Nomad Fleet

“Sadly many things, the combat is slow and tedious, the RNG takes a lot of the fun from the game, the ship design is pretty good, and the graphics while clearly indie are good for an indie title. The main problem lies in the combat; it's simply not fun. Space combat should feel fast and epic, but here it feels rather slow and pointless. Weapons don’t hit hard enough to feel impactful, and the ships move at a rather sluggish pace. The 3D movement doesn’t add to the gameplay; instead, it merely causes additional frustration and movement lag.”

“The issue with something being this unoriginal is that you can just play the game that it cribbed from (Homeworld) and get the same style of gameplay with a guaranteed better overall experience.”

“While it seems stable so far, the interface and gameplay are rough around the edges and lack features I'd personally consider important, like the ability to order craft to escort or guard.”

“Crappy... the idea was cool but... well the mere fact you can't zoom in properly is baffling to me. Most games you'd be able to hold down your scroll wheel and swivel the camera around, not here... I feel like I'm playing the entire game from a tactical perspective so they can skimp on the graphics and just make the background look pretty.”

“In both the technical and aesthetic departments, I find it falls short.”

“This game is more or less a casual, off-brand Homeworld; graphics and play style are all the same.”

“Music is terrible, interface too.”

“Current rating reflects that I see massive potential with this... small changes like making actions more user-friendly and visual confirmation of actions... camera angles need a little work for zoom and movement and also music needs a little variance.”

“Granted it's an indie game, so I wouldn't expect the large funds to develop heavy content that big-name games get access to, namely the budget for story writing, cinematography, and music, but the game engine is definitely a good base to start from.”

“Another big thing the game lacks is content. The game runs and plays quite well, it is fun and enjoyable, the storylines are pretty decent, and the gameplay is really fun. However, the game feels kind of short and quite empty on the replay value side of things. If the developers were to add some extra content and even some form of side quests, it would truly enhance the game to indie gem status. As it stands, the game is cheap and very worth it; I just want more from it. Good space games are already rare, so when we do find one, having some extra joyous hours in it would be amazing.”

“There's definitely some replay value there, with the multiple fleets and randomized sectors, but to be honest, most people will probably play through maybe twice.”

“Some variation in behaviors and deployment patterns by faction and location would help immensely in improving the replayability of this game.”

“Very buggy with a terrible UI - both of which are so bad it's unplayable for me.”

“It's buggy, glitchy, and has some problems.”

“As early access, all criticisms regarding performance issues and glitches may change from the review date.”

“The hybrid fleet can be expensive and tedious because of drone bombers.”

“The game overall so far is fun to play, but there's nothing story-wise that will have you grinding for hours to unlock each part.”

“If you like Battlestar Galactica and you can tolerate unoptimized controls, you'll like this game.”
