Does Fantastic refers to the quality of the game or to the setting ?

Those are awesome games ! I had the feeling that the only games that get gifted are at most correct but it proves me wrong.

That's look very much like Verdant Sky Verdant Sky [External Link] that was pretty nice. Got it with some itch bundle and gave it a few hours.

He's a prince of Korea as a whole, as the Korean split is post-dynastic. To be clear, his family has essentially no power at all. They are entirely symbolic or ceremonial, unlike some other existing royal families. Lee has however seemingly rebranded his company London Trust Media into Imperial Family Companies using his family's royal symbols:

There are more and more game on steam, people tends to also buy and play games from a few year ago especially as game tend to get support for years concurrency is not just new game but also all the game released on the last few years. 100 milions players is not that much when there is 40-50 thousand games compared with the one thousand or so DS game for the same userbase.

Spaceship building 2D strategy Istrolid reaches the big 1.0

Remind me of Reassembly (an excellent game)

What have you been playing? Have a Sunday chat with us

I have played Starsector a lot but it ultimately disapoint me because of its rhythm ( Spaceship can't go at 5km/h ! ).
I have then played a itch.io visual novel ( https://perverteer.itch.io/tales-from-the-unending-void [External Link] ) that have a very nice space op adventure vibe. The banner is uninspiring but adventure is thrilling and inter character relationship is rich.
Itch really should have more coverage here.

Open-world single-player 2D space game Starsector has a big story expansion

A few dozens of hour into the game I can make a more in depth review of this game.

Game is nice except for one main flaw : the rhythm. Game is too grindy, trip are too slow even on x2 mode and battle are far too slow due to a cautious AI and low precision of the weapon and low speed and maneuverability of the ships. Even by offering myself 1 milion credit by 5 hour grinding (via save edit) and using the mod to make battle far faster the game is still very slow.

That's a pity because beside that, the game could have been the Mount & Blade in space we deserve. What SPAZ 2 should have been. The simulation, exploration and mission are nice and interesting.

But the combat lack the speed of M&B, SPAZ or Reassembly and the depth of turn by turn combat like with the Sunrider franchise.

I hope some mod will solve thoose issues, this game has a lot of potential

I bought the game. It's nice but I don't like the combat. They are slow and I can't understand how it works. I just take command of a ship that don't go in combat, let the AI play and go doing something else as they are not skipable
