If you've ever played the old Shadowrun on Genesis, this game will keep you entertained. Lots of fun so far.
Combat (especially decking) could be faster and needs an autobattle button, but that's about my only issue with the game. It's a nice little dungeon crawler otherwise.
In terms of the base game, Starcrawlers is an amazing experience. They creators have gone to painstaking efforts to deliver a sci-fi romp through a corporate run space society. The factions for the most part all have their own story and operate on their own goals, and even though a random generated dungeon is inevitably going to re-paper skins, each place feels unique in its own way.
I also have to praise the characters, where I can't recall playing a game where the classes legitimately feel unique and as if they're playing into the role. Whether it's your hacker throwing cyber attacks on enemies, your tank lobbing bombs and sending out spread fire, your robot charging up his arm cannon and shutting down from errors, your engineer who's building robots that are dancing all over the screen, you're ninja whose every attack has him flying about in front of you, your gunslinger whose engaging in showdowns, or your psychers, who tap light and dark energy and unleash it to devastating, every class literally feels like it's supposed to.
My only gripe with the game is the endgame. Don't get me wrong, StarCrawlers is an excellent 40-60 hour affair which is totally worth the price of admission. The problem is, especially if you';re an achievement hunter, the game has been stretched into a 250 hour+ grind which highlights its failings due to the ambition involved. It feels like a lot of this was just tacked on, because when you start playing alternate faction stories, you realise the plot beats are mostly identical, with your liaisons literally saying the exact same lines. Loot, especially armour and shields, becomes completely pointless, whereby the high end stuff from level 28-30 in the original game completely wallops drops in NG+ from the 30-50 range simply because the epics are jam packed with resistances that greens and blues don't have. And while the immersion when you're first introduced to the game is top-tier, once you've been forced to run 500+ dungeons you begin to realise that the variation between enemies and settings is rather superficial.
Is this enough to say the game isn't worth it? No. But there is a part of me that wishes they'd have forsaken NG+ and high grind achievements in favour of coding three unique stories for whatever faction your StarCrawlers decide to align to.
I thought this was quite fun. But my favorite part was that you could re-spec the Talents so could tweak your people all around.
The game is great. Don't buy the soundtrack bundle. The soundtrack gets you an empty folder. My emails to their support have gone unanswered and their website gives me a security error when I try to visit it.
I wish this game were good. Horrible UI, unintuitive and opaque game mechanics, imbalanced difficulty.
....
Better than I thought it'd be. For one, this feels like a fantastic way to get into the dungeon crawler RPG genre, a lot of the classic mechanics are modernized and both easier to control and understand. Secondly, this game plays a lot better than just screenshots and video show. The game has fantastic atmosphere, jamming music, and combat/sound effects in general feel really satisfying. The procedurally generated dungeons feel pretty comfy and the specification of each according to the target you're infiltrating really helps diversify the locations. The loot, enemies, and the environment in general will change and it lends another angle to the whole taking sides aspect. The gameplay is solid and pretty easy to understand, with most of the classes feeling powerful in their own right. The random events are also pretty enjoyable and feel surprisingly impactful, in one of them I actually managed to recruit a cyber dog that you can call into combat and exploration from then on. I also enjoy how itemization works, where you don't have to identify an item to know what's special about it but you do have to spend money to unlock all the special traits. I've been playing on hard (or expert, whatever the one before hardcore is) on ironman, lost one run but been doing pretty good on this one. If you're looking for a dungeon crawler that equally juggles chill exploration vibes with tense risky fights with little downtime, or if you're a newer face to the genre, this is a great game to pick up.
It has the same formula other dungeon crawlers do but with a scifi setting but I will play pretty much any dungeon crawler I can get my hands on.
It is a dungeon crawler in space.
I recommend it if you like dungeon crawlers.
I don't recommend it if you solely like the aesthetic but aren't already into dungeon crawlers.
I have played 63 hours of it but this game is not for a mainstream audience.
