Star Merc Reviews

I get the feeling that this game was made by an actual child. The writing is horrible and the gameplay is really bland and basic. And it's not just boring, it's imbalanced.

When I started this game it became worse and worse, the first level starts off really hard but as you play the game more you become invinsible and the combat becomes more and more boring.

Surprisingly great, I think I've got 50 minutes on it so far and many more to come. great job guys.

Broken beyond belief. Unable to scroll screens, unable to interact with objects/npcs. Tried what little help was suggested in discussions. disappointed, Had such high hopes. Requested a refund and moving on. Multiple various script errors. Steam should look into the the product,

This game has some problems, but for the dollar that I paid for it I had fun. The game just drops you in and lets you figure out your own path and see how that chamges the world. I did hit a pooint where I couldn't figure out what to do next, but maybe ill pick it up again one day.

The intro can't be skipped. There are no settings or controls. It makes no sense.

Okay, so the first time I start it up, it plays in a very small window. I kill a creature or two, find a rock with a cave under it and release these parasites and an egg. I go up to the surface, creature I just released attacks me and kills me in a few shots. Also, the first ability you get you can't use, because your energy is too low. I quit. I come back a few hours later, start it up, holy shit it's full screen. I kill all the wildlife and enter a hideout. I go in and find an EMP bomb and all the NPC's attack me. Stealing is bad. I kill three and I run outside. I can no longer go back in the cave, it won't let me. I go north and go back under the rock, release the evil things... This time I don't get any XP for releasing them, so I just stunted my own level. I go outside, none of them will attack me. I can't go back in the rock cave. I can't go back to my ship. I can't find a way to leave the small area I am in. Literally nothing to do. Wtf.

I played this game when it was in early acces and when i saw the full release update i wanted to play again and see if they fixed some bugs and improved the overall feel of the game. After playing for only an hour of the full release i was pretty dissapointed, you could still glitch the first level and not be able to complete it and a freaking quest log is still not added in. So i listed a few things that bothered me about the game. - Adding a quest log would make this game tons better, early on you get a lot of quests but since their is no quest log you basically forget all the quests you were given so your forced to write down the quests npc's give you. - Adding in a difficulty meter for quests and giving enemies and area's levels(basically saying what level every enemie is on the planet) would also make the game better since its too easy to walk into an area where enemies can 2 shot you. Also i still havent found a way to save the scientist in the first level which i thought would have been a quest. - Armors should also be renamed and get different textures their really boring now only being call "armor tier 1" and having the textures the same for all, also would be better if you werent able to buy all of them from the beginning. - You still cant add skillpoints to skills when you lvl up. This could be an amazing game if it were given a bit more love.

I only just downloaded this because I love science fiction, RPGs, and exploration in video games. So far this game looks very promising, however the difficulty level is crazy-high for battles. Enemies can destroy you with two hits. Aside from the difficulty level, the size of the planets is rather small too. Some things that I really like about this game so far are the vague story that hints at a greater mystery and plot and the impressive level of choice. In the very beginning of the game you are told to go do something for your creator, however you can deny him and go explore the universe. I thought that was a pretty nice touch. Aside from the gameplay and level design, the music is a mixed bag. I like the ambient music in the game because it adds a lot to the dark atmposphere, however it loops too quickly and becomes irritating. I would like to keep playing this game and see what it has to offer, but I keep finding myself selectively battling because my resources are running low and battles are unfair. Overall I am happy with my purchase of this game so far. My main recommendations are to focus more on memorable music with longer tracks that are distinguishable in the game and not generic. Then lower the difficulty to the point that the battles are not unfair and the player can actually grind without using a ton of health potions. If those issues are fixed then I would focus on making the planets larger and more explorable. That is obviously easier said then done, so the music and difficulty lowering should be top priority. This truly is a unique and ambitious game. I just hope it keeps improving and that people will take notice and buy it when it is finally finished.

I absolutely loved this game the second I saw it on the my discovery page. I love weird sci-fi, space games and although quite primitive I thought it would be some fun. And when you are explorin the universe this guy's created it is awesome. The problem isn't that there's something wrong with the game, it's that this game isn't finished. Many people have said the same thing and froom finally playing the game I agree. It isn't just that there's a lack of polish, which I could easily forgive, or even that there a few small issues with the game, it's that it feels like there a whole section of the game that's missing. Right I'm stuck because I forgot what a guy told me to do to progress and theres no way to see certain dialogue's after they are said. Also, giving the NPC's on the world something to say would help a lot in making this world feel more real. Some places have ambient NPC dialogue, but most don't. And the fact that this game hasn't been updated in over 6 months tells me that they stopped working on this game long ago. Unfortunately I cannot recommend even though I want to so badly. Given some life and some direction this game could have been great.
