From the creators of Spec Ops: The Line…
I always liked the idea of playing no the typical star fighter like in so many games, but a cruiser, a destroyer, a dreadnought. Well, here it’s a game about that.
From gaf
Spaceship shooter.
It is F2P, but apparently very fair and no Pay2Win, the voice over dude (from a gaming mag) was content with what Yager have planned, but was barred from mentioning it.
Plays roughly 500 years in the future after a war between two big factions for resources of the solar system.
You’re not part of the factions, but deserters who valued the life of their crew higher than their orders. No lone wolves, since players can group together. Emphasis on teamplay. Those going off on their own will be massacred.
5 different ship types, each available in different configurations/specialisations.
Destroyer - classic warfaring ship
Artillery Cruiser - Sniper
Tactical Cruiser - Healer
Corvettes - hit&run skirmishes, guerilla warfare
Dreardnaughts - humongously large, ridiculous firepower
Not exactly fast-paced action since ships have a sufficient amount of inertia. You need to act according to your role(/ship). Sniper needs to lurk, Corvettes need to zip around. Destroyer and Dreadnaughts are slow, most of the time you try to get the enemies to get hit by a broadside from these bad boys. Manoeuvring reminds them of AC4 Black Flag.
Each class has 4 abilities and primary and secondary weapon turrets
Tactics are very important
Energy management is present (so you can e.g. boost shields at the cost of something else)
Kind of slow, lumbering, but authentic-feeling battles.
Kind of curious that is played in a planet instead of space
