The gameplay in the Space Pilgrim series, particularly in Episode III, is characterized by well-designed puzzles and challenges that enhance the classic point-and-click adventure experience. While the mechanics remain consistent—focusing on item interaction and character dialogue—the game offers expanded side quests and deeper lore, contributing to a nostalgic yet engaging experience. However, some players find the repetitive exploration tedious, though the strong character dynamics and story keep the gameplay interesting.
“Puzzles and challenges are thoughtfully designed, adding depth to the gameplay.”
“This is the third of the Space Pilgrim games, and like its predecessors, although it's built using an engine intended for JRPGs, the actual gameplay is closer to that of the classic '90s point-and-click adventures: a variety of locations that can be visited, characters who can be spoken to, and items which can be picked up.”
“Gameplay is expanded by having side quests for each character, but enough so you won’t lose sight of the main story.”
“The gameplay can be confusing and tiring, which involves you walking throughout the area over and over.”
“The game's mechanics remain the same, point and click to select items and either use them or combine them with something else.”
“So, yeah, while Space Pilgrim isn't the most innovative game in terms of gameplay, it's getting better each time.”
