Deported: Drain the Swamp

Deported: Drain the Swamp

It’s difficult for me to write an unbiased review, any games from Crankage Games are worth it just for the dialogues alone. Heck I’d play this just to read the cutscenes' lines. If you’ve played anything from Crankage Games before, you know what to expect. If you haven’t, what are you waiting for? They’re fun and they’re cheap.

This one is an arcade, old school gameplay. If you like a fun game without pretensions, just something fast and fun to play, give Deported a shot.

Today on my way home from work i stopped into a petrol station and snagged myself a chocolate bar for £1.15. I ate it in the car in just under 4 minutes, i enjoyed it. It probably did not do me any good but in the long term it wont have done me any harm.

When i got home i snagged a copy of Deported: Drain the swamp for 79p, i finished it in about half an hour. much better value than chocolate, and it was funny so it might of helped shed the choclate from my belly due to the light exercise of laughing.

Good story and gameplay. This game is worth of price and also is old game but is still good working on windows 10. Graphics is good for his time. Now is this graphics very low. But can’t match with new games becouse is old. We in rewiew must respect that!

I enjoyed this game years back, and now with 64bit I can still play using 32bit graphics. I remember a tip on the game to ease you in by doing some trading between Sol & the system next door so to speak using the warp. The idea is to gain as much as possible in upgrading your initial ship before doing the main quest, that is the first of the 3 Campaigns you can choose from. This made it easier at the beginning of the game. I even went as far as purchasing the biggest ship, a Carrier. The trouble with the Carrier is its very slow speed. Makes it impossible to make the destination on time, so be careful on that score as the bigger the ship the slower you get even with enhancements. I would also like to point out, when purchasing a new ship size put all enhanced engines, weapons, shields, armour, and any other pieces into storage. Only leave the 3 Command deck equipment on the old ship before purchasing the new ship, then transfer all stored equipment to the new ship. If you don,t, you will loose all of your best equipment & only have level 1 equipment on your new ship. Lastly, Always save your games to cover mistakes you forgot about or chances you took & lost everything - experience is talking here and don’t forget … enjoy yourself. While the equipment is the same as Space Empires V the game play is on 2d space, and you only get one ship to use, whatever ship you started with or purchased.

nice little chilled game, easily played ( and minimised when the boss walks in ) between working on spreadsheets etc. Nice simple and relaxed.

It’s a mobile game, fun but you’d need to spend some time to get to other galaxies (it’ll unlock more ships and crafts). Great if you like slow paced games.

Update JUL 2017:

Much has changed since this review was first posted. There’s a lot of new content, more than enough to justify the price tag in my opinion. Here’s a short list.

  • Enormous playing areas, an entire galaxy!

  • First person tools (and a weapon)

  • Harder and more diverse AI controlled enemies

  • More diverse missions

  • Automation! Woo!

I just keep coming back to this game.

This is the upteenth time I’ve revisited it, and each time it gets better. There’s a good amount of toys, things to play with, and sooo much more stuff to look forward to. Not only am I happy with how the game is now, but I’m also very excited about what’s coming in the future.

Ok, at the 350hr stage time for a review.

Firstly this is an Early Acess title in the “alpha” stage of development.

What this means is it is far from finished. So, if you want a “finished” product

wait a year or three, I reckon it will be fantastic by then if a couple of things happen*.

What i like about the game so far.

Content, hard to comment at this stage of development but so far much

better than i expected. By quite a bit.

There is quite a lot of content INSIDE** the ships, a ton of stuff came in the last patch

Terminal squad: Sentinel

A great concept of piloting a mech and fighting an alien horde through match three gameplay. You get a squadron of ‘J’s (every member of your eight woman team has a name that starts with the letter ‘J’) and must battle constantly spawning swarms of aggressive alien critters. I like the concept. The game is simple and puts you into the action right away. You level up, improve and configure each member of your troop independently. Every tenth level you will face an alien boss who will drop a new module which you can slot into your mech giving you either new or improved abilities. As you advance the levels the aliens will not only increase in strength and numbers but also hazards which affect the match three board (such as blocking sections of it).

Good game, freezes sometimes when you run out of moves, but just a simple restart solves that issue.
