Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime

a nice game to play with friends

Easily get bored after 30mins

My 4yo loves this game and so do I!

This game is beautiful family fun. It reminds me of 'Affordable Space Adventures' on the Wii U with a mixture of 'Radiant Defense' tower defense game I used to play on Windows phone. My family really enjoys playing this game. This is the best game I have invested in - its enjoyable for everyone from all age groups. I have already recommended it to my entire family in various chat groups. Thank you developers. You made a masterpiece.

fire game

This game has been a very frustrating up and down experience. I see many reviews saying this game works best with 3-4 players and I'd have to agree. My partner and I love co-op games, but this one has an incredible jump in difficulty at the start of the third campaign. We coasted through the first two, but the new mechanics like wind, frozen enemies, and enemies that don't ever really die made the game an annoying slog. For now we've stopped playing, which is really disappointing because the first two campaigns were some of the most fun we've had in a co-op game.

I love this game with passion, but for the love of god, WHY ARE THE CUTSCENES NOT SKIPPABLE???

I love this game because it's cute and it says "lovers" <3 <3 <3

This game has a polished modern look but don't be fooled, the gameplay mechanics in this are super fried. The ship controls are jankey asf (which is part of the charm). But it is probably most fun with 3-4 players. I find it easier with single player using the pet friend in the game than 2 players (because of timing). It would be nice if you could have pets with 2 players (since it supports up to 4 players). Either way super cute vibes and addicting gem upgrade system. Would recommend.

A really great game to play with your kids as a couch co-op. Runs perfectly on steam deck.

Spoilers ahead, will be marked!

At the time of review, I have beat the game, gotten all achievements, and unlocked all the player character skins. I have also played this game before on console, so bear in mind that the hours played might be deceptive. I also played by myself, without friends. I played with a controller.

All around, this is a pretty great game! I would say that its greatest strength is the simplicity of its gameplay loop, Explore and Upgrade -> Rescue -> Escape. Though I did not play this with any friends, I can see how this would be a fun/chill game to play with them. The game has a difficulty slider, and is rather forgiving when you die. I would say it is accessible to new players.

The gameplay loop was fun, the achievements were easy for me to grind out (Important if you care about being a completionist), and the music for it awesome. Highly recommend this game.


Spoilers beyond this point!

Since I was playing solo, a CPU assistant aided me in my adventure. It took me a while to learn what the cpu prioritizes, but I was eventually able to work with it just fine. TIP: Put the CPU on Shields. The cpu didn't prioritize the things I would want to shoot at when I put it on the turret, so It mostly just sat on shields instead.

A found some of the gem combos to be underwhelming or confusing.
- Power + Metal on Turret gives you a controllable rocket, but I had problems firing it. Possibly a bug.
- Power + Metal on Shields gives you a shield with *some* protrusions, but not enough so that I would consider using it on any sort of run. My issue with it is that Just Metal or Just Power on Shields gives you a better shield than the combo does.
- Beam + Metal on the Yamato Cannon. Worse than just Metal on the Yamato Cannon: less speed, misses enemies, etc.
- Metal on the Engine. Just leaves Caltrops. Felt lame to me.

On the flip side, i found some combos to be quite powerful!
- Beam + Beam on the Yamato Cannon. Great for obliterating bosses.
- Metal + Beam on Shields. Play legos with your enemies bullets. and joust them. very fun.
- Metal + Beam on Steering. Great for running away from your problems.
- Power + Power on Turret. Best DPS option in the game, I think.

If you want to spend as little time on completing this game as you can, try finding and escaping with all 10 friends in each level before moving on to the next one. You only need 5 to move on, but remember that every level (that isn't a boss level) has 10 people.

I LOVE THIS GAME

Good!

perfect coop experience

fun and easy to master

Me and my friends got this and it was really fun. With great mechanics and a healthy variety of choices for upgrading your ship, for the price it is (I got it at RM15.50) it's absolutely worth it especially when you only need one person to buy it and you can play remotely, or actually get out of your house. It's also not super rage inducing so on normal it's a great casual game to play. Although I do think this game is best suited for 4-players as I don't think it's possible with 2 players unless you're doing it as a challenge or are the Faker of couch games

10/10

Nice game bu absolutely atrocious controller management. Makes it extremely frustrating to play with more than 1-2 people. Every time you launch the game, controllers and their buttons get randomly reassigned. You then have to go through the painstaking process of assigning each player their controller, and re-assigning controls for each controller. If you don't, half of the controllers don't work, and the other half control more than one character. This also happens if your controller goes to sleep or gets accidentally disconnected, ruining the whole experience. Probably 75% of the time we just ended our gaming session because of that.

I'm not a god-tier gamer - my skill level is roughly on par with 'normal difficulty' for most games (not Fromsoft lol). On beginner mode, my partner and I found the 2nd half of the game stressful rather than fun. Maybe this game is optimally designed for 4 players? Maybe I'm disproportionately bad at this type of game? Make of this what you will.

One of the best local co-op games I've played in years

Great for family coop

its a good couch co-op game that is operating the cockpit and protecting the spaceship to travel and save friends

Fun and challenging but can only be played with friends on remote play, be sure to have controllers if you are playing with more than two people

neat

A co-op multiplayer dream

This is the first 4-player local co-op that I've played with my family, so it will always hold a special place in my heart <3 It was SO MUCH FUN from beginning to end for all of us, including young kids and a non-gamer wife. All-in-all, it took us 6 hrs to complete the main campaign together. Thumbs up for a great family game.

Quirky and fun. True indie gem best enjoyed with friends. Great on Steam Deck.

This is co-op done *so* right. Highly recommended. Works perfect for 2 players, and it was specifically designed for 2 players, so I recommend playing it that way. I have not tried the other player counts, so I can't recommend one way or the other for those.

Just a heads up that this game has some minor weirdness if you leave the frame rate uncapped, BUT capping it at 60 fps solved the issues we had completely, so if you run into something funky, give that a try. It would have been nice to be able to use 144 FPS like my monitor can display, but neither of us playing felt this impacted the experience in any meaningful negative way, so I encourage you to not let that affect a purchasing decision like it might for other games where you may feel this limit much more.

Pretty good with a group of crazy friends in the same room

Seriously one of the best couch coops I've played. I've been looking forward to something like it for a while. My nieces love it.

An absolute blast to play with the whole family!

Two things to know up front:
* This game only works hot-seat with controllers. Even with remote play together, just a little latency will make it difficult to perform well.
* It's a way higher-skill and higher-communication game than you'd think at first glance.

It's super cute, though, and definitely worth a few hours if you have 1-3 friends who are fans of co-op.

You will team up to pilot a sort of spaceship vessel, manning its various weapons and defensive systems. Similar to games like Regular Human Basketball, you will control a little crewmate who hops around inside the vessel to various stations which give you different abilities. The story is ultimately kind of forgettable, but that's fine.

the theme and setting seems casual, but the game is demanding and VERY FUN, one of the best designed games ive ever played, you could even say its on par with left 4 dead 2 and such

Add online co-op

I love this game. One of my favorites of all time. It's so hard that no one wants to play with me lol

skibidi

awsome co up game!

Gotta love this co-op game. It's so cute, even when you're yelling at each other

its good

This is a really fun couch co-op, but don't let the looks deceive you, it is challenging! Best played with 4 human players of similar skill level.

good game

This was a game I commonly played while I had my PS4, and played it with friends (because it was the only way to beat the boss battles, was to have multiple non-NPC players) a lot. This game is a good multiplayer game that uses strategy, planning, coordination, and communication among teammates, and while sporting the most adorable art style, is in fact quite a difficult game. If you like a challenge while also loving the cute art style, this is the perfect game for you! Perfect for any couples who want to complete a difficult game together as a fun challenge.

good game

best coop game in my collection

Love, cuddles, murder.

One of the best games for casual cooperative playing up to four players. Nice and beautiful, it also provides a very well balanced challenge of being collaborative with your friends.

Game is charming and has a fun gameplay loop

aaaasaaa

,

Super fun.

Not fun with only two people where one of the people is autistic and bad at switching tasks. Gets pretty frustrating. The sounds of the beam weapon are really grating on the ears. Switching to beginner difficulty is helpful but this game still isn't fun. This game does become tolerable and maybe even slightly fun if you have 3 or more people playing.

I don't recommend this game for a first date. Or for someone you've been dating especially if they suck at fast paced games. BOPL battle is more fun in terms of fast paced games because the downtime is much lower and you don't have to endure the tedium of repeating the same level if you die.
