Wrath and Retribution

Really reminds me of Everspace 1 in a good way but it is still unique enough to make it stand out, fun but simple combat, it could use more engaging missions maybe side quests/jobs from stations? 6/10 great game, cool concept execution isn't just there but can't wait to see where the game goes onward. "peak"

This is a really fun space ship shooter. The space theme is done really well, and the story elements are a nice touch without getting in the way of the action. However, I will say it was a bit challenging for me at first and it took me a few attempts to fully understand what was going on, but once I figured it out, it became really addictive The progression and replayability are great, I’m having a lot of fun with it, and I would definitely recommend giving it a try

I will (try to) not summarize anything that has been said before / elsewhere, just my experience with the game. A good deal of work has gone into onboarding the player (there's tutorials for every relevant part of the game), and that's actually quite helpful. With that out of the way, I began exploring the gameplay, backed by a nicely-balanced blend of graphics, sound and music. If you care about story: There is a well-crafted story behind this, but it feels more optional to the game - at least where I currently am. That is to be expected for the genre, but it really helps me sympathize with it and gives the somewhat free mission choice some glue of coherence. It's been a while since I last played a game as arcady as this one. And although the core game loop is rather simple, there is a good amount of mechanics / complexity that wants to be discovered - immediate replay value! Generally speaking, W&R aces the most difficult discipline quite well: it manages the dance on the thin line between frustration and challenge - with each death (permanent, btw), you'll take a valuable lesson with you. In my case, that meant I wanted to replay to prove I was able to tackle this. Given the fact that I really suck at the game, that is a big thumbs up! All in all this game provides me with a fun experience and a good deal of memories creeping up on me - this is as arcade-like as the good-old ones! I'm seeing forward to stretch out further in the galaxy and see what else is in store. But right now, I have a lot to learn beyond how to take down Hounds (easiest enemy type).

I’ve been following this since the demo and the full release does not disappoint. The space combat feels weighty and satisfying, and the rogue-lite elements keep every run fresh. I love the interaction with Merlin – it makes the universe feel alive. The dev is super responsive and already pushing hotfixes to polish the experience even further. If you want a challenging space shooter with great vibes, get this. It’s worth every cent!

I almost wrote this off early on as being too light, but I’m glad I stuck with it because the complexity scales beautifully with every playthrough.

Just a fun space dogfighting sim. Grab your ship, blast baddies, profit. Nice story elements so you feel progress outside of just getting stronger. It's a nice game if you want to just enjoy some flight mechanics and dogfighting gameplay. Easy to pick up and just play for a few minutes. It's the gameplay that really shines. Try the demo before you buy to see if it's your cup of tea.

Really interesting space ship shooter with roguelike mechanic and it makes really engaging. At first, I got so many deaths but I figure it how to play it correctly in a few run and it makes really more interesting to play this game. This game is really rewarding for roguelike mechanic to able upgrades that can makes the ship more powerful each playthrough. Really recommended it!
