PULSAR: Lost Colony Reviews

PEE PEE POO POO

Neat game!

I love this. I wish we had more crew-based games like this, void crew, star trek bridge crew. I wish we had a category called "Crew-Based" so I could search for crew based games.

Starfield but good

absolutely goated game with friends, super underrated

The best "Star Trek" style experience Iv'e played in a video game. Excellent.

Personal Rating: 8.5/10 Fly through space while your local engineer screams in binary code while your space craft is burning in the vacuum! Fantastic game with a bit of a learning curve. Lovely community who seem to always be willing to lend a hand when grasping the basics. 5 players: A Pilot, Weapons Specialist, Scientist, Engineer, and a Captain is mandatory. You can add bots to your lobby in place of other players, rename them, and modify how they look too. You fly through space, battle other ships, land on planets, and throw down with bandits to complete objectives! Gamble your life savings at the High Rollers, be a law abiding citizen with the Colonial Union, Sell your soul to the Wolden-Dorf Corperation, sell biscuits with Fluffy Biscuit, or become a gentleman yourself with the Alliance of Gentlemen! Feeling adventurous? Try the Ion Races to boost the ego of your pilot, or to pick on them relentlessly for crashing into a wall immediately! The Umbra Campaign is fantastic, very tense, had a ton of fun with my friends in that one.

This game was a hidden gem that I stumbled apon while browsing the steam store for games to play with my friends. I'm not someone typically playing ship games or star trek-like games, but I decided to dicuss buying it with a few friends, almost instantly we got pulled in, with some video tutorials we picked up the game fast. Though the game is a bit rough around the edges it's an extremely enjoyable coop experience, though I'd only play it with 3+ players. Though some of the info is outdated, I recommend any players learning the game to look things up on the pulsar wiki, because a lot of the ship upgrades past the stuff you start with come in pretty late in the game, at least relative to other games i've played.

This game is a really good game. It is definitely a gem. Best played with at-least one friend, the story, adventure, and exploration are all great. The battles can be intense with ai boarding your ship and taking down your power, while a fire is going, and being shot at by another ship all at the same time. Learning your systems and having a good team is key. We are currently end-game with only the final boss left to beat. We are definitely going to play the other campaigns. My first attempt I would warp into sectors of space only to see a huge boss ship that kills me instantly, and I put it down for a few years. I played again with my son, and once we had an understanding of space commanders, and sections of space that has bosses in it we were able to progress. We now are considering turning the chaos level above it's default because we got that good. Even with the lower end graphic you will see beautiful scenes, and play in very immersive environments. Each map is hand crafted. These people did a great job! If they came out with a Pulsar 2, I would buy it.

It feels odd to say it this way since Pulsar came first, but if you like Bridge Crew, Void Crew or any of the many other cooperative space ship crew games, then you should definitely give Pulsar a go as it's an absolute blast to play with a good group of friends :)
