I'm a sucker for these too, that one looks really impressive Smile It's a goddamn shame about the KS campaign failing though... not even $7k of the $50k needed Sad

Awesome! Another metroidvania game! This is the genre that I simply adore lately, probably almost my favourite at the moment. I can't wait for that Metroid look-a-like... what was its title again?! I also need to play the good Metroid games at least, but I can't find the time and patience for that... Sad

I'm confused. If the game is finished and ready, to which you can purchase from Steam right now, what on Earth was the Kickstarter project about? They say it was about releasing prematurely or running out of funds.. but here we are, four months after the failed KS and the game is on Steam proper - not Early Access - and appears to be complete. Did they secure external funding or something?

Maybe that could help to explain it?
(Found it from their Kickstarter page.)

(Seems Iceberg Interactive is the publisher so they must have funded development.)

Ah, yeah, looks like they had to turn to a publisher.. Sad Ah well, as long as it gets their game out there, no?

Rhetorical question, doesn't need an answer Smile I just mean that they should do whatever it takes to get the game out, since the KS failed.

It's... "cheap". Think of indie debut level.

The art style takes a bit of time to get used to, nothing else to complain about other than that, voice acting is a bit odd but I doubt they had the budget for a professional studio setup and actors.

Reading the steam forums it seems the game isn't complete and is more or less a scam.

The game ends abruptly with a "To be continued" and stuff you use in the tutorial doesn't even exist in the game. No wonder these clowns who lied like crazy about nuclear dawn pulls an even worse stunt

That could explain how/why they were able to put out the "full game" so quickly after a failed Kickstarter. It's a damned shame for all involved, developers and especially gamers, so perhaps this should have been released on Early Access? Could have sold the game "as-is" and generated some extra funding to improve it?

what a pity.. I'd gladly play a game with a space setting and this one, it looked nice.

Seems the developer is trying to clear up a few things, though it's going to cause people to be more frustrated.
(Post #20 and #22, post #25 has a good explanation.)

Jesus... Neutral That couldn't be any more abrupt if it tried. Oh wait, yes it could, because before this was patched it was just a "To be continued" message Facepalm Seriously, this needed to have been on Early Access, at least then people would know what they were getting into and the devs could *legitimately* earn some money whilst working on the rest.. instead of now, which looks for all the world to be a hell of a rip off.

Yeah, I don't get it either.
I assume it is because they realized there is no way for them to continue developing so they just threw all the cards.

I've just watched the video above. lol.. what was that? that was abrupt ;D

I feel kinda sorry for devs;) the game certainly looks nice.

At the very least they could have named it Episode 1 Wink I dunno..
