Devouring Stars Reviews

I enjoyed playing for the first hour although the premise of the game is quite simple. But after that the game broke and wasn't displaying properly, tried reinstalling which didn't work. It could be something wrong with fullscreen or the resolution but when you can't select the settings menu because it's off the screen it counts as a game breaking bug. It seems the deveploers have no intention of fixing this as there is another reviewer who had this problem 2 years ago so BUY AT YOU OWN RISK

Easy to pick up, levels of varying difficulty, a kickass story inspired by Greek gods, and one of the best soundtracks of the year. You should check it out! Quick video review: https://youtu.be/fk7ialZk4xE

It's a great game, despite it's simplicity in design, it's beautiful. In fact, it is beautifully simplistic, it has a kind of beauty that no AAA game could match, because no AAA game would ever be this simplistic in design and such. The story is there, it isn't super hugely important to the game, unless I missed some of it. But I still love to play it every now and again, and I just enjoy seeing the different ways I can get my stars to swirl. Side note, in case a Dev reads this and is still looking at fixing bugs, I found that sometimes when you are using Rhea(I had used Clotho beforehand and had the Adelei(not sure if i remembered their name correctly) as allies and had Rhea controlling them) you can end up teleporting your allies somewhere else on the map, instead of just moving them inside of Rhea to protect them. Just something to look at, it only happened a couple times and I wasn't able to recreate it reliably, just once or twice.

I really enjoyed this easy to play game that was super enjoyable and even re downloaded it yesterday after not playing for a long time. However, i encountered a glitch in my first hour of play that forced me to reboot the game because I couldn't press any buttons. Today when I booted up the game it is appearing 90% off screen and is unplayable. Highly recommend once this issue is resolved.

I highly recommend this beautifully animated game. It's only downfall is some bug that made the full screen mode incompatible with my computer, hopefully this isn't the case for all computers

This game is truly bizarre. It has a nice atmosphere but it doesn't seem like a whole lot of forethought was put into the actual gameplay. I'd avoid this game unless you're just into the idea for the art.

Devouring Stars is a pretty fun, if somewhat easy game with interesting and unique concepts.

So since i have played this game for a while, time to give you my first impression: So this is the first RTS i have played for quiet some time, and i realy enjoy it. You don't have to controll to many units but still it has enough tactical depths due to the merging of entities to keep you playing the game for some time. Which is supportet by the randomly generated levels. You every run with a few standart units you can select, and when you finished a map (consisting of serveral levels) you move on the the next on and unlock new slots so you can bring more entities into the next level. Plus you are able to keep the advanced (merged) entities if you dont loose them in battle. Thus, over time you are able to build a small army to fight you enemies. There are several different scenarios you can find yourself into, like a trap or fights for portals (which bring you to the next level). I quiet enjoy the artstyle of the game and the background (beeing an entitie which can devour stars is kind of cool :P) Although the main reason i bought it was the freature to get new units by combining basic ones. That is kind of cool, but i hope in future development it will be more nessecary to switch between the different advanced units more, however it might also be that i'm not far enough into the game to realy make that nessecary. Potenitall buyers should keep one thing in mind: Eventhough it says "multiplayer" right now this is local only (and even that is not the real game). I hope they will be able to work on a real multiplayer cause the features this game offers for that are great and i would love to battle other players with and devour their part of the universe :P

I like it! The concept is cool and the controls are easy. You can feel it's an alpha on some places however. A little tweek here and there and we are golden! There is a LOT of potential and there are so many combinations to make the game interesting. Also it's just great to look at, the stellar map truly makes you feel like you are gazing upon existance like some cosmic being, or god. The little captions inbetween destinies, and at the beginning of battles do tell a story. Even great cosmos eating entities wage war, and claim territory, they fight among eachother even as they hunt you. Which makes you think, are the gods, or the titans, or great devils and creators in the unverse, truly so different than us?

Devouring Stars is one of those little indie games that you never give much thought until you finally break down and buy the game. After everything gets set up in the beginning, the various controls, how the game works and the all important vague back story, you realize that you've just stumbled across an amazing find in the realm of video game gold. Devouring Stars is built for, what I think, is a very select group of people; those that like back story but don't feel it's the win-all for a game to be great. This game has a very vague story to it that really makes you pay attention to it in the beginning and then seems to just drop it all together whilst you play the game. But in truth is more of a subconscious, behind the scenes telling that really, in my opinion, makes this game so great. The premises of Devouring Stars, without giving anything important away, is that there are tribes of Ancient Titans living in the deep of Tartarus, which is the Ancient Greek form of deep dark hell. And these titans take many forms; from the smallest once based around the elements, Earth, Fire, Water and Wind; to the greater titans like Chaos itself. The tribe you follow is the tribe of Chaos and its story of death and hopeful rebirth. In the beginning of the game you see your grand titan Chaos being destroyed by the other tribes. You then learn that all that survived of this once great tribe, was a lowly fire titan. Which you now must use to enact the rebirth of Chaos. This in turn leads to the discovery of other Chaotians still living in various parts of the universe, and of mysterious beings that may or may not help you on your journey. At the end of the day, if you don't think that story alone is enough for you to buy the game, check out some game play of it on YouTube. It will take a bit to get accustomed to. Not everyone is good at throwing stars at black holes trying to kill them.. And here is that game play I was talking about!: https://youtu.be/7jyM_7oIE4E
