SpaceBourne 2

Post by Solitaire » Sun Sep 17, 2023 6:35 pm

I just bought this based upon a video review of gameplay:



It's in early access, and created by one person, apparently. I'm downloading now. It seems to have a ton of content and gameplay, and should have more as time goes by. I'm happy to give this dev $20 - it looks awesome so far

I bought it but refunded, I couldn't get past the AI voice acting and general jankiness.

Make your own mind up though Soli, a lot of people seem to like it!

It must be said that it is in "very early access" and who knows how many years before it's fleshed out and not so janky with the 3rd-person stuff. But I'm willing to give it a try because it does do (or promise to do) a lot of things that I'd enjoy in a space-faring game. It's mostly AI-spoken right now, which means the team of however many there are making this didn't have to spend ten thousand hours recording people and could get a game out the gate. We can just hope they'll record the lines eventually ;)

Put plenty of hours into this (I just checked 41 hours!). It's very janky but playable.
I think I managed to get a super upgraded ship and pwned everything. Same with ground combat.

I think I sort of gave up on it when it came to system building/takeovers. It was just too much grind and obfuscated.

Definitely got my money's worth though.
