This game is the son of Doom and Diablo (mainly Diablo 1).
It´s a nice game to go fighting bad aliens, in the hack way to fight. But there is something lighter here than in Diablo games or other slash and hack...
There is no special item here, in the meaning you´ll get an "epic", "legendary", "unique", "rare"... nothing! All the items have just ONE bonus. So, no need to save them for a long time! Use your best items to destroy the worst aliens, without guilt or worry about using an item until it´s broken. Keep calm, and beat on!
The game is a bit long, and it´s worth to save it all the time. But it´s really a fun game! ^_^

It's honestly not as bad as many people say, it's a budget sci-fi Diablo and for that it's pretty good.

dont listen to all the negative reviews. this game is a space version diablo clone, not that its a bad thing. for $0.99 its well worth the money.
its challenging but not crazy difficult, you just have to run and shoot/smack things and take cover behind walls/trees/etc. there are plenty of different kinds of aliens to kill, and there is always new loot dropping. different items help certain stats to power-up enery rifles to melee swords. the story is alright; you crash on an alien planet and have to go around saving your people and finding a way out, takes a while to finish too. it can get repetitive, but if you dont like these kinds of games then stay away, its made in 2004 so dont expect too much.
overall if you like diablo and sci-fi then buy it
also in the guides section, there is one that will give instructions to add voice-overs to the game. its awesome

This one takes place in a Sci-Fi environment with nods of its proverbial hat to the space cult classics of yesteryear.
If you're looking for something that you can play for a half an hour here and there when you've got a bit of spare time that plays and feels like Diablo 2, then this is a good bet for you.
The gameplay is simple hack and slash much like D2 with similar loot drops and power ups. You have a simple variety of stats that you can upgrade when you level for better abilities. Health for your life force and Energy (which roughly equates to mana in D2) for your energy weapons.
Instead of gems, you have Biochips which upgrade your character`s skills directly. There`s a fair bit of variety and game play is good enough in short doses between your other daily tasks or for a quick break.
The graphics are a little dated but go well with its simple stylized visuals. It will likely run well on a modest to low powered computer.
My recommendation goes to those with slower computers that want something that plays like Diablo 2, or for those who want a good "break game" that's engaging in short play sessions.

At the current price of 99c I would recommend. An old aRPG type game similar to Dungeon Siege. Very light on the RPG elements though, you can only modify your base attributes and there are no skills as such, it is purely increasing stat level to be able to equip stronger tech. Has the advantage of being one of the few sci-fi games in the genre. Though to be honest for whatever reason most of the weaponry consists of medieval tech ala, any fantasy game, with the addition of guns. Still waiting for a GOOD sci-fi aRPG.
You are a Hack, a soldier of the future, aboard a colony ship venturing to a new galaxy, which is suddenly and inexplicably invaded by aliens. Despite being a soldier, you begin with no weapons, which makes the beginning difficult and frustrating as you slowly bash aliens with your fists, despite all the colonists you are protecting having weapons. The first hours are a humdrum of fighting, running back to the colony healer then venturing out again.
The levels are bland, each just a square area filled with a variety of boring bits and pieces, the game does very little to reward exploration. All in all I pirated the game way back in the day of its original release, and was glad I did. If you are willing to forgive a clunky sci-fi Dungeon Siege though, there is barely enough here to entertain a boring couple of days.
A couple of tips for new players given the game explains nothing:
- The healer in the first base heals you for free. Saves you healing items which deplete fast.
- Hold ctrl or press r to run. Though you have limited stamina.
- Your scroll wheel will rotate the view.

This game plays like it is in early development; the front end and menus don’t seem finished, the game play is repetitive and unrewarding also the programme has bugs just about everywhere. This could be a good game with a bit of work to sort these issues. I would not recommend this game in its current state.

Space Hack, a hack and slash styled RPG, that takes place in the wonderful world of space colonization! After some disaster strikes, it is up to one person, aka you, to take out the alien scum and put a stop to the menace!
[h1]Pros[/h1]
- Simplistic Gameplay
- Simple Inventory
- Decent Story
- Non-respawnable enemies
[h1]Cons[/h1]
- Currency taking Energy weapons
- Non-respawnable enemies
- No farming
- Felt Short (See additional comments)
[h1]Additional Comments[/h1]
Those with a keen eye, or reading this at all, should be able to spot that I put non-respawnable enemies into both the pros and cons list. This is because the game definitely played well without needing enemies to respawn, but in the same breath I really wish they did so I could continue leveling up and farming money/cells for energy weapons and better upgrades. I got through the entirety of the game though by grinding out each zone and killing off every single alien along the way, with the exception of a couple.
Now the gameplay and story itself, while I put in quite a few hours for the price point, it honestly felt a bit short. The world building information was there but there was a lot of additional information that could have been placed to help understand the world better. Everything you really learn about the world is through the main quest line, which is great, but in the same breath it also meant that the NPCs that exist didn't really help you understand and learn the rest of the story and world. There's a lot that was hinted at or mentioned briefly that was never expanded upon by just simply going around and talking to NPCs or finding random consoles out there that helped with these extra tidbits. There is quite a bit there but I still felt some of it was lacking, though there may be more than enough for the majority of people.

A very cheap hack and slash Diablo clone with a space setting. Some of the controls are weird, but not too weird where it stops the game from being fun. The UI takes some getting used to, easily to get a handle of. The options menu is very simplistic. The Diablo in space setting is a nice change of pace.
