eu achei muito divertido, mas não tem tanta coisa. se você curte esse estilo de jogo, vai ser uma boa opção
Fun game, many good puzzles and interesting interactions. It falls off towards the last 1/3 or 1/4 of the game
A must play in my opinion. I keep coming back to refinish they game again and again. It is just my type of game.
Fun puzzle game, not too hard but that's not that big an issue
Weird mix of turnbased grid movement with real time attacking and moving enemies.
The game really deserves more attention.
There is something too basic about this game. It takes me back to a simpler time. The controls don't lead to fun gameplay. I liked the colours, art style and the landscapes the player is able to explore, just not enough. The checkpoint restart seems to force the player into repeating levels a little too much. I am not drawn back to this title very much. The controls are just too simple. There is no depth. 4.5/10
Fantastic game. Great art, cute humor, delicious puzzles.
I only wish it had a sequel
Fantastic little game. The real-time and turn-based mechanics combine in super weird and interesting ways. It's marketed as a strategy game here on Steam, but it has some strong puzzly qualities to it as well--it's full of little pockets of space which function as closed puzzle systems you have to pick apart and solve.
I played it years ago, when it first came out, and I still find myself thinking about it. Great audio, cute animations, and some fun twists. A rewarding use of my time for sure! I think it deserved better than it got, and if there was ever a follow-up or a sequel, I'd play it for sure.
A puzzle game for all ages, with a small amount of timed events.
Although I'm not working off of a score system for this quick review, all elements make this a very enjoyable game.
Gameplay: great
Music: catchy (could use longer loops, but the short-style matches the game well)
Easy to play and new concepts are introduced as needed, in comical fashion. Good humor throughout.
Suitable for Big Picture mode.
Get it, play it, enjoy it and then go back and challenge yourself to a better time or even a perfect run.
A really nice aesthetic and an interesting idea, which is let down by the game just not having a fun core mechanic and the principles of game design not really being thought about.
You reveal the map a few spaces in advance of your position but this only really serves to trick the player into heading into a situation that kills them, every now and then, in a mildly annoying, unavoidable death. Enemies are simple and just trade blows with you, there is no 'rock, paper, scissors' balance to the combat and the levels, whilst they do hide items, don't encourage exploration with visual or audio feedback and there's no clue until after the mission, as to how many secrets are in the level, so the only encouragement to explore a level, is if the player has an urge to return to a level, which doesn't differentiate itself from the others in the area, with interesting layouts or anything like that.
Overall, it just isn't worth playing. Again, though, big props to the graphic designers who worked on the game, as that part is really well executed.
Nova-111 is an excellent puzzle game with some really fun innovations to a pretty stale genre. If you like old-school 2D puzzle games like Adventures of Lolo, then this is for you. At first, Nova-111 seems like a typical turn-based puzzle game on a grid. But quickly you learn that some elements in the environment are in realtime. For example, you have to juggle turn-based enemies with realtime laser turrets. This makes for some very fun maneuvering. At first, all your ship can do is bash into enemies, but as the game progresses you gain some additional abilities like a smart bomb and a teleport gun that lets you move two squares in one turn. (And more powers that are better left a surprise.) Overall the game is not very difficult but if you want to save every scientist and find every secret area (while also minimizing your damage and number of moves) then you can make yourself a real challenge. The enemies are fun and varied with interesting patterns to memorize. Not to mention a lively sense of humor and polished art style. Recommended for puzzle lovers!
Put simply, the game is excellent all around with fantastic artwork, controls, sound & music.
The only sour grape I have with the game is that it is too easy for me - and likely for most gamers out there. It suits a more patient or casual gamer.
If that sounds like you then it's a perfect game - I highly recommend it.
If you're impatient like me, or you're looking for a challenge (ie: something not trivial) then I would have second thoughts.
Turn-based real-time strategy and puzzle game? Fan!
Using science to defeat enemies? Fun!
Multiple locations to explore? Fen!
Amusing communications between scientists? Fon! (sounds like phone ... okay that one is a bit of a stretch)
Now to end this review. Fin!
If you are not that easily amused go to options and change the language to something you don't understand (go for Japanese for aesthetics). Now that the eyebrow raising attempts at humor are out of the way you are in for the great cerebral ride through the pleasant visuals and novel concepts.
So, first of all: I know that I have barely played this game at all BUT I can say something about the game:
+ Great visuals
+ Great sound
+ Great gameplay
+ It's super fun
+ Eddie Lee is awesome
- (There is basically nothing bad I found.)
Now to the point why I haven't played a lot of this game yet. The thing is, that I want to enjoy the game and not just rush it. Since I have no time at all, playing games can be hard. Really hard but I can guarantee that this game is awesome! Definitely worth a try!
Very fun and relaxing. A great blend of turn based strategy with brief moments of twitchy panic - just enough to keep you moving at a comfortable pace, rather than agonizing over every move. It's pretty unique; a mix of puzzle, action, and strategy. There are a lot of game mechanics being introduced over time, and each one is cool and new and unexpected, and adds more complexity to your decision making!
Nevertheless I've found it very easy so far. I've gotten partway through the second major area (about 2 hours of play), and the only real puzzling I've had to do is to find a couple of the secrets, and I am typically passing up on the majority of health pickups. However, I still have a lot to explore; even of the areas I've completed, I intend to go back to get those secrets I missed, and to try to decrease my time/turns spent (since they show global ranks for those stats).
P.S. so people are calling it a roguelike? I would noooot call this a roguelike. Only resemblance to Rogue is that it's tile based. No procedural generation. No permadeath. No randomization of any kind.
A fun, thought provoking game which allows you to go at a pace you are comfortable with. Opening everyone up to a broad array of possibilities to get out of even the most difficult situations. At times punishing but not frustratingly so.
I would recommend all types of gamers, new and olld, to give it a try. I would like to see more creative games like this which combine gaming elements I have long enjoyed into something which seems original and fun.
This game is really fun. The mechanics are deceptively simple but the interactions between objects are rich and the potential for clever play is very high. Dodging between enemies and tricking them into killing each other is really satisfying. The art/music/levels are very polished and doing simple things like bonking walls feels satisfying. It's kind of relaxing and makes me feel smart at the same time.
I can see why people like this game because there's a lot to like. Very nice style for a 2d game. Clean graphics with great animation. A lot of the puzzles are really innovative and fun.
So why don't I recommend it? For one thing, it's pretty expensive for this type of game. The story is barely there at all. I know plot and characters aren't incredibly important for this type of game but I appreciate caring a bit more about progressing. Finally I would have prefered if the game had just stuck to turn based. The real time portion feels like innovation for its own sake. I think it slows down the game and makes it less fun.
Disclaimer: I'm a personal friend of the developer and I've witness the journey Eddie and his partner Kalin have embarked on to bring this game into fruition. That said...
What becomes immediately apparent from the initial stages is the interconnctedness of real time and turn base strategy that permeates throughout this game. It's a fresh and funky idea that hasn't been thoroughly explored until now. You control the Nova spaceship and transverse through space and time to unlock the mystery and the aftermath of the Great Experiment.
The game plays out in a level by level fashion where you explore a 2D grid and utilize precise and timed movements complete each stage. Each stage adds a new level of complexity that enhances your toolkit as you progress forward.
What I like about the game is that you can play the game in bite size pieces, squeezing in a level when you have a moment but also replay stages to unravel all of the secrets for the completionists out there. Not only that, I really appreciate how this game pays homage to the classics that preceeded it (wouldn't want to spoil anything for the avid gamer).
Unsurprisingly, I'm a huge fan of Nova-111, from the conception of the game, watching it come to life through beta testing and demos and now being able to fully play through it. It's worth the time
