Bit Odyssey Reviews

The game is probably dead. The devs are making other games, while this one is nowhere near finished. For example, buttons are often not labelled with the key you need to press to choose it, and sometimes the labels are even WRONG. How does SPC mean press shift? I don't know. You often have to use the arrow keys to navigate menus, which is not always bad, but in this game... Sometimes buttons that are stacked vertically can only be navigated with the left and right arrow keys. What. So until there is a major update, this review stays negative.

Complete and utter garbage. No updates in years........YEARS, the last "update" was the Steam Summer Sale 2016.......... It's a horrible mess, controls are awful, can't do anything, you have no idea what to do or how to interact with anything at all. Buggy, terrible mess. Even if this was 12 cents, it would still be overpriced. Can't believe I bought into this piece of junk. Don't waste your money on it, there are plenty of great games out there. Will never, ever support this developer again. 0/10.

Still very rough. Some screens don't have all their controls labeled, so you have no idea how to make choices. Probably going to wait another year to try it again.

A very fun indie game to pass the time especially offline, however there are a few things that would be nice to see: A: more away team options like finding chests, attacking enemy spaceships from the inside, etc... B: more customization maybe being able to add more blocks than the default, and a customizable game but overall, an AMAZING GAME 20/10 i highly reccomend buying this game

"Can anyone remember when we used to be explorers?" - Jean Luc Picard Well he would like this game with its mix of exploration, combat and peaceful aliens who dont always require shooting in the face! In this respect it feels more faithful to star trek than many official star trek games. Its a shame about the recent name change as Tiny Trek summed it up perfectly.

Bogus... 6 of 5 must play. 5 of 5 great story great game-play. 4 of 5 great story average game-play. 3 of 5 average story average game-play. 2 of 5 play only if it's your favourite genre. 1 of 5 play if you have nothing better to do. 0 of 5 play if you're a masochist. -1 of 5 avoid. Bit Odyssey score is -1 of 5.

Its a pretty fun little game. you start off by creating a race, and a ship, and then you go off into the galaxy to explore. there are random events to encounter, planets to explore, sectors to scan, creatures to talk to, lazers to shoot, power to direct to engines or shileds or maneuver or whatever the hell. its got pretty much whatever basic star trek space exploration mechanics you could want. i especially like making the new ships, although i wish there was an editor for your race, like there was for the ships. its a pretty good game for the price. very retro. very ms-dos. enjoyable. if you like retro games, if you like space exploration games, and especially if you like retro space exploration games, then i recommend this.

I [i]REALLY[/i] hate to write a negative review, but here it goes: An interesting idea, but very unpolished. Time will tell if it'll end up better later in development. Pros: -an interesting idea; a Star Trek inspired, procedurally generated RPG -the space battles have some potential to them -this game is still early-early access, so who knows? Cons: -"procedurally generated" means different planet backrounds and aliens with different features and slightly different skills -the size of the pixels make objects and letters difficult to identify sometimes -sooo many bugs and glitches I don't know where to start: buttons and items that don't do anything, ships merging and jittering during space battle collisions, etc. -missions are highly unsatisfying: planetside missions are either "walk around and collect samples" or "fight these hostiles in the most boring way possible", and space missions are for the most part unintelligible -strange events, such as when you enter a system you get a random garbled message from a random alien, which has no bearing on anything Score: 4/10

I've held off on writing my review long enough. As it exists right now, this can't really even be considered a "game", and has had only a few minor updates since I bought it a year and a half ago. Every so often, news will pop up on the store page, and I'll think, "Great! they updated the game! Hooray!", but no, it's just a blurb asking me to buy whatever other game that the developer is working on instead of working on the one that I already paid for. Sorry, pal. No more cash from me until this one is finished. Don't buy this "game" unless and until you see regular updates coming in. EDIT 7/02/23: Why is this still for sale on Steam? This is barely even a proof of concept and bears only a slight resemblance to anything that could be described as a "game". It's not worth even the measly five bucks they're asking for it. This borders on criminal, folks.

An excellent idea... ...that I simply cannot recommend. Development is glacial, and it seems very disorganized. The UI is absolutely the worst, Controls are unfathomable. (Try beaming back to your ship for a serious lol.) Basically this game has a serious lack of cohesion. You have all of these elements, and they just don't work. Its an awesome idea, with some fantastic direction, but it really isn't coming together, and I can't see this getting finished for at least six to eight months.
