Exark

不太像一个正式发售的游戏，百科里也没写关于暴击暴击倍率之类的词条是什么意思，大概一把打完第一张图只能解锁三分之一的局外成长有拉长游戏时间的嫌疑。

I put 7+ hours into the playtest and demo of this game, and the full product delivers on what I found interesting there. I could dive into the details, but that demo is still there. Go play it. The depth offered here is wonderful. The game is deceptively simple. Plenty to play with, lots of tags and variables to keep track of, and more ways to win than anyone has yet discovered (as is the nature of games with complex interwoven systems like this). Give it a shot, it's worth your time.

Exark has a lot going for itself and stands out with fresh mechanics in the genre. Ultimately, I would like to give a mixed review and heres why: Unfortunately, the game is way too easy. Won my first run, hesitantly put in some additional difficulty modifiers, aced the next one, boldly cranked up the difficulty to maximum, lost on the very first flight, adapted, won on the next try. Each was with a new house (slightly different mechanics), which should have made it harder as well. To be fair: I played dozens of auto-battlers and that probably "helps" to overcome higher difficulties. Still, I like brain-teasers and this, unfortunately, ist not one of those. The idea of having your production as your health is really cool and refreshing. Being able to decide, whether u even wanna go aggressively or not is also enticing. I must admit though, that I always ended up doing both - investing just a little in military lets you finish most of the enemy ships easily. Just concentrating on military was not worth it, because there are just too few enemy ships to sustain your ressources. Additionally, upgrading your buildings in a run needs to be revisited. Usually one of the best ways to boost your build in the genre, in Exark you mostly only get a single-digit production boost, while being able to give permanent stat boosts in the hundreds via other means. One last thing: the performance drops pretty fast when your build really gets going, which is pretty annoying and makes the endless mode a chore of watching a slide. Might also be my modest rig, but its usually sufficient for indie games. Overall, I enjoyed the couple of hours I put in so far. Will revisit after some patches, because I see a lot of potential in the game.

Really enjoy learning all the different effects from buildings, relics, items, etc. and how you can combine them to make an unstoppable ship. The random shops do a good job of making each run feel different than the last, where you might find yourself favoring a certain tag over others or using different buildings. Really fun to play around with all the combinations!

Good game but it has some lagging issues in end stage. No acts though. Just one direction for everything but with randomised assets. Fun though.

Naja also für fast 14 euro nen game rauszubringen was so schwer und unbalanced ist das man nicht mal bis zum ersten boss kommt ist schon ziemlicher mist also da müssen die devs aufjedenfall nochmal am balancing schrauben genauso wie der exp gewinn weil 100 exp für nen run wenn man für nen rank 3000 braucht ist einfach viel zu wenig , die grafik und die idee gefällt mir ganz gut aber das es so schwer ist macht das spiel erlebnis eher meh auch nach mehreren runs ist es halt einfach nur anstreckend zu versuchen die nötigen exp irgendwie zu bekommen um mal einen rang aufstieg zu bekommen das suckt dezent
