    34 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized by a unique VR experience that combines active movement plotting and strategic decision-making, making it distinct from traditional 2D mechanics. While the core loop is addictive and fun, with simple controls and roguelike elements, some players feel the lack of variety limits replayability after a few runs. Overall, the game offers polished mechanics but has mixed opinions on ship control and navigation.

    • “Gameplay consists of plotting your movements for your ship and deciding when to fire, what to fire and with what weapons, plus when to boost.”
    • “Core gameplay loop is addictive and fun.”
    • “A combination of active gameplay and strategy.”
    • “But Ghost Signal does not have enough variety to justify so many playthroughs: the player will experience everything the gameplay has to offer in just 3 wins, which will take ~3-5 hours.”
    • “Really did not like the mechanics they decided on for ship control and navigation.”
    • “There's no gameplay purpose to opening/closing your hand but it would make the game feel a little less static and more responsive.”
  • graphics

    • “Roguelites are just amazing, Stellaris content is to die for, and the story was really fun to follow along, not to mention all the different tiny details hidden in the sectors.”
    • “Each run takes ~40-60 minutes, and the story campaign requires at least 11 wins with increasingly more difficult gameplay modifiers.”
