  • gameplay9 mentions

    The gameplay is a mixed bag, with some players finding it engaging and atmospheric due to its charming art and music, while others criticize it as boring and too simplistic. Although it features various mini-games and mechanics reminiscent of classic titles, many feel it lacks depth and could benefit from additional systems, such as ship upgrades. Overall, it offers a nostalgic experience that combines different gameplay elements, but may not satisfy those seeking more complexity.

    • “The gameplay is engaging and the art as well as the music really tie everything together into an atmospheric, charming, and fun game.”
    • “These extras are little gameplay sections in which you do much more than just click some numbers to trade/refuel/etc. Repairing is a mini-game, there is a Wolfenstein-like shooter for certain missions, you directly fly your ship when fighting pirates or evading space debris, and many events are little adventures of their own.”
    • “Not only clever in its old-school approach, but a grand example of minimalism in gameplay and combining different games together.”
    • “The art is charming, but the gameplay is... well, pretty boring.”
    • “But, I mean, why bother with the rest of the gameplay mechanism of 'random bull**** happened, hope you were prepared' when you have that?”
    • “It's almost too bare-bones come to think of it; it could've benefited from a few extra systems in the gameplay, perhaps a ship upgrade system that forces you to choose between uses for your repair parts or the like.”

    • “No real enemy variety yet, not very diverse missions, but with some additions I think this game is going to be something great.”
