Absolute Territory

Just started it up to configure it and see how the flight and combat feel before getting into the meat of it. IT'S AWESOME.

This game is good. It feels a little barren when you're flying around with nothing nearby to see, but the game is good.

This is a great little space fighter title. Wing Commander boiled down to the essence. Played with mouse and keyboard for a bit, but HOTAS is the way to go. Getting them set up was a breeze, though if you are the kind of person that tweaks your deadzones and such to the nth degree with every title, you might find the options a little lacking. Very fun, well worth the price of admission. I'll definitely return to it again and again when I want some starfighter action without much complication.

This is an amazing space dogfighting sim, obviously inspired by the original Wing Commander games, but with realistic physics and good graphics. It has 6DOF - you can strafe or turn in any direction, though forward is obviously strongest. Turning on "slide mode" is the same as flying decoupled, you keep going in the same direction unless you apply thrust. Briefings are text only, very simple and not much background info, but I love that you can get to the action quickly, without grinding or other tedium. My HOSAS (dual VKB Gladiator NXTs) work well, after going through the menus to assign axis and buttons. I wish there was a way to assign different buttons to the different primary weapons - rather than only being able to switch between either or both, I would like to press button one for laser repeater, button two for neutron bolts, etc. One thing missing is that there aren't really any damage states, you are either fine or you blow up. Also, the ship panels are kinda annoying because they are just static background graphics to be ignored. But if you just want to jump into a starfighter and dogfight some bad guys this is a great game.

good gaime

Нееее, странная пострелушка в "космосе" (мы засунули вас в пустую сцену, сделали hdri космоса и сказали что это космос) с нулевыми звуками, нулевым ощущением полёта и при этом банальности процесса. А еще я молчу о том что разраб явно в игры не играет, потому что не могу обьяснить раскладку управления которая расположена где угодно но не там где удобно.

Undercooked. The UI, cockpit design, sound effects, directional audio, audio mixing, visual feedback, tutorial missions and music are so unappealing that I don't want to play this game. Even the long pauses between menu screens and 'Autopilot' jumps are annoying. It's like these features were designed in a vacuum, I don't think they mesh well together. Keyword is 'holistic'. I would rather replay Descent or Freespace instead, even if they use lower quality compressed assets. I like the Knossos mod client. Oh, and I had gotten used to the more modern casual Half Life 2 airboat WASD style control scheme, I think this game maps the keyboard to a Wing Commander layout by default, but it's remappable so it's not a big deal. Just not as easy to pick up and play as more modern intuitive arcade spaceship starfighter games. This game didn't have the budget to truly shine. I'll have to check out the sequel.
