1. Added a new ship DS9.
2. Fixed the issue with background music volume being too low in certain cases.
3. Fixed the issue where equipment information was not displayed correctly on some pages.
As a launch game, been pretty good so far. They made a roguelite space shooter while keeping the perks of their older games. Part of the appeal is figuring out the combos, but should have a page exclusively listing it rather than the popup. Lots of cheap deaths right now... Little kamikaze bugs that blow up and are small and unnoticeable on ipad. Elite bosses creep up to you and ding 50 dmg, the seasonal smowflakes that add garbage on the screen and make everything worse. Also the level up is totally distracting and will get you killed if there are many things on the screen Would like ways to move and resize joystick and buttons. The View Items button is easy to press on stage complete because thats where the direction pad naturally is.
I have the desktop version and i loved it. Glad to see it on mobile. Just to set expectations though, much like most deck building roguelike/lite, the gameplay can/will start getting repetitive. But the appeal is finding an overpowered build that could steamroll everything as well as finding weapon combos.
Fun game, but there’s a couple things that are making me from really like this game. - Explanation of upgrades is terrible. There’s no way to tell what weapons do what until you have them equipped. Also, the weapons fire on their own. It would be good to add some sort explanation of the weapons and how they operate. I would also like to have weapons that I can fire on control. - Pickup of exp is extremely slow. You have a radius of pickup, but your ship doesn’t pick up everything at once. There’s a weird pickup delay buffer as if it’s picking up what dropped first, in order. I think it would make a better gameplay experience if exp was picked up at once. - The virtual touch joystick is very small in my opinion. Small enough where my ship would easily go in circles due to the diameter of the VTJ not being big enough. It’s happens frequently where there’s a lot of activity on screen and you’re trying to dodge. I think the above are easily correctable but in its current state, it’s not really fun in my opinion.
Edit: Still not fixed 2 years later…. Magic Keyboard opens up text entry on EVERY shop menu. Game is fun, and works initially with controller but needs to re-check for controller support if you tap the screen once. During the shop menu I could not select the REROLL option with the controller, so I tapped it with my finger. Then I no longer could use the controller. After I started the stage with my finger tap, the controller would no longer work, and the entire screen shifted 1/2 inch lower on the screen, and cut off the bottom. I can send a screenshot if you send me an email request.
The games is a fun horde survival game. The main issue is build balance. Projectiles are very easy build and just about any other build is extremely difficult to play. Beams are okay, but missiles and ion weapons are basically just trash. Also their rate not enough weapon options in level up cards. The only way to max out weapon slots is to take every random weapon they give you which messes up your build quite a bit. There is also no reason for the additional equipment slots, even grabbing every single weapon you’ll rarely max out your slots, let alone need extra slots.
Honestly, this is the best sci-fi space "survivors" style game on iOS. Kinda reminds me of and arcadey version of rings of Saturn on pc but with a core mechanic of vampire survivors. Could use a little more physics maybe to add additional challenge and game feel. It'd be nice to feel the weight of the different ships. I've only got the first so far so maybe the ships are different? Either way, this is a fun one
I actually own the PC version of this game as well. The Mobil version is alittle different. But does not disappoint. Super fun to play, extremely hard to master. And so many ways to build different ships of distraction! Good times all around.
If it this game didn’t crash all the time it would be a very good game. I’ll get to around 23 minutes(fast mode) or an hour regular the game crashes. I want to like this game. But it feels like ever time I start doing well the game says, “screw you” and crashes….. Don’t think this game was optimized for mobile.
Plays like a slay the spire with a large map and you keep choosing the next destination. Levelling up and gaming new weapons and other stuff...
