Very fun little indie pilot game
havent played in 10 years but i think i remember it being ok. but i was 11 so i dont beleive me
Sol Exodus is a slightly basic, story driven flight simulator in the same vein as X-Wing or Wing Commander, but with a lot less nuance. Don't expect detailed control, such as shield levels or gun loadouts, but just simple, mouse driven combat.
Each level has you battling various waves of enemies, trying to ensure you don't afterburn too much, shoot your guns for too long (the cooldown period is outrageously long) or squander your missiles. If you do well, you'll unlock two points for the upgrade trees (incremental boosts in Guns, Health, Afterburner) - again, nothing complex. The overall effect is that of a mobile game, where you are encouraged to retry levels to achieve the best score, and thus get 2 points. However, the game is so easy that i only missed the maximum level on 1 occasion.
Graphically the game is surprisingly beautiful, particularly so since it dates from 2012. It's clear that some of that is down to wonderfully detailed textures, not model work, but still, it's impressive even in 2022. Audio design is rather disappointing however: weapons sounds are reasonable, and feedback is okay, but nothing that really stands out.
The story of humanity having found a new earth to move to and 'space church' determined to stop our hero from telling everyone (and for everyone to die on earth instead) is rather silly, but is no worse than big blockbusters from the 2000's like Starlancer, and it's reasonably well voice acted, if a little dispassionately.
Gameplay is of course the main reason you're there, and it's serviceable, not hard, but enough challenge to keep you dancing around for the few hours you'll be playing.
Overall, a good way to spend a couple of hours, but it sits at an odd interface, mostly because of it's length, but also when it was released: It's either an incredibly well developed indie game, which feels like a prologue to something much bigger (aiming, like Elite Dangerous did, to bring back space-sims); or it's a far too short main game, struggling to re-ignite the flame in the story-driven Space Sim genre defined by the likes of Freespace, X-WIng, Wing Commander.
The price suggests the former, and maybe the sequel delivers the 'something bigger', but if so, that sequel also needs to add a lot more complexity to capture the under-served market that exists for story driven, and to do means adding a lot more complexity, and a lot more gameplay.
So far it's a retelling of Battle for Sol which I really liked. Better graphics, better flight mechanics, but ship functionality. So far it's a solid space combat arcade Sim type of game. Very reminiscent of Wing Commander and StarLancer
Pros
- Graphics are good.
- Cheap
Cons
- Only three weapons to select and they all have CD or easy overheat.
- Storyline is weak.
- Campaign is short and there are bugs keep me from proceeding.
- The mission objectives may be very unclear. I realized sometimes I just need to wait and sit there doing nothing for something that will automatically happen when the time is up. This is very frustrating.
Sol Exodus is a "space fighter" game that is exceedingly difficult due to enemies that move too fast / your own ship that move too slow, forcing you to rely on missiles which you only have a very limited supply. You are also often saddled with extra objectives like protecting other ships. The missiles are so slow and ponderous you wonder if you're playing a 1970's game rather than a space game. And the plot about a religious zealot organization with starships that puts the human exploration command to shame yet the exploration command was the organization tasked with finding a planet for the citizens and colonists of Earth. WHERE did these yahoos get the money? The plot made no sense, the weapons are weak and lame compared to classics like Wing Commander or Freespace, or heck, even current clones like Eterium. it's basically an indie clone with the barest of backstory. Graphics are not bad, but overall it's an also-run that were difficult to play long-term.
This is an entertaining game. It's not Freespace; the story isn't as good, there are no squad mechanics, and nearest I can tell no branching mission line. For those reasons nor is it Wing Commander. It's also, in my view, a bit too easy. It is also too short. That said, it was an entertaining few hours (my profile says 52 hours because I went out of town and left the thing running in the background, but I finished it in three hours over the last two days).
I'd recommend it if it's on sale for a few bucks. This is not a game you really want to spend $25 or something for. For $6 I think it would be worth it. $8 might be pushing it a bit.
Anyone buying this game expecting Wing commander or Freespace look somewhere else. You only got 1 ship, no different weapon loadouts and a bad story. I would not recoomend this game. 2/10 stars.
Try the demo before buying. Trust me, the game is much worse.
This game crashes on startup for me, and the problem seems to occur for others, according to the community page. There is not likely to be a fix. Try the demo at the very least before buying.
Interestingly, this game used to work for me. I don't know what broke it - possibly the upgrade to Win10, but there is at least one person reporting the crash on Win7. From what I remember, it was fairly fun, but that is irrelevant if it doesn't run any more.
I really want to like this game. Plot is great. Voice acting is superb for a videogame. But it's just not Wing Commander, and it plays like a sloooooooow MMO, where you're pretty much doing the same things for EVERY.BORING.MISSION. Sure, the game may throw a new gun or missle or enemy type at you once in a while, but it always feels tacked-on and insignificant. Not like Wing Commander. How many of us replayed that mission in WC3 thinking we could repatriate Hobbes? How many of us played that mission in WC4 twenty times, thinking if you just flew good enough, you could end the game early by destroying the Kilrathi homeworld with Tolewyn's secret weapon? You will find nothing here that grips you like that, at least gameplay wise. Like I said, the story is pretty cool, so I'm just going to watch it like a movie on somebody's YouTube channel that does playthroughs.
What is SOL: Exodus?
it is a rather short but cool linear space sim. You control a small fighter against alot of enemies and usually have to protect some ship with too low hp (even on easy) the game has a rather neat hacking system tho, wich makes it a bit more interesting.
The campaign can be completed in 3hours on easy but will take maybe up to 10 hours on hard depending on your skill and luck as your teammates are really useless.
The good:
- its a space arcade sci-fi fighter sim
- hacking is new and interesting
- hard difficulty is hard
- mission challenges makes you want to replay missions
- the achievements are doable
- xbox controller support
The bad:
- Too short
- Repetative
- Hard is too hard
- no co-op or mp
- your ships flight path is weird sometimes, this can be very annoying
In short if you like arcadey space battle games this game is worth checking out on a sale, just dont expect AAA quality.
despite its shortcomings I actually had alot of fun.
*scaled rating at the end*
I wanted to like this game. I really did. But it's just to plain and dumbed down. It can almost fly itself. Space combat here reminds more of Independence War. You can literally spin around 180 degrees. Kinda like doing sports car drift in space. Interestingly, it does not work with CH Products sticks but is perfect with my Logitech 3D Extreme. Acting and story telling are straight out of the Alien Breed Series. Wingmen are useless. Most of my missions were solo.
The only reason for my low scores here is that I bought this and Freespace 1 & 2 at the same time. I loaded this first. But played both versions of Freespace and the modded version of Freespace before a played the fifth mission of this. When a 10 year-old game gets my time over a new game....hmmmmm. Well, I'm just saying.
Thumbs up because it works and I bought on on 80% off sale.
Graphics 8/10
Audio 8/10
Controls/UI 9/10
Immersion 4/10
Grind Level 3/10 (low is good)
Replay Value 3/10
Overall fun 4/10
I honestly can't decide whether to recommend this game or not. Decent story, decent gameplay and mechanics, basic fun space shooter. What I can't get over is that a cheat is pretty much required for mission #4, and that I beat the whole game in 5 hours with one cheat after spending a couple of hours stuck on that one mission. I want to say 2.5 or 3 out of 5 stars...which I guess for Steam means not to recommend. There are better space fighting games out there.
I feel this game has too many bad reviews, that don't do it justice.
The gameplay is excellent. It's similar to freelancer, but with inertia and glide/slide mechanics. It's a joy to pilot the fighter!
Sure it could be longer and have more options, ships and whatnot, but then it wouldn't have this price tag.
Great dogfights, varied mission objectives. Hope they make a second one!
I am a hardcore fan of Space-Combat-Exploration simulation/arcade games. I own and played a lot of them, in every category. I enjoyed most of them and have fond memories of each one.
This game is an exception. Its combat mechanics are horrible, visuals are so and so, the music and sound generally is out of place, and the story is laughable.
This is a rare case of a game that I'll leave it unfinished, uninstall it, and never think of it again. And so shoud you
It's not bad - more Starlancer than X-Wing or Freespace. But sometimes you don't want the complexity of all those systems to manage. It would be perfect if they made a Battlestar Galactica mod for it, since it's got the whole "WW2 aircraft carriers, only in space!" vibe. All in all it's more than worth the < $5 cost these days
It doesn't take long to complete but its still kinda fun, however, the best space combat sims still belong to yester-year. Track down Freespace 2 to see how things should be done (and if you do, remember to add on all those lovely, graphic enhancing mods!).
Very Short Campaign, Great Game play. Adds a new Unique feature to Dog fighting called Sliding. the best way to describe it would be a 360 degree turret ability with all guns and missles. It integrates almost seemlessly with the navigation controls so you are able to pilot and shoot with it. The AI Elites can be a handful without sliding so if your having trouble learn to use it. That said however the AI has a serious flaw with close proximity to solid objects, if you lure them into a dogfight at very close range to a large ship they may crash into it killing themselves. I was able to do this twice, once by accident the second time on purpose ^_^.
Overall, a very thought out and well made space combat sim. The story and campaing however due to it being much to short was a dissapointment.
Beautiful game. Unfortunately, that's all there is. Controls are shot and unless the company intends to patch it massively, they're going to be bad, even with a dedicated flight stick/HOTAS setup.
This game recieved a 57 aggregate score on Metacritic; I'm assuming this reflects the initial unpatched version. I'd give it an 84, mainly because of the short length (3.6 hours for one playthrough). At the price point however, that is reasonable, and the game is very fun. Pick it up; it's worth the money.
As much as I wanted to love this game, it's terribad.
Controls are garbage, with no real mouse support (the virtual stick which they've added in is a complete joke that may as well not even exist for how useless it is) in this day and age, kills any hope of it having any life beyond a $2 sale. Games from 10 years ago managed to get this right, out of the box, there's simply no excuse today.
Length is unforgivable despite the bargain bin price. At BEST, the game is 4 hours of playtime, so unless you get it at the $2 sale price mentioned above, it's simply not worth putting up with and wading through the aggravation.
There's suggestion from the developer that there will be DLC, but honestly, they need to give away content until it reaches a MINIMUM of 10 hours before even considering charging money for what should have come with the game.
$2 max is all it's worth. Don't bother otherwise.
For anyone who likes first person spaceship shooting games, this is a great find. The game play is solid, the story is smooth, and the action is packed. It will keep you busy for hours and leave you wanting to play it all over again. I'm anxiously awaiting the next release.
