no idea what triggered the Lab into stasis that released the dangerous exhibits to roam throughout the cargo-holds to search for sustenance.

Everyone and everything on the Lab has been reduced to utilizing whatever resources they have or can find to survive, not knowing when, or even if, help would arrive.

In the deep of space, you board the seemingly dead ghost ship…

Station 35

Station 35

Ran into a few quirks with the ai and some interaction prompts but other than that, my friend and I had a really good time with this. I got spooked pretty good a few times but I managed to escape! It’s a pretty simple but well put together game aside from a few issues.

I love the weird stuff, especially in horror games. The kind of stuff you have to dig 40 pages into the tags to find, stuff that has 0-10 reviews. Is it good? Who knows! Station 35 is the weird stuff. Of writing, this game has one single review and I found it by digging about 40-50 pages into the horror tag. So, is it good? tl;dr, yes.

This game speaks of a passion project. It’s perfect by no means and rings with design that is amateur, but it’s very much made with love. You often hear people tell others, “why don’t you make your own game if you want X?” and it feels like someone set out to do just that with Station 35. The game reads like your classic sci-fi horror: aliens on the ship, you need to get out. To do so, you are presented with three possible exits, one on each floor of a sprawling and dark spaceship. Each exit has three items it requires, be they keys or tools or ship parts, before you can use it to escape. Each of these items is scattered randomly throughout the ship, leaving you sneaking down corridors and into rooms trying to find that damned red key card since the yellow opened the first door and this blue one won’t do the trick for the second. As you do this, you’re presented with two main hazards: the blind, docile creatures that inhabit the hangars and the roving monstrosity that prowls the ship.

Alien Shooter 2 - The Legend

Alien Shooter 2 - The Legend

I’ve been playing Sigma Team’s games for years, and I really like Alien Shooter 2 - The Legend. As someone who has played through AS2 - Reloaded and ZS2 a bunch of times, there is a LOT that I like in this game that expands on the previous titles in interesting but not too overly complicated ways. But there ARE issues with this game that will hopefully be patched in future updates.

I may make a longer post about pros and cons somewhere in the discussions. But for now, I’m going to share only the most enjoyable pros and annoying cons I’ve experienced in my current play through (not as much of a review for new players as more of a feedback report for the developers and any other players familiar with their games).

With update 1.3 the developers finally addressed a major point of criticism: They made the repetitive filler missions optional (destroy X teleporters, kill X aliens, hold position for X minutes, collect X ammo, food, metal, bones, artifacts). Now you can skip them and only do the real campaign missions. This has reduced the amount of mandatory missions to about 70 from a 150 total. This change was very welcome.

At this point I considered a thumbs up, but there’s one thing holding me back: they added an artificial weapon recoil, which makes your crosshair move upwards every single shot. And it only moves up, up, up, and never back. This constantly forces you to reposition your mouse, even when targeting static spots, makes you miss monsters, and shoot walls instead of the actual target. It’s absolutely annoying. This feature has to be removed.

Gooberries

Gooberries

If you’re looking for a cute farm sim, with a unique concept, this is it! At first blush it seems quite simple, but after an hour or so, you start to see more complexity and the pace picks up. The goobers are very cute and, as you play through, you’ll discover the humour of the dev shining through in some very entertaining ways.

I only played a few hours because of time constraints, but I’ll be back into it. Its very fun, and I enjoyed playing it a lot!

It’s a farming simulator in early access, so of course there are some things being ironed out. Luckily the dev is really cool and willing to hear out when players are having issues. I will say there’s not much of an endgame really, i.e. there’s a point where you can easily hit the peak of the gameplay and you won’t find much content left. The dev does post frequent updates about adding content. It just takes time since he’s a solo dev. All things considered, it’s a cute little game that I’m sure I can enjoy playing with my son. He really likes the characters, especially the Goobers.

Archon-9 : Alien Defense

Archon-9 : Alien Defense

An excellent RTS game!

I like the dark gritty visual style; it makes a nice change from the more cartoonish games of this type that seem to be more common.

The control system is intuitive, and it’s neat how play can be switched between the drone view and the map view. There are some times in the game when the drone is either out of action or is recharging, so it’s useful to switch to the map view, and i find myself relying on the marine head cameras to see what is going on in the battle which is another really nice feature, adding some realism.

Alien Hallway

Alien Hallway

Well the title says it all, Alien Hallway, to be blunt aliens in hallways, that is all there is to the game. To say it was made simple is an understatement, this game is so basic in nature that even a little child can play it.

It’s like the most basic version of lane defense/attacking that you can think of, Tug of war like game, you have no actual control over the game at all, you pretty much spawn soldiers and they walk by themselves down the hallway towards the aliens, the fighting and everything is done automatically, you have controls over the grenades and that’s it. That is it for the entire game, there is no noticeable changes to the actual gameplay, as you play you earn money which can be spent after missions to upgrade your soldiers, as the levels progress more aliens and soldiers are unlocked.

“Get ready to send marines to kill aliens that no man’s seen before!”

That, my friend, is the plot of Alien Hallway in one sentence. Sorry for spoiling it. Alien Hallway is a light strategy game where you only manage the finances and hiring troops, who handle the destruction by themselves.

Drones get you money by scavenging electronics. With money you can send marines to destroy the alien teleporter, the objective of every level. The marines are AI controlled and you can only choose, when to throw their grenades. At the same time you must not allow the aliens to destroy your base.

Rogue Invader

Rogue Invader

In Rogue Invader, YOU are the invader attacking the alien horde in this genre-flipping roguelite shooter. Game-play resembles 1-Bit black and white old-school games, with modern touches and HD graphics.

Twenty years ago, the Zenos began invading terran colonies, leaving a trail of death and tears in their wake. Terrans fought back, one planet at a time, while building a fleet to stab at the Zeno home-world.

You arrive with that fleet, just after a series of massive space battles in which all supply ships have been destroyed. You are left with a huge invasion army but no supplies to invade with other than one drop-pod, and one pistol.

Two thumbs up from me. Perhaps the game doesn’t exactly reinvent the wheel, but it has it’s own verve, it’s own charm. I wanted to wait until I had more time under my belt before giving a review, but I’m so pleased by this that I couldn’t wait. I stumbled on this while searching for open world survival craft games. I already have things like Ark for my Xbox One, I was looking for something….. I’m not sure what I was looking for…. something a little different. And “something a little different” is exactly what this is, and I’m totally stoked. Perhaps this might not be for everyone, but I’m digging it :)
