It Stares Back

First I just want to get it out of the way that

! for no apparent reason at all the store page us calling it 4x which immediately shaves respect points for the dev doing that. It’s my one real criticism which is a minor thing except that words have meaning. You can’t just call things whatever you want. Then other idiots get misinformed until all Steam or GOG becomes a massive dumpster fire and people start not even realizing just how the fuck to make games anymore with enough misinformation. So, it’s a casual RTS, or RTS-lite. It has nothing whatsoever to do with 4x in the slightest and it bothers me maybe even less than confuses me how the hell a game dev could make that much of a mistake without doing it on purpose

Was introduced to It Stares Back through the Reddit post they made to advertise it, and instantly fell in love with the artstyle of this game, and was enamoured by the lore weaving together the world it’s based in. Cosmic horror, biopunk, and post apocalyptica seamlessly weave together to form the world of the Great Tapestry, a grotesquely beautiful hellscape beset by a ravenous, deafening, void. As the Noble Guide, you are tasked with ripping the souls of long dead soldiers from the earth to fight it back.

Ripknot Systems is a shovelware developer, spamming out crap games in order to raise game counts and completion %. With that said, I enjoyed this game for what it is.

Small drones, shooting fighters, destroyers, and Galaga-shaped cruisers chase and fire upon you as you try to destroy all of the ship spawning bases. Left click to fire, right click to fire an energy ball that goes through everything in its' path. Simple, repetitive, but I enjoyed it and my kids want to get it now.

To the Devs, if you’re reading: this could be an awesome game with a level-up system, powerups, a mini-map, better/more variety enemies. Also a tutorial wouldn’t hurt, as I think there’s more than 2 weapons.

Clunky, cheap, and not entertaining.

Same Developer from “Trivia Vault” where you unlock 5k Achievements at once. Avoid like the plague.
