story
58 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe game's story is set in a vast, open galaxy embroiled in conflict among three main factions, with players engaging in procedural missions that influence faction standings and power dynamics. While the background lore is intriguing and the gameplay offers a variety of quests, the main narrative is incomplete, leading to repetitive mission structures that may detract from the overall experience. Players express a desire for more diverse story content and greater player agency in shaping faction relationships.
“Exploring the galaxy feels always interesting and challenging, and the background story is quite entertaining.”
“It's like it also has an interesting story, as the battles get a little tense at times, even more so when you get massively outgunned in an ambush, which is where strategy comes into play.”
“The gameplay really feels like a classic turn-based roguelike, but unlike Xenomarine (the first title from Fourfold Games), you're not lurking in a dungeon like a derelict ship, but have an open galaxy, with many sectors and procedurally generated missions, amidst a war between three main factions, and a bunch of political tensions (and more side quests) with minor factions.”
“Sadly, the main story is not done yet.”
“Graphics are pretty decent... just the game is crying out for a storyline and/or sandbox mode.”
“The story isn't complete (yet), but procedural quests give you things to do.”
