Stellar Interface Reviews

It's bland, slow and boring. I'mma gettin' really tired of these indie games that take very basic gameplay, and then throw in a soup of randomized upgrades and hope that good game design somehow emerges from it. Least they could've done was had some nice art assets, but all the sprites in the game look very basic too, and the background (which are crudely animated) crawls at snail's base - likely to mask the lack of background art assets in the game. Perhaps the game gets more fun the longer you survive, but as it stands the early game is really tedious. Four runs is all I could take, and I don't care for the typical, mushy "lol, so many randomized items, so awesome!" game design.

Stellar Interface is a fun little rouge-like space-shooter with a bunch of replay value. With its retro graphics and challenging gameplay, it is perfect for those who are fans of the classic arcade games and retro space shooters. With 100+ upgrades/perks, there are countless ways to spec out your ship, leading to a different experience every time you start a new run. The bosses are all fun with unique mechanics and the music is awesome. Overall, if you are looking for an arcade style space shooter, this game is well worth picking up. It is also great on Steam Deck.

The game does not signal clearly enough what is happening. I just played it for a few minutes and would randomly get taken from the level into some sort of screen where I could select an upgrade. Had I beaten a boss? Had I progressed a level? I didn't see anything while I was playing that would indicate that. This seems like fairly basic stuff, but you really can't play a game where you can't even tell if you've beaten a level or not.
