  • story108 mentions

    The game's story is generally considered simple and linear, with a mix of engaging elements and repetitive missions that can detract from the overall experience. Players appreciate the freedom to choose missions and the unfolding narrative, but many find the pacing slow and the missions often dull, leading to a sense of frustration. While some aspects of the story, such as the lore and character progression, are praised, the execution leaves much to be desired, resulting in a campaign that feels more tedious than immersive.

    • “The story has an amazing concept, a really good storyline with two distinct endings, and plenty of great lore.”
    • “There are space battles and ground battles as well as some bounty missions, and a storyline that slowly unfolds as your character progresses.”
    • “This developer, even with a limited budget, went beyond what he could have done and added a great storyline that had me engaged the entire game.”
    • “The worst part about the plot was that it was carried through by plot-specific missions which mostly involved you trudging around alien planets toward a puzzle solution.”
    • “The main plot of the game is fairly unimaginative.”
    • “Despite the repetitiveness, the game is quite short if you complete the story missions as they come.”
  • gameplay60 mentions

    The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with many players finding it repetitive and shallow, particularly in combat and progression systems. While some appreciate the variety of gameplay styles, including third-person and space shooting, others criticize the lack of depth and strategic elements, leading to a sense of monotony after a few hours. Despite its dated graphics, a few players highlight enjoyable mechanics and a unique experience, though overall, the gameplay struggles to maintain engagement over time.

    • “The gameplay is fairly simple in both space and ground, yet fun.”
    • “It has three different gameplays: a third-person shooter, a space shooter, and a smaller strategy game (as well as two minigames when you 'jump' in space).”
    • “Almost before you know it, you're in charge of the entire war, picking targets, launching strike fleets, building bases, and investigating the prophecy, all with a frenetic fluid gameplay that has you doing something different every few minutes.”
    • “The gameplay is shallow and repetitive (especially combat), the upgrade system maxes out quickly and offers nothing but stat increases, the writing is pretty horrible (replete with bad poetry and lines like, 'we are the fallen ones'), and there is no strategy to the supposedly strategic elements.”
    • “The gameplay doesn't hold up well even when compared to anything in its own era and most of the time it feels like some early beta with plain placeholders where you'd expect some more detail, until you realize they are actually trying to push this as the finished product.”
    • “The game has some redeeming factors on first look which is why I bought it in the first place but it's hard to overlook the empty scenery featuring no details, the shabby look, and the repetitive gameplay a few hours in the game.”
  • graphics45 mentions

    The graphics of the game have received mixed reviews, with many players noting that they are dated and lack polish, often comparing them to titles from the 90s or early 2000s. While some appreciate the art style and find the visuals tolerable, others criticize the rigid animations and overall lack of detail, suggesting that the graphics detract from the experience. Despite these shortcomings, many players feel that the engaging gameplay compensates for the visual deficiencies, making it a worthwhile experience for those who prioritize gameplay over graphics.

    • “Awesome game... nice game mechanics... was surprised... besides I love graphics like these.”
    • “Beautiful graphics and design.”
    • “Don't be put off by the dated looking graphics, this game has a ton of gameplay.”
    • “The graphics were outdated when the game was new, the animation is rigid and sometimes hilariously bad, and the writing is, for the most part, so-so.”
    • “The graphics are sub-par and the difficulty spike in the first space battles is extreme, but the gameplay is enjoyable and I don't think it deserves as many of the negative reviews as it has.”
    • “Bottom line is that the graphics are circa 2006 and the gameplay is shallow and gets repetitive fast.”
  • grinding9 mentions

    Overall, players find the grinding in the game to be excessive and tedious, particularly in the later stages where battles against increasingly powerful enemies become frustrating. While some aspects, like space combat, are enjoyable and less grindy, the overall experience is marred by repetitive gameplay and a lack of feeling powerful, leading to a negative impact on pacing and enjoyment.

    • “The ending of the game completely destroys pacing and ruins it for me; the horrible, ceaseless battles against an overpowered enemy are frustrating and tedious.”
    • “Very clunky, dull, and boring game with an inordinate amount of grinding, pretty much doing the same thing over and over again.”
    • “As the game goes on, the enemies and enemy buildings/turrets/etc. become stronger and take more shots to kill, increasing how tedious everything is.”
  • humor7 mentions

    The humor in the game is a mixed bag, with some players finding the rigid animations and subpar writing unintentionally funny, while others appreciate the engaging dialogue and amusing side missions. Many users noted that the interactions and unique faction characteristics added to the comedic experience, leading to genuine laughter despite some shortcomings in voice acting. Overall, the humor is present and can be entertaining, particularly in the context of character interactions and mission descriptions.

    • “Animations are hilarious.”
    • “Side missions feature hilarious pirate descriptions.”
    • “The dialogue had me genuinely laughing, and I was interested in why each race was fighting to the death.”
  • music6 mentions

    The music in the game has received mixed reviews; while some players appreciate the great soundtracks and the option to incorporate their own music, others feel that the in-game music lacks the epic quality expected during key moments, such as space battles. Overall, the effectiveness of the music varies significantly depending on the context within the game.

    • “Great soundtracks.”
    • “Your own music recommended.”
    • “Salvation Prophecy is a prime example of how music and sound can make or break a game.”
    • “When I first started with the drones, there was no music.”
    • “When I fought in space, it played what sounded like idle space music, not epic space music.”
  • atmosphere3 mentions

    The atmosphere of the game is captivating and immersive, drawing comparisons to beloved titles like Homeworld, Freespace, and Mass Effect. Players find enjoyment in the gameplay despite its unrealistic physics, particularly when exploring beyond the confines of the space station, which enhances the overall experience.

    • “+ Overall feeling and atmosphere is a combined shadow of Homeworld, Freespace, and Mass Effect titles.”
    • “Overall, the feeling and atmosphere is a combined shadow of Homeworld, Freespace, and Mass Effect titles.”
    • “Furthermore, as soon as I was able to actually leave the space station behind me - for as long as I didn't need to invade anything - I was truly captivated by the atmosphere.”
  • replayability2 mentions

    The game offers moderate replayability with four distinct factions to choose from, providing some variation in gameplay. However, players note that after the initial playthrough, surprises diminish as the factions largely differ only in aesthetics, with one faction having a unique turret-building ability during invasions. Overall, while replayability exists, it may not be substantial after the first experience.

    • “Offers replayability and a unique experience each time.”
    • “With 4 different factions to play, it packs a bit of replayability.”
    • “But, with 4 different factions to play, it packs a bit of replayability. However, after your first playthrough, there are no more surprises, as there isn't really much difference between the factions beyond some aesthetics, except for one faction that gets the ability to construct turrets during planetary invasions.”
    • “Offers replayability, but the experience quickly becomes repetitive.”
  • monetization2 mentions

    The monetization of the game is criticized as being exploitative, with many reviewers feeling it is overpriced for the quality and content offered, leading to perceptions of it being a cash grab. While some find it enjoyable, they recommend purchasing it only at a significant discount due to its lack of depth and poor graphics.

    • “While it is filled with very interesting concepts for immersion, there is not actually much to dive into, making the game look a bit lame and like some sort of cash grab - honestly, it's not even worth half of the price.”
    • “I'm giving it a thumbs up because you can have some fun with it, but buy it at an 85% discount. Whoever made this game had either no idea how to price it (the graphics are plainly bad and unpolished, the models are so lame) or just deliberately made a cash grab... or both, I don't know.”
