Not a huge amount though, just a lot of little things that need a better even small explanation of why they won't work. There are some niggling issues with it though, and some things just need to be made clearer, which no doubt the developer will get a ton of feedback on now that anyone can buy it and play it. Honestly, I've been really sucked in by this one and the hours really do just fade away into space. The music is soft and blends nicely into the background, while you're listening to all your little robots and people get to work. It has some fantastic ambiance to it too. It's there that Stardeus thrives, letting you click around and discover everything it has to offer as you research new buildings, and attempt to revive more of the population you have sitting in stasis. Since there's a huge amount to the game, the tutorial only covers so much and it does get to a point where you're on your own. It will still sprinkle in some quests though, so you're not entirely alone right away. Kido Linija expect it to be in Early Access for 2-3 years where they will add in more scenarios, story events and various other features. It can take many tens of hours to get there though, and with it being in Early Access no doubt it will change and expand over time.Įven though it's unfinished, there's a lot to enjoy with this one already and tons of content available to play through with a few different scenarios. Instead, the idea is that you build up enough and explore to find a suitable planet for colonization. The whole point of what you're doing here is not to aimlessly wander the stars. Unlike certain other similar games, Stardeus does have an end-game win condition. Thanks to that, it's quite easy to get into it. The developer has kept it in a closed-beta for some months now, and the introduction has been smoothed-over quite nicely with a tutorial that nicely walks you through various parts of the game as you go. While it is a pretty huge game, with lots to learn, it's also surprisingly accessible. YouTube videos require cookies, you must accept their cookies to view.
