Stella Pastoris

Stella Pastoris

After the Third Flame Deluge, the Vatican launched the last handful of the faithful into the void.

After a thousand years Stella Pastoris, the ship’s AI, struggles to keep the crumbling vessel and the precious sleep chambers functioning. Damaged by a passing comet’s tail, the ship plunges towards the nearest world, a class E planet bathed in radiation from a nearby pulsar.

As the ancient reactor begins to fail, it is inevitable that the sleeping faithful will awaken. They will need food, shelter, and most of all…hope.

  • Build the means to supply the needs of the ever growing ranks of faithful, both material and spiritual

  • Face the Void, on Proxima death is certain…or is it?

  • Let your faith sustain you, or embrace science

  • Explore the world to find the scarce resources needed to survive

  • Research an alien world’s resources to face its dangers

I would absolutely recommend this exceptionally unique and very deep RTS, but be aware that it’s not for everyone and the game still needs some fine tuning.

There are quite a few negative reviews that never game a fair chance, and one that suspected it was a scam because of a major issue preventing some people from playing. I can verify that issue has definitely been resolved - however, there are still some minor bugs/issues.

Get this game if:

-You like well-crafted, deep real-time strategy games that are turn-based.

It’s 2021, I’m riding around on a bug mount I farmed in Classic WoW with the help of some sick bros. I just figure let’s look around for some bug games, stumble upon this beauty. If you enjoy games like Civ, give it a try, plan on staying in my own colony digging to the bottom of this game and a bottle suntory. If you’re a gamer, like me who reads these reviews, you will not be disappoint. Now let me get back to that bottle.

Destroy It

Destroy It

“Destroy it” is like a developer test room with only one function: Ragdoll collision. Choose from two houses and a satellite to destroy, click and drag your mannequin, then realize the money spent was a waste. I’d consider this at risk of removal for being some sort of potential asset flip.

Lacking any sort of features or customization, the application opens to a menu with three structures to choose from. Once selected, the said structure spins wildly next to a limp dummy you’re intended to control. No on-screen instructions explain how to do this, but it’s not difficult to discover that the mouse serves to anchor and pull him into the building. There is no environment to speak of, just a large void atop an infinite plane. You can control the camera with WASD keys and rotate with the right mouse button. And that’s about it.

Great game, besides the repetetive music and way to simple gameplay and bugs and only 3 very badly designed levels it was great. 11,5/10

It’s a pretty fun game overall, not the type to endlessly keep drilling game mechanics into your head, as Paradox would like you to have it, but still not overly simple. The core mechanics are solid, and these days that seems like something not even major game studios are able to accomplish, so the game gets a major thumbs up from me. The graphics are simple, which is not to say they’re bad. They’re easy on the eyes, very clean and they look very indie-esque, which is something I absolutely adore. The only thing I find it lacking is an officially licensed Sabaton music pack, but it probably wouldn’t be very fitting in this game, so I’ll let it slide just this once. The UI is a bit clunky, but as far as UI flaws go that’s about it, it displays information effectively and it’s pretty simple to understand. The selling point for me is how frequent and well documented the updates are, these days even a minuscule amount of commitment has fallen completely out of our scopes of expectations from game devs, only further driving the point of how great the game is. Suffice it to say that I do solemnly recommend this game.

Planet’s Edge

Planet’s Edge

When the alien craft entered Earth’s solar system, the human race was alive with excitement. However, when it was accidentally fired upon, the consequences were dire. In a burst of electromagnetic energy, the entire planet Earth disappeared, leaving its gravity well and the moon behind.

In this open world, sci-fi role-playing game, you are part of the Moon base team on a desperate mission to bring Earth back. You must assemble and equip your crew, customize your ship and set out in search of unique parts to create the Centauri Drive, a device your team hopes will reverse the electromagnetic phenomenon that swallowed Earth.

Travel between dozens of stars, harvest resources to repair and upgrade your equipment, meet and negotiate with friendly (and hostile) aliens, and do whatever it takes to stay alive and bring Earth back.

Planet’s Edge features:

  • An open-ended story driven by the player

  • Dynamic, real-time spaceship combat

  • Mining, trading and puzzle solving

  • Turn-based ground combat

  • Customize and upgrade your ship for any situation

  • Select your crew (or clone a new one) and equip them for success
