If mechs killed: continue running untill you reach portal and beam out.It was fun at first but as i said, the missions seems a lot alike, the most profitable think you do is take over enemy ships.Using stat increasing items might have a bad effect in about 1\/5 chanceStill have NO idea what the stats does except health.Some missions are broken (Supposed to enter planet but it says you alreaddy have done it)At one point you get the option to rework a space station for some money. He said i could check the progress anytime. about 2~ hours later i have no idea what it did. (It also came as 2 quests, one for goverment to save hosteges in a space station, but you cant find\/save the hosteges? breaks that quest, and a second one reuse the facility which you finish but never hear of again.The only reason i thumbs up it now is because i have the hope they will fix it and make more content.. 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.. After several CTD string errors, how my screen isn't centered when playing around with resolution and how the controls with the mouse give up randomly, I'd say this game isn't ready to be played without frustration. Concept is interesting but overall lack of integrity to gameplay breaks any hope you may have for it right now. There is plenty else to be said but these are the really serious ones that this game needs fixing.. 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.. In the tutorial you are posed with the opportunity to capture a ship. The opposing mechs and captain are significantly stronger than you and you will die quickly. What a tutorial.I will probably play this game more but damn dude have a heart, you almost broke my interest in continuing to play.. If you want to help this guy raise his new baby, and be there to hold his hand through his first attempt at making a game, then this game is for you. If you want a sandbox RPG that gets updated and runs well without a dozen bugs hitting you in the face every 5 minutes, look elsewhere. The game looks cool, seems like a good idea, but it is my opinion that this developer has little to no experience making games. The game isnt optimized, runs like crap on new systems, the options menu is an abysmal joke, and there are soooooo many bugs, its not worth $10. If this game goes on sale for $3, it would be worth it. But it seems that releasing new DLC is more improtant than polishing this jagged rusty hunk o junk. I wrote this bad review after seeing that he released DLC that has nothing to do with fixing the games jagged edges. (Note to the Dev) DLC is for AFTER the game is released, otherwise, it seems like you are just collecting money for a broken game. Pets should be free for having to put up with this hunk o crap. Youd be better off getting Junk Jack on iOS for $.99. Likes:- The ambition and scope - it's pretty flexible, and there's on-ship, in-space and on-planet.- Does something not really explored for many years - a bit of FTL, a bit of Star Control, a bit of Sun Dog Legacy, a bit of Star CommandDislikes:- The interface is woefully inconsistent (on some screens WASD, on some screens arrows, on some screens mouse)- Oh, and slow. Where you'd like a table perhaps you get a scrolling list of options in a speech bubble.- It's buggy and inconsistent (which is more a limit of cramming something ambitious into the RPGmaker XP engine)Overall:- I rather like it, despite its shonky nature (that's the Star Command influence at work)- With a better engine and more polish it could concentrate on the bits it does well, and let the engine handle the interface.. 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.
