Space Raiders in Space Reviews

I can't believe this game doesn't have over 100,000 positive reviews. It's a real gem. Wonderfully accessible and fun. Brilliantly designed gameplay. Beware, though, that it's a bit unsuitable for kids- nudity and profanity, but u can turn off profanity. U also need to be ok to configure keys to a gamepad ( quite easy on steam). It's just resource management, defense building, then siege, then again and again. Story is almost annoyingly wacky, but is consistently entertaining. Sometimes a game is so good u wanna keep an eye on what other games they made.

Tower-defense. A bit less static than some others. There’s a build, repair, and scavenge phase, followed by a defense phase where you fend off alien hordes. Ideally from behind the barricades you built earlier. You do that waves after waves. There are occasional pseudo-progression of the map. "Pseudo" because the map expands for scavenging and the benefit of the story, but the defense point remains the same. The tactic does not really evolve. Characters can be controlled individually or as a group. You can pause anytime to issue orders. An appreciated feature. The narration is presented in a comic style, making it somewhat difficult to read, especially the main menu. It seems wanting to be humorous. The corner of my mouth twitched once. I guess it was because of that. There is a comics narration between maps with frames arriving one after the other. Ok... I quickly passed them all with frenetic clicks till I discovered the escape key was permitting to jump the entire sequence. I played ~2 hours and no character died once. I cannot tell about the roguelike part. But it was a festival of achievements. Bottom line, it is more casual than anything else. Not bad. I do not recommend against.
