The game's story is a mixed bag, with some players finding it engaging and well-integrated into the gameplay, while others feel it lacks depth and emotional impact. Although the narrative features intriguing quest givers and a grand sci-fi vision, many missions are perceived as repetitive fetch quests, and dialogue choices often feel inconsequential. Technical issues, such as janky text formatting, detract from the overall storytelling experience, but the voice acting and character interactions are generally praised.
“In the game, you play as the pilot of a Blazingsky FTL starship on a mission to explore and save the galaxy overrun by hostile alien creatures.”
“On the surface, this game plays like asteroids, but as you discover the stories of each of the quest givers and the intricate sci-fi world that the game is based in, each of the missions starts to make more sense, have more purpose, and give you a sense of a grand sci-fi vision!”
“This game does not disappoint - and keeps me on my toes, always wanting to turn the next page of the story of the well-acted characters I discovered so far - and I highly recommend it!”
“Some aspects of the game felt a bit underdeveloped: I never got caught up in the story, and my dialog choices didn't seem to matter.”
“The storylines can be a bit janky at times, and in its current state, there are quite a few issues in the second half of the game where apostrophes and extra line breaks make the text less than ideal.”
“The latter being what BlazingSky was aiming for, but in truth, the game is a glorified fetch quest with the potential of your soda can spaceship being ripped apart by a stray laser blast.”
