This brings back memories. Old school gameplay, with new (and old) graphic style, cleane up cinematics and soundtrack.
Best remaster out there.

It looks good at first glance. But longer you play, more problems arise. Somwhere around 30% of story you realize the truth, this would be better as visual novel, for there is no impact on the game world at all.

You see, you can talk to people, discover they troubles, and story, but there is no way to influence it. For example, two doctors are arguing about how to operate patient. You lissen, talk to them and ... nothing. No operation will ever happen. You just reach end of dialog tree and thats it. Well not really, now you can drain their blood for extra XP.

Witch brings us to XP, you get 5 for any monster, no matter the level, but you get 4000 for drinking dock drunks blood, as he is an NPC. All NPS give you huge XP boost, if you complete their dialog tree. Game tells you that if you dont drink from any NPC you get reward, but there is non, only same lame achievment and one extra line in epilogue. Plus drinking blookd from psychopatic murderer or drug addicted doctor, or any NPC may damage community. Dont know why or how, but it will. But dont worry, nothing will happen unless you kill everyone. And you must drink NPC because ...

Combat is really ♥♥♥♥♥♥. One word: Stamina. You use it to attack, and to dodge, this limits you to one or two strikes, then waiting so you have reserve to dodge attacks. Basically it breaks any combat flow and limits player. You can use firearms, but you have limited ammo. You can use blood abbilities but ... respawn is broken. Like super broken, if you die, you respawn before you engage enemy, but all potions and ammo you used is gone and so is your blood. Thanks to this awesome game design, you end up fighting with your melee and no blood, as you have exhousted all other otpions in previous attempts. Making combat worst part of the game, as it gives you minimal XP.

Story is avarage, you influence nothing. During talking you have only one camera angle, sometimes for 30 minutes. It starts interesting, but in the end, you realize game could be done in like 5 minutes, if characters would be open with you.

Bonus pints: you have strong female cahracter and rich, wall building Trump character. Way to go.
This was really pain to play and I had to cheat in the last 20% for combat was super broken.

Perfect hybrid of FPS and RTS. Game play is well balanced, yet asymmetric. With right mix of RTS, as one player plays as commander and try to persuade others to do what he wants. This goes as you expected - chess but all pieces have free will.

I hade to edit my review for simple reason, devs get lazy. Updates after Fortuna were missing some or most fetures promissed in trailers and dev videos.

In kuva lich update, we get personal enemy boss, that is bes fought by avoiding confrontation. Funny is, you still get audio ques like "you are getting closer" when they plan for you to find its hidden lair. Not in the game, it just spawns and thats it.

In railjack update, you get one mission type that repeats, kill ship kill fighters. No capital battle, capture of captain or anything like that. People play it only to get to las nodes to see its nothing interesting there.

New war update was hypped, but in reality it was just mobile defence event. Same goes for linking multiple squads, it did nothing for game play and is not use outside of event that lastet for month.

Speaking of story, its on hold, didnt progress anywhere.

There were also Steel path update, that add "expert mode", all enemies are +100 level. Very creative, must have took them like months to make. I am sure time well spend.

So thats it. If devs focuse more on quality and less on IRL politics it would be great. Right now, they show trailers and "game play videos", but on release you can just cound missing features. Thats how games die, it starts with empty promises.


Original review:
One of the best free games on steam.
Interested in AAA graphic, solid gameplay, yet pro consumer micro transaction? Look no further.
In warframe you play as space ninja with story so awesome, it takes hundreds of hours to complete.
Plus all expansions are free. And if you get tired of killing, try fishing, mining or preserving wildlife. Warframe has it all.

And there is bright future for warframe, in next year, we can expect full 3D space combat. Fly your ship, or control turrets, take boarding action. Its just everything you ever wanted from team based ship to ship combat. I cant wait to see what will come next.

This game was funded by kickstarter. Sadly devs just abbadoned most of the features. Dont buy it, its just a scam to get as much money as possible.

Game is dead. Developed by single person, that stoped responding.
Dont buy it, will never be done.

Edit: Dev added very small and lazy patch. Ad looks like he is forced to do some minimal work every few months to reman as Early Acces. Development didnt move forwared, game is still very dead.

I got the game in Humble Monthly and I never would have bought it myself.

Low player count results in matchmaking with way more skilled players, this makes the game less fun. Guns are useless, except for the rocket launcher. Everyone is using it because anything else is pretty much useless. Tri-bolt gun projectiles are so slow, it is impossible to hit anything. Lightning gun was nerfed, so it has low range and low damage. From my experience, you will die from rockets because you will be using rockets as the rest is crap.

You have loot boxes, skins, other champions and microtransaction. This game will be dead in a few months as it brings nothing interesting, just a mix of the worst this industry can offer.

Works well as a waiting simulator as you can spend 10+ minutes waiting for a match.

Bad PC port. Controls are made for game pad. Sometimes ander is accept, sometimes it does not work.

You can changet controls form game, just not from main menu. Why? Nobody knows.
I spend 15 minutes learning to jump, as it is by default shif + middle mous button. Why? Nobody knows.
Its is not hard by design, it is hard by bad controls, bad port to PC.
If you dont have controller, dont bother.

In this game you fight monsters with 3 girls. Each has spcecial ability to deal with monsters special attack, that is shown as hazard block on board that you need to solve. Combination of right fighter and opponent is key. This nice twist and good story realy make this game special. And there is 6 CG pictures.
Buy it, it is well worth it.

This game ruined space strategy games for me!

Most complex game I have ever seen. You can choose different FTL methods, that your race use. You have lots of weapons to research, different play styles. And galaxy full of mysteries that needs to be discover.

Plus Paradax constantly improve their games, so it will be even better in future.
