The English translation is just horrible. It feels like you're speaking to a child. The idea itself could be great, but i feel like the devs fell short of their reach. My absolute biggest complaint is the screen shake. You can't adjust it and it will absolutely make you sick. Imagine trying to play a video game from the pov of a bouncing ball, and I'm 100% not exaggerating. Best advice is to try the free prologue. I blame myself for not noticing that option.

In general, I liked the game, I recommend it to all fans of this genre. Pros: - an interesting plot (I liked it very much) - the graphics are very good and nice - musical accompaniment Minuses: - aiming causes some discomfort (some incredible recoil) - no voice acting, but I hope they will add

Holy shit, me and my friend saw this game today and got it to check it out. The jankyness of the opening cinematic if you can even call it that is surreal. The movement in game is so clunky I got motion sickness and maybe it would have been good to check their grammar before putting all that wacky text in game. "Your task is to protect humanity in the upcoming fights"? Really? How about a thesaurus. Seems meh besides that. Only buy if you are super into the trailers because the animations are so choppy it gives motion sickness.

mpphhh... 40 minutes 'played'... So, this must be a Konami spin-off: loading... non-skippable scene, non-skippable scene... loading... very short tutorial with unclear instructions (talking about weaponchanging when you only have one weapon and not explaining the importance about holding the leftbutton to increase the power, only being able to evade to the side after dying...)... loading... non-skippable scene... non-skippable scene- conversation with 1 answer to choose (Wow, great action)... loading... non-skippable scene... start of the game... Three seconds later: Dead because you are hit once by the multiple enemies that shoot very fast and frequently, while you have to hold your button more than 3 seconds to be able to kill one enemy... I do hope they change this: Make the scenes skippable, respec the speed of dodging (has almost no effect now because enemy fire just follows you), give a faster weapon at the start., improve the quality of the scenes (at the moment they look like it's something out of the old version of halflife... while the actual game looks good)... Has a lot of potential, but not recommended at the moment...

What an extremely buggy and extremely inconsistent mess. A few hours into it I wanted to quit playing but because I spent money on it I kept going. And; you are also denied a proper ending to this mess as well. Feels like it was slapped together as a cash grab (which worked in my case). Do Not Buy This!...

[h1] Summary : Needs more work.[/h1] - Consider buying the game to support the devs. - Needs more recent updates. - Needs a demo/prologue refresh. [h1] Pros : Good Aesthetic [/h1] Great aesthetic that reminds me of games like Warframe, Red eclipse, Omicron and the original Half-life. ~ The gameplay starts to feel like playing Halo or Destiny. (console game engine UE4). - Does not crash on startup. Since the prologue did. (hopefully the prologue can be fixed/recompiled) [h1] Cons : Level of detail [/h1] As appealing as it was, I'm not impressed. I see this as an ambitious project that has potential but has gone stale. I didn't realise the game was made with UE4 and I see it as a big obstacle in regards to a small development team. I'm a pc gamer who likes fast and efficient games that are likely to be supported on linux. This is not one of those games. It would need a lot more [u] boring [/u] work done by the devs [b] Menus and UI [/b] - Add button: to enable cursor in-game to close menus. > Certain UI elements are distracting and low quality. (blood overlay at 60hp, stuck dialogue menu on the right) [b] Graphics (*) [/b] - Textures: Level Of Detail (LOD) is low while settings are high. - Textures: no vram usage meter - Textures: Some textures for terrain do not load, leaving floating assets. (like a broken beta version). - Bug: Some terrain surfaces are not solid. (The character can walk under the map/textured surfaces) * Specs: R9 270x (2gb vram) with an i5-4690 (16gb system memory) [h1] Cons : Afterthoughts [/h1] - The camera bumps into surfaces sometimes, causing an awkward close-up angle. - Some NPCs(troops) simply spawn in front. ... [h1] Suggestions [/h1] - Add recommended specs on the steam page. - Find ways to optimise the game to make it feel like a full product. Do updates. - Recompile the prologue/demo to make it more available for play testing and for better hardware compatibility. Also reduce its size for better delivery. > I would've needed to install UE4 to get 'debugging symbols' for the prologue to even show a crash report.

Orange Cast: Sci-Fi Space in some way remind me legendary dead space some small bugs are in game but after all its very good game ( at least its much more better than game offer award 2020 winner last of them part trash ) and for me price was so cheap 169.99 ARS ( less than some of my cs:go skins ) game play is good graphic is great shooting system is perfect every corner is well detailed of course there are some small issues and bugs but they are not that huge with this small price i bought very good game so i say its recommended :)

Kinda boring tbh, the game runs very clunky at times, and its very repetitive, as there feels like no story during the game, but there is in the text. It is Russian though, so the English grammar isn't very good. The story is inside the reading, but it takes so long to read, and the story is pretty boring. I feel bad for not recommending this, but save your money, please.

This game could be best described as "Russian jank" in a charming way. [i]Let me break it down:[/i] 1. At this time, no English voiceover. English text only in most important places (translation is passable, will be an issue if you do not speak English like a native). 2. The story is intriguing, but hindered by fast vague cutscenes and concepts getting lost in translation. 3. Good characterization of npcs and the player for what this game is trying to be. 4. Forget the profanity filter, we don't do that here. The use of "profanity" is tasteful, in right places and not too much so far. 5. Janky character animation (the run gets me wheezing every time). 6. Janky combat. Cheesing enemies is best way to go! Do not let them gang up on you. 7. Good level design, with a spice of jank in certain geometry spots. 8. Really good ambiance in general... until some out of place upbeat music kicks in. 9. Sound in cutscenes are just jank- sound way too low, can't bring it up in settings, voiceover in Russian is barely audible. Music blasts over all of it sometimes. 10. etc. I could go on for a while, there is so much jankiness in this game. In general, the game has a strong base and cool story to tell, but needs polish. A lot of polish. As a final thought - this is not my type of a game, but I am finding some enjoyment in it. Will attempt to finish it. Recommending this on high discount only.

TRY THE DEMO, (dont waste your money till you try the demo) the main game is almost no different, very much an alpha build. Nice idea, graphics are interesting and reminds you a bit of dead space, gameplay - guns feel all the same, AI doesnt do much, so easy to kill, overall boring hidden weapons to unlock via finding temples and unlock them overall was fun for a bit but while I completed the game, spent the first part thinking it might get better, middle part thinking it was cheap and was a nice concept, last part wishing it would finish soon.
