Airships: Lost Flotilla

Fun gameplay loop, a surprising amount of content, and lots of things to discover/unlock.

A simple and fun game. Worth my money, I'll say. Although there's some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ I'll tell you about the "Air Sailor's Manual" at the bottom of this review... - Gameplay : Simple and fun. And the way you unlocks ships, weapons and things are by completing "Research" in the pages in the "Air Sailor's Manual". Which is to do things like "Kill [number] of [this enemy]." or "Win with [this condition]." - Art Style : Simple and easy to see what is what. Even though it's a top-down view, it still detailed enough to know what is what at a glance. - Music : It's alright. Fit with the theme of the game. - Sound Effect : It's alright. Although some of them are louder than the other and weapon noises you have to hear all the time can get's annoying fast if you don't like how it sound. (For example, "Ritual Circle" sound terrible.) - UI : Serviceable. Info are easy to see. You can also hover your mouse cursor over something to see additional info. Although, you can't look at your ship details during combat. Can only pause with 5 buttons you click and none of them are ship details. - Achievement Difficulty : Easy beside 2 of them. Those 2 about pages are over complicated and confusing. The "Air Sailor's Manual" and the way you unlocks pages...It's overcomplicated and confusing to say the least. It's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, I'll say. The Manual Pages don't have a clear rules on how to unlock it, some page outright HIDDEN. And then I unlock it via the codes and turn out it something I already did! But it wasn't already unlock before that or even after I did the thing. You wouldn't even knows which page is "Hidden" or can be unlocks by playing normally. "Sky Metal" page for example. It said "Win with at least 3 armor" bruh, I have 6! SIX ARMOR! But the page is hidden so I didn't unlock ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. "Navy History" page, "Win with at least four escorts" I HAVE 6 ESCORTS! WHAT YOU MEAN THE PAGE HAS NOT BEEN UNLOCKED!?!?!?! IF IT WASN'T FOR THE SAINT GIVEN CODES (From Community Guide), I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO UNLOCK THEM BY MYSELF. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥! OH, AND IF YOU PUT WRONG CODE IN, THE CODE PAD COOLDOWN TIME GETS LONGER THE MORE TIMES YOU PUT WRONG CODE IN CONSECUTIVELY. SO YOU CAN'T SPAM IT. I hate it, I hate it so much to the "I'm not gonna buy anymore games from this dev again" level of I hate it. (It gives me the feeling that other game this dev make will have similar ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ in it too.) You'll spend days or even weeks deciphering it unless you are the one that came up with it (♥♥♥♥ you!). I neither have the time nor brain power to deciphering it myself. Beside using the Saint's Code, I unlock everything else (Ship, Weapons, etc.) by myself. It easy enough to do. But yeah, beside those. It's a good simple and fun game.
