Carnage in Space: Ignition Reviews

i played it and i said FLAT NO IN RECOMMENDATIONS IN satire illusions

Summary: I don't have a lot of experience with this type of game, so I am really bad at this, but have still enjoyed myself so far. The dialogue is witty and you're able to get into the action pretty quickly. The game is challenging and it seems like a lot of thought was put into the level design. Sometimes the controls feel a bit clunky, but that is very likely just me needing more practice. Pros: From what I have been able to get through so far, the story is fun and the dialogue has been amusing. You're able to get into the first "boss fights" pretty quickly, which I liked. The higher difficulties are no joke. I had to reset and go to the normal difficulty setting. It's nice to be challenged! Cons: For me, with my lack of experience in this type of game, I have had a tough time reaching any level of proficiency with the controls. My guess is that this would play much better on a controller than with a keyboard/mouse, so I would recommend trying that! I'm not even sure it's necessarily a con-- I am just bad at non-FPS games. This could be perfectly standard for this type of game :) Good work to the developer! I've had fun so far and hope to play more soon.

Carnage in space is an old school sidescroller that would have felt right at home on a snes or genesis. You play an an operative sent to help a settlement in an ongoing war. There is a story here with a few twists and turns that is told through cutscenes. Every level begins and ends with a cutscene so they don't get in the way of the action and they are skippable if you don't want to hear the story. Gameplay is broken up into 9 levels. Level variety is excellent and each level has optional objectives that you can complete in order to receive a higher rank. The optional objectives are fun and varied, some are easy to complete, some are difficult but none are necessary in order to progress. The difficulty of this game is just about right. Completing the levels without finishing the optional objectives should be easy enough, but some of the optional objectives are tricky and will require a few playthroughs to master. Each level ends in a boss fight, the boss fights are well done, the majority of them are challenging without being cheap. Of course the first few are simple, but then you really need to learn the patterns in order to beat them. The control in this game is great, you get a jump, dash, melee, and ranged attack. All the movements are fast and fluid, your character is really fun to control, and there is a wide variety of different weapons and abilities to unlock. These unlockables are the biggest negative in the game for me. Most upgrades are somewhere between 30-80 dollars, and the amount of money you acrue in a level is nowhere near enough to be able to afford them. At the end of the level I would typically have less than 5 dollars, then you get a bonus for beating the level. The bonus is small and if you die in the level it is even smaller, many times my bonus would be a few dollars extra. By the time I had completed the game I only had enough money to purchase 2 items. There are tons of cool weapons in this game but the system for unlocking them is really bad and gets in the way of an otherwise cool feature. Overall, this game is a great game for retro action platformer fans and is well worth the 5 dollar asking price.
