I forgot how polished the GUI is in this game. When it was released it was one of the better looking sims too.
Engagement ranges are much longer than in games like Freespace. I think this is what bounced me off of the game. I just couldn’t wrap my head around ships being so distant yet still able to kill you.
@_@
I had never heard of that game (Starshatter, to be clear) either. Going to check it, be enthused, be humiliated, put it away. The usual!
FYI y’all, Starshatter is free. Go try it out!
I wasted hours with Starshatter many years ago, trying to work out if this game that promised much was any good.
Narrator: it wasn’t
Oh come now, it’s quite good, just really hard.
(AI set to: rookie, check)
Stop posting non-bargains in this thread!

AC: Unity now $9.60 with a coupon code HAPPYUBI. Worth a try if you were put off by internet angst on release but fancy Paris as a setting.

I think the weirdest thing about Starshatter is that it was published by Matrix at one point.
I believe they both were. It was the 2000s. It was a weird time for space gaming.

Fanatical Star Deal today is Civilization VI Gold for a historic low of $26.89. Gold contains the base game, plus 6 Civilization/Scenario packs, plus the Rise and Fall expansion (all as a single Steam key). That’s a great deal.
If you’re a loot box gambler, Fanatical also has the Deluxe Mystery Game for $3.99. The description claims you’ll receive a “Top AAA or Indie title from some of the best Steam developers and publishers”. I don’t know what that means, other than it’s less likely that you’ll receive Bad Rats!.
Humble Store Winter Sale has Grim Dawn on 24 hour flash sale for only $4.49 (with Monthly discount).
Ah ha, I knew if I waited long enough something like this would come along! To the backlog with you!
According to Reddit this is what you might get:
So far
Oops, the Deluxe Mystery bundle seems to have ended already-- it was supposed to run for two weeks!

Is Gloomhaven good for just 2 or 3 people? Do you need someone to DM?
