  • optimization44 mentions

    Overall, the game's optimization is a mixed bag, with many players experiencing significant performance issues, especially with larger crafts, while others report smoother gameplay on various hardware. As it is still in early access, developers are actively working on optimization updates, and some users have noted that it runs better than other early access titles. However, the consensus is that substantial improvements are needed to enhance the overall experience.

    • “That being said, I'm able to get it to run smoothly over 90% of the time on a 6-year-old gaming laptop.”
    • “Finally, I need to give a shout-out to the devs. I haven't had major performance problems, but the devs are very active on the Discord helping people who have.”
    • “After a big performance update, this game is on the way to being playable on the Steam Deck.”
    • “The performance is pretty bad.”
    • “There's very little to do, performance is poor, and the UI is awkward.”
    • “The main issue I have is performance (it looks on par in graphics to an Xbox 360 game on very low settings and I can't get a stable 20fps with 16GB of RAM and a GTX 1650 Ti).”
  • gameplay22 mentions

    The gameplay is highly praised for its intuitive mechanics and satisfying loop of building, flying, and iterating on designs, making it accessible for players who may struggle with more complex orbital mechanics. Users appreciate the polished vehicle-building system, which allows for a wide variety of creations, and the multiplayer aspect adds to the fun. While some performance issues and missing features are noted, the overall experience is engaging and reminiscent of classic space simulation games.

    • “I love this game! I bought it a few days ago and I really enjoy the mechanics of it. Building planes is really simple and doesn't take a lot to get a plane to fly.”
    • “The gameplay loop of 'build, fly, crash, repeat until it's good enough' is very satisfying.”
    • “There's so much fun in the iterative design/test gameplay that I've had hours go by, and in the blink of an eye, it was bedtime.”
    • “For the ones who hate bugs, here are some missing features/bugs that might impact your gameplay.”
    • “Mechanics: the game needs more features such as a way to drop bombs and other weapons from planes, etc.”
    • “While the complexity of KSP comes from rocket science and knowing orbital mechanics, the complexity here comes from knowing what to assemble in the first place.”
  • story19 mentions

    The game's story aspect is currently lacking, with players expressing a desire for more structured missions and a career mode to enhance engagement. While there are some fun scenarios and a mission creator, the initial offerings feel sparse and uninteresting, leading to a quick loss of interest. Players hope for future updates to provide a more cohesive narrative and progression system, similar to what was seen in the original Kerbal Space Program.

    • “The scenarios included are fun but quick, and I would really like to see a form of progression with these missions completed linearly with a fun little story.”
    • “There's a scenario editor, which lets you place props, waypoints, and NPC craft in the scene, and control them all with some simple drag and drop logic or scripts - this lets you create your own races, obstacle courses, missions, etc. Also, this game has been designed from the start to make modding as easy as possible, so there will likely be many ways to tweak your experience in the future.”
    • “The initial tutorial was very nice and fun, and the game has some built-in missions to do against other players or alone.”
    • “There is next to nothing here missions-wise.”
    • “However, I did lose interest in the game quite quickly due to a lack of story/career mode.”
    • “The first 'proof of concept' missions and scenarios are trickling out of the workshop, but none of them are particularly good, consistent, or fun yet.”
  • stability17 mentions

    The game is currently plagued by numerous bugs and glitches, affecting both single-player and multiplayer experiences, particularly in the assembly warehouse and scenario editor. While players appreciate the detailed design and fun gameplay, they often find themselves frustrated by inconsistent bugs that disrupt their enjoyment. Despite these issues, many still recommend the game for its potential and engaging mechanics, especially for fans of physics-based flight simulations.

    • “Game has been super buggy since the start.”
    • “Massively buggy at the moment.”
    • “Several extremely frustrating, inconsistent bugs that mean you spend most of your playtime resetting, troubleshooting, and fiddling, not having fun.”
  • graphics16 mentions

    The game's graphics are generally described as simplistic yet pleasing, contributing to a fun and relaxing atmosphere. However, many users report significant performance issues, including low frame rates and frequent crashes, particularly on certain hardware configurations. While some players appreciate the lightweight design, others express frustration over optimization problems that hinder gameplay experience.

    • “The game is stable and runs well, even with larger creations, while the lightweight graphics lend a relaxing and fun vibe that won't overheat your computer's GPU.”
    • “The graphics are simplistic, although very pleasing.”
    • “The graphics are great, the map is good, and it's fun to make stupid vehicles with friends.”
    • “The main issue I have is performance; it looks on par with graphics from an Xbox 360 game on very low settings, and I can't get a stable 20fps with 16GB of RAM and a GTX 1650 Ti.”
    • “Performance: this is what kills the fun. I run my game on a 1050 Ti, which can render games at 60fps with graphics way better than this one. I hope you guys can take some time just for optimization so everyone can play it.”
    • “I'm getting less than 10fps in the editor with graphics settings cranked as low as they will go.”
  • humor8 mentions

    The humor in the game is characterized by whimsical and sarcastic elements reminiscent of the original Kerbal Space Program, with amusing item descriptions and a lighthearted approach to gameplay.

    • “Funny and sarcastic item and part descriptions return from KSP, which is something I enjoy very much.”
    • “This has multiplayer right out of the box, with some really funny rudimentary combat, and it is just so cool to see a bunch of people's other creations flying about.”
