The look of the game is tacky and appears incomplete, and the game plays very slowly. Even on a high performance machine, I experienced frame drops and the aforementioned crashes; even when the game isn't lagging, it still feels like I'm struggling to execute the controls I want because of the awkward mechanics. I quickly lose desire to play because of how awkward it is to even try.There are some good ideas I see, but those same ideas are better explored in other games I think.Not recommended, unless the developers patch it up and smooth out the rough edges pretty soon.. Exploring the randomly generated planets and ships is pretty fun. There is a lot of depth and an infinite amount of area to explore. I like the idea of the game, where you have robot assistants doing the fighting, while you run around "collecting samples" ie looting. The lag is due to how bad the RPG maker engine is for this type of game. To imporove the controls, I suggest using a gamepad and the joy2key program to map the keyboard keys to the gamepad. In the Star-Box folder in your steam Common folder you can edit the config.ini file to matche your desktop resolution. I would also suggest turning on frame rate limit in your graphic cards game profile to limit screen tearing. In the game you can press F1 for the settings menu. Overall for the price, if you use the tweaks I suggest above, the game is fun but the combat lag can be annoying.. Has potential, but the developer needs more experience. that or RPG maker is having issues i did not know about. while i admire the developers attempt, they should probably attempt to polish and streamline the game. Many things are unacounted for, and the games interfaces are extremely clunky. Good Start, but it really needs to be better. I would suggest holding off for a bit longer until the dev gets around to improving his games performance\/ interface and quality in general.. Having recently given up on Fortune's Tavern as a hopeless game i tried this one. I wondered long if this one works better and if i should buy it... though i see they both share the same kind of combat engine. Surely this one will work better right? No. It's terrible. And i have come to the conclusion that this game engine just isn't cut for fun action oriented gameplay. Sure you can get this to work somewhat but the fun part is just missing. Combat on ships is something that i can imagine some people love despite(or because) the sluggish way the characters move giving you a stuttering Archon -like linearity to combat. Fortune's Tavern dejavuu is very strong here. The biggest sin i think this game engine brings to the table is that it overshadows the story. You are spendng so much time on being annoyed by it that you just dont even care about the story. Yes i understand, some people like it. But i just can't as there really are WORKING action games such as Secret of Magia that does the action part right. Not going to be spending much ink on the game mechanics itself - i see others have already taken care of that. Instead i am going to just issue a general warning for action games that has this game engine underneath. Now by this i dont mean rpgmaker games generally as i have recently learn't to like a lot of more traditional rpgmaker games but this particular engine that is used on the more action oriented games is just a general disaster and i will avoid it like the plague in the future.. Ok so this game is quirky, it is fun, and it is definitely different. It is an A-RPG at it's core, with a story, albeit short at the moment. I do recommend you give this game a shot, if you had fun with other ARPG's, even Binding of Isaac fans could really get into this, altough it has more in terms of items, and managing things. I guess I will do the standard Pros and Cons for people here. . .Pros:1: Game has fun old-school style graphics (I enjoy at least, not everyone's cup of tea I understand though)2: You control a starship and crew, with mechs to help you in battle if you choose3: Action-RPG that rewards skill, as opposed to just rewarding grinding as many turned based RPG's do (This is not turned based obviously being an ARPG4: Many upgrades for yourself, and upgrades for your mechs5: You can board enemy ships, to take them as your own, or buy a better ship if you want instead6: You can choose to play as a fighter or a commander, either going in and leveling while killing, or letting mechs do the work and staying in the back7: The price of this game is very low, and IMHO you will get your money's worth of hours of fun8: Walking around areas, using the action key, you find genetic material or download data or find parts to upgrade mechs all space stations and stuff. Stuff that looks like part of the scenery, actually holds value, which I find endearing. It doesn't stick out, and scream "COME GET ME." You have to use your brain on this one folks.Cons:1: There are some bugs, although the developer responded FAST on the boards, then patched some problems same day.2: The resolutions are a bit funky, and you must restart the game for them to take effect, some of them cause the game to be half off the screen, at least on my monitor.3: The controls are a bit wonky as well, as how you move is very basic, 4 directions only for facing, can't fire in diagonal, and to fire you push numbers 1 thru 4, while using the WASD to move, is very hard on the fingers. (Can use numpad to move to make it a lot easier, not sure if you can rebind firing keys, as that would be very handy)4: Taking Damage from enemies can be somewhat delayed \/ non-informative. They fire 4 or 5 shots at you, and each does 400 damage, and you die near instantly before being able to react.5: From what I can tell, there is not information when killing an enemy on experience earned, or how far from a level you are, or what is in those brown sacks they drop that you pick up. I assume it is credits, but it gives no information.All in all, this game is a good buy, and the developer has already commented that he is looking into adding the ability to build your own space station in the game. Things like that, are so unique to a game like this, and I love that he is considering it, and not just going and doing the same tropes that 3\/4's of the developers do nowadays..
