Stars Force

Stars Force

Its a very barebones shmup where you’ll max out your weapon quickly and see everything the game has to offer in a couple levels. You can beat the game in about 40 minutes. Its not really a bad game, but it just gets repetitive quickly as the levels tend to feel like I’m on a conveyor belt and a lot of the sections repeat over and over. Boss fights were decent though, wish there were more of them.

Void Warfare

Void Warfare

I love the weapons effects and lighting, but the ship and aiming mechanics are very wonky. The larger ships from cruiser to behemoth (mothership) are nearly as manoeuvrable as fighters, both you and the enemies. I don’t mind my ship having awesome agility, but enemy capital ships moving around like fighters is very weird to watch. Also the aiming in this game is very hard to control. The aiming sensitivity is way to high and you can’t change it in the settings. The slightest movement of the mouse throws your aim way off. It wouldn’t be as bad if there was aim assist or a lock-on feature, but there is only lock-on for missiles and it’s a very narrow lock-on window.

It’s a very rare thing that I leave a negative review or request a refund, but on this occasion I’m afraid it’s got to be done.

The idea of the game is a good one; random battles with different classes of spaceships with different loadouts and stats, one of which is supposedly a Battle Royale mode.

The reality? Every single vessel from a fighter up to the biggest cap ship dances around like…a fighter, while being ridiculously hard to hit and having the health of a rhino’s backside. The ‘Battle Royale’ mode is just a big scrap with 40 ships where you’re locked to one of three ‘Decimator’ classes.

SPL: Skilled Pilots Live

SPL: Skilled Pilots Live

This game is some straight forward honest arcade shooting fun with some nice features thrown in to keep it interesting; weapon choices , ship enhancements, crafting, loot (new), allied wingmen (new) and a ring flying game. I get my my fix of it in an 30 mins to an hour a play which is perfect for me as time is hard to come by for me . I found the game to have medium/hard difficulty, but the difficulty scales based on how you play the game and you are rewarded with a higher score and rewards etc. Too easy then go for the 100%+ encounters too hard stay around 50% and grind a bit until you get better gear. The bosses tend to be the hardest part,but all good boss battles are :) I think of it as if R type had a 3d baby with Doom, and Souls :) In its state now I would rate it above average ,but with the potential to be a great game with more guidance from the community and hard work from the developer.

A little rough around the edges, and a bit light handed on the tutorial however this game grows on you very quickly.

The combat is different from most 4x style games there is a lot of control over the ship. There are a few things I have noticed that I am sure will be fixed my biggest problem is when enemy ships are close together your ship does not seem to know who to lock onto. ( but there is a weapon type that does take care of this. ) My biggest issue with the game would be even thou it controls very nice an fluid there is a lack of feeling. (( what i mean by a lack of feeling is that it feels like your not moving. If it was not for the wave like field that is around your ship when moving i would think i was sitting still. )) All in All I would rate this game a solid 7 out of 10. An with that bottom line is the game is FUN, FLUID,EASY TO LEARN.

Moon Defence

Moon Defence

Well, first of all, Moon Defence is rule-breaker. Hit’n’run? No. Infinite ammo? No. Comics allmighty kill’em all hero? No.

It is some more serious stuff, Paratrooper © old school action in 3D with real world economics and physics. Aiming is hard, movements are slow, resources are hard to earn.

Аnd don’t forget, you are just an engineer at the Moon, with handmade laser hammer and dusty solar panel. Let’s call it “casual hardcore”. Stop farming infinite vegetables, try to aquire some more jigowatt in empty space, where no one can hear your scream. Moon is a harsh mistress.

This game is overpriced and is a shocker to play. You run out of ammunition so quickly then you are well and truly stuffed. The controls are awkward to use and the radar is next to useless. I wish I had not even bothered with this overpriced game. A good idea but poorly executed. The graphics are okay but it is just so frustrating to play you give up.

This game is the pinnacle of perfection. Through hard craftmanship was you able to make such a fine specimen of a game. This game is the PEAK of gaming history. Through perseverance and persistance are you able to make it through the waves. Determination is a huge factor in playing and I will be remist if I didn’t mention the graphics of the game. 10/10 would recommend and would definitely play again. Thank you for the amazing work you put into the game and may the game prosper for years to come.
