PULSAR: Lost Colony

This is a dice game that has this weird and bland space game attached to it. You keep warping to places engaging in boring combat with little stakes or you warp to some planet where there are boring dungeons, with ugly designs, to grab this one item for some quest. Some jobs of the crew don't matter, completely superfluous. But enough about that, the real game is the dice. There are a few bugs to it but works relatively well. Like when someone joins you at the table late it will add his hand to the game even though he can't partake, which still changes how many of each eyes there can be. Otherwise great fun. I think half my time spent was with the dice. The space thing, though? Boring. Don't bother.

Сэр Да Сэр!

Fantastic space sandbox. There are tons of mechanics and systems to learn and tinker with! -play with 4 people online via lobby browser, or singleplayer with 4 bots. -bots priority sets can be extensively customized to automate their behavior to very specific scenarios. -tons of ships and components (weapons, shields, hulls, processors, upgrades) -can do missions but is largely unguided sandbox. can pirate, scrap, bounty hunt, respond to distress calls, etc. -each role has a lot of systems to it, fun to start with the basics, and fun to learn to micro-manage in-depth. -space-ship based combat, ground-based combat with small arms. -with so many systems, there's such a wide array of ways to take down the enemy! you can enter a sector cloaked and run viruses to steal their money unawares. Or, you can come in guns blazing. Or, you can take a boarding party to the enemy ship and steal it. Or, you can teleport over to the enemy ship and overload their reactor core. Or, you can cloak into a system with multiple enemies, run a backdoor virus to their strongest ship and sneak in, kill the crew aboard, turn the enemy flagship against it's allies in a surprise attack. The possibilities are endless and i think you'll really love this game!

Would absolutely recommend this in place of whatever dumpsterfire Elite Dangerous is, surprisingly good community and it's quite the clean experience! Keep in mind the dev team is quite small but don't let that stop you from recommending changes or reporting bugs! They probably still want to hear that kind of stuff. I would absolutely love more to do in this game and I want to hopefully 100% what's in the game already as is. The singleplayer can be annoying at times due to AI not working exactly right, but it's quite the nice experience still if you don't have friends or people are busy. Or you just, need someone to cover a role and no one's joining. Favorite Co-op Indie game!

It's rough around all the edges but I've had a great time with friends RPing in the game as a crew.

I want to like this game. But finding a mission is difficult, and it feels like wondering around aimlessly.

legit one of the worst games i've played in recent memory. no tooltips anywhere. no tutorial. ship controls are terribru. it takes over 2minutes just to jump to a new sector and you often have to jump 10+ times to get to a quest location, so that's 20minutes of your life gone, just from loading. game starts up at 4k rez with uncapped framerate, which immediately maxes your PC out in the main menu (New World says hello).
