Save The Astronaut

Save The Astronaut

Such an amazing game from an unknown developer! The asking price should honestly be around atleast $5, $2 is a steal for this hidden gem! I really loved the NES vibes. The game is fast paced, rewarding, and challenging! I actually find myself coming back to it time and time again! If you’re reading this review you need to give this game a chance, it took me about 40 minutes to beat it! This is one of my all time favorite indie games, and i can’t wait for a sequel!

Being someone who knows the creator of this game, this was there 1st game ever made. And it’s a nice 1st game and it’s got that classic NES vibe if not possibly an older console or something along those lines. The game is a challenging & fast paced type of experience if you’re into a good challenge kinda game. I like how there’s no lives system, so you don’t have to worry about getting a game over all the time on difficult sections. The price is not high either with it just being a couple bucks. Without a doubt a nice little game to play if you’re feeling nostalgic for the good ol' days of gaming. I’m proud of my friend being able to create a fun little game to play, and i look forward to seeing where this game and he goes from here on out in the future. The only thing i will say that is a bit of a downer, not that it’s bad or anything is that. Since it’s made on the Unreal Engine, it can be very demanding for performance at times. So just a little heads up for those who have computers who might not be the strongest in the world. But overall though, i recommend this game for the classic vibe of the old school gamers who still love the classics

Volcanoids

Volcanoids

It’s a bit more objective oriented than the usual craft/survival game I’m familiar with, especially with the cyclic nature of needing to dive underground with your mobile base during the frequent disasters. Having it as a mobile base was rather refreshing compared to other settings where the base is in one location and that tends to make resources convenient or not. The version I played was a while ago, and at the time battle was rather simple, and there didn’t seem to be too much benefit to use any weapon aside the hand mortar and grenades but I have to emphasize that was during the version I played.

Gun play is fun, and it’s exciting to see your ship being built bigger and bigger. The hot keys were a little weird at first but not unacceptable. Overall, I like it.

Mr. Prepper: Prologue

Mr. Prepper: Prologue

The Meta:

This is a free prologue, as a feature-limited demo of the full game which expands upon the content that was made available in the demo from July. You have absolutely no reason not to try this.

I’ve played rather extensively through the beta testing, and can attest that the devs are incredibly responsive to the player community, both for bug fixing and implementing player-suggested improvements or modifications, and I fully expect that behavior to apply to the full game.

The game includes no microtransactions.

Originally, I thought the prologue would end in 30 days at most, but later I found out that I was still too young and naive. On the first day of the second month, I angrily ate all my food. I have many cans which used all the money I made to buy, and with lots of blueberry milkshakes and carrot soup. It’s ridiculous that I didn’t have diarrhea after eating it all! Ok, I have to quit the game in dismay!

Talk about the advantages and shortcomings of this game. This game is still very creative, painting style is good, it is said that the official version has more content. In terms of content, the game is undoubtedly a success. But the game also has some shortcomings:

Mr. Prepper

I’ll be honest and say that I wasn’t sure if I liked it the first few hours but boy did I change my mind. I was expecting to actually have to survive in the shelter I created and see the aftermath of the wasteland left after the world goes to hell and I was puzzled as to why this sort of game play wasn’t added in but it’s still a fantastic base building , survival game and I hope they’ll add DLC in the future, where you’ll actually be able to survive in the bunker or even get to experience what happens after landing the rocket .

Mr. Prepper. A survival base building game that’s not about survival and not about base building but purely story-driven.

TL;DR: If you can get it cheap (10 USD/EUR), give it a shot. But if you want a survival challenge or expect another game like This War Of Mine, STAY AWAY. It has SO much unused potential. It could be so much more.

PROS:

  • Interesting story. Mr. Prepper is not your average guy.

  • The typical “just one more day” game design that sucks you in.

  • 3 (4) NPCs you interact with that are all kinda likable.

The soldier in the mine

The soldier in the mine

Terrible game. But it will still sell to achievement nuts like me…

Movement isn’t linear. The character’s speed ramps up and down. Makes it very difficult to navigate fine movement around traps.

Character often gets stuck on boxes and ledges. Very buggy.

You get what you paid for, 1.2K achievements at minimum price. If you’re an achievement hunter looking to increase the number of achievements on your profile showcase, then I highly recommend buying this. Else don’t waste your money. This is not a game, it’s just a way of distributing achievements.
