Splatty is so polite and upbeat, even when he's essentially saying "this game is very broken and might never be completed."
I'm about 1/4 into the video when I realized that that's what he's saying so I quit to save myself from further disappointment.
Just refunded this because it's exactly as how he says. Sucks because I wanted it to be great.
I wouldn't say this game is very broken, I've played it for many hours and had tons of fun with it... unfortunately the developers only release an update once per year.
It's definitely got potential, but at this point it's not very playable. Starsector is still the best choice for the experience this game is trying to offer, imho.
where do u get that its broken (as in non-playable) and wont complete?
Best game reviewer hands down my favorite. I’ve found a lot of cool games through your channel. Thanks Splat
Yeah, him and Sseth are responsible for like 75% of my gaming library.
@@HughMansonMD Yeah its more like an honest indie review of games you which under your radar kinda thing.
It was fun watching you play this on twitch. 30 minutes here on RUclips doesn't do it justice.
I remember this game! I played it in middle school about 8 years ago! It hasn't changed
Just the kind of content I've been looking for, entertaining and easy to grasp demo's of quality indie games to spend my Steam bucks on this holiday season. Subscribed to this gold mine. Cheers!
I've been wanting to have a game like Starsector but with boarding action and hijacking ships. This looks promising.
X3 albion prelude if you haven't already
You'll love this game, I was looking for the same and I still play WTF. Just wish the devs would release updates more frequently. What make this stand out is that you can board hostile ships and take them... don't know why more devs don't do this in space games, it's always fun.
Save Our Ship 2 does that! But nothing quite beats Star Sector, and WTF is pretty good too!
Stellar Tactics is worth a try then. Single Dev and its Xcom meets Eve online. Impressive for Indie. Star Sector is also deffo worth a play.
@@BrandanLee ...That's a rimworld mod...
After watching your Starsector vid I purchased it and I'm thoroughly digging it. Seeing this one, all the negatives turn me off but it does have a few cool features SS does not have. Unfortunately, it seems like while there are a fair number of these top-down starship games no one seems to get *everything* right. I just wish someone would give us the entire kitchen sink in an open universe space opera crawl.
Yeah, i own both games and SS is (to date) much much better. I like both, but WF needs a lot more polish and dedication. Updates are super slow for WF. :/
Are you winning? I like Star Sector too but I always get beat up as soon as I start to make some money, which does take away from my enjoyment.
you could give a try to Approaching Infinity too, it's great
It makes extreme difference how you handle it, like you wouldn't experience it in 999 out of a thousand games. That is one of the reasons why SS is awesome.
Little details like pacing yourself.
For example, depending on your activity and state, it is crucial not to include a slow ship into your faster fleet however tempting or awesome it might seem.
Similar examples apply to it's economic landscape, you can find out the details on it's wiki page, for example tech mining on high grade ruins will flood you with trouble unless you are prepared. But mostly it is really very intuitive.
The most effective route, in my experience, is to start with collecting the best burn 9 or faster ships, while doing bounties and exploring for suitable planet to get your first colony as soon as possible for storage of ships, weapons and for cheap and stable source of supplies, fuel and crew.
I usually have the first colony within one hour without hurry. Once I have it I start hoarding everything into it while I maintain my active fleet at burn 9. You can evolve your burn 9 fleet to quite the powerhouse and you can amass any number of heavier ships before you progress further otherwise, not that you should, but you can until you get your grip on it.
Exploration is very impactful and it can be paired with bounty hunting which pays well and generates battle experience. They synergize if you do it well.
Safer simpler route is viable, exchanging the bounty hunting with exploration.
Once I'm done collecting and exploring in the vicinity of bounty zones I usually have found and created several colonies, left mostly undeveloped, have invested 1-4 million into weapons and ships(I start buying weapons in the markets from the first second).
At that point I have a functional secondary heavier fleet if I need it, but still the main active fleet is on burn 9 and setting it's sight on the deep exploration, searching for the ideal colony system, nano forges, other impactful items.
I usually leave orbital habitats and definitely leave mining stations untouched until I switch to burn 8, because they have the possibility of having a lot more loot compared to your storage space.
This is just a tangled summary of the start, to be successful you have to be attentive and you have to do the right things, like collecting weapons instead of selling them, spending hours in the simulator refitting your ships, deciding on fleet compositions, getting to know what ships and weapons fit where exactly, because all of them are decent at worst, at some point, but at any given time some of them are objectively and impactfully better than others.
Some of the most awesome things happen in the simulator, like realizing that switching out the objectively better weapon for something special will perform better when you will fight a certain opponent, or even leaving some weapon slots empty can yield better results, on the atlas it's straight recommended to underfit weapon wise.
Considering the amount of high quality mods it's endless, how great and awesome SS is.
@@d3vastat0r89 How big is your fleet when you hit the wall? From my experience over the last 7 years with SS, all you need is to hang around a few big pirate raid events at the start and you can pick up all the money/salvage you need to build a half decent fleet where you start to snow ball.
20:13 - The repair gun doesn't reach the edge of the screen to encourage the player to design ships with hallways to allow you to reach all of the ship components. I agree that the range could be a little bit longer though.
That big ship at the start is indeed a bug. It is one of the tutorial ships that teaches you about stuff, but has a design that actually makes it undockable without altering it. This game is awesome, but the story needs a lot of work. The gameplay and mechanics and shipdesigning is great, it just needs goals for you as a player.
The goal isn't making your own huge original fleet?
🤔
@@seanwarren9357 Not really. It gives you incredible freedom in designing ships(the best in any game so far), but friendly helper ai is kinda non existant atm except for crewmates who can man turrets and help repair inside your ship. Right now it's a great sandbox game with loads of ship layouts to capture and weapons and systems to find and research. The story part has been largely untouched and the universe feels a bit boring. Still worth playing though.
@@Eener1000 Yeah, I was kinda joking there. The creative building is the big draw though, which was all o was getting at. That said, I haven't gotten far and I hadn't considered the lack of crew captains for fleet ai ops... That would be one step that would go a long way to growing this games sales.
Not a bug, but it is a ship you are not really supposed to have. But, if you manage to get that ship to your base, you unlock the blueprint and can build it normally. You then need to alter the ship to have an airlock, once you unlock the part.
Wow! I supported this on Kickstarter many years ago. I thought it was dead :D So happily surprised to see it's still going!
It's state is closer to coma. Not dead and yet can't be counted as living.
Slow updates, but fun
I would recommend joining the discord, it's very active.
Give this one another 20 years and it will be a fine game^^
Will still be done before Star Citizen. rofl
@@mychaeldark1007 Like every other game in the next 20 years, lul.
what is this, Star Citizen? :P
I love how the voxel building system influences combat. As slow as development may go, there's a lot of good already as you've shown.
I love how splat always has like a theme for a couple of weeks. Sometimes it is one grimdark rpg style game after the other. Nowadays it seems to be space games :) Love the content. Made me buy a few games already. Gj Splat
Just got this game after watching this. played it for 2.3 hours. I think I might get addicted. Haven't seen many bugs yet we will see.
One of my favorite games, wish they would work on it more often.
Woww! Thx for the vid on this, my brother would LOVE a space pirate game that has that XCOM feel to it. Going to forward it to him! ❤️
One of the most interesting thing about this game is that you can cut a ship in half, and both halves are independent environments that can contain crew and operate thrusters and guns and stuff.
It's just so damn cool.
It's true, you can recover from some pretty catastrophic damage in this game. I believe the chunk that has the cockpit is the chunk that is still able to be repaired back to a full ship, so it's not like you can split a ship and repair it into 2 but there's definitely a lot of amazing dynamic scenarios happen in the game.
Omg I watched a gameplay review of this game a while back but lost the video and the name of it. Thanks man!
You have the best reviews, neutral, on point, consistent/reliable.
Thank you, Splat, for a good analysis and fair critique of this game. I'd be tempted to buy it, but $30 seems a little steep for something this rough. I will keep my eye on it and hope that updates come more frequently. I'll be sad if the devs end up abandoning it, but these things happen sometimes with indie games. I'll just have to wait and see, I guess.
I have around 350 hours into the game and have been following it since the original WTF back when it had a different art style. The ship building in this game is really quite amazing. The game is certainly not finished, but it is actually a lot of fun to mess around in and you can really make some pretty amazing builds by playing with the ship building. $30 is a decent chunk to ask for, but the small team is still slowly working on the title and I've found a fair amount of fun in jumping back in now and then and checking out what's there.
@googleisorwellian this game has a lot of development in it that is much different than starsector. Its a tiny dev team so the only similarity is they are both top down space games but they are pretty different. Its a ton of custom code so not like its a little cell phone game where the idea is the hardest part.
Thank you Splat, great video
Every time I hear "where it's going or where it's coming from" I always always always think "it's cotton eye Joe"... Every single time. And now you too will share my pain.
I spent my morning watching some of your latest videos, and when I started watching the Starsector video, I thought to myself "I wonder what ever happened to WTF?". Turns out you were in the process of uploading the answer to my question lol
merry Christmas Splat!!!
I remember playing a version of this game a long time ago. Completely lost the game, and when trying to find it, it always ended up showing me starsector, which I never played until earlier this year. A combo of this and Starsector would be awesome.
Thabks splat, gd find, will support
Thanks for another game to add to my wishlist and track.
This one deserves a lot more attention. its incredible.
Sounds like it will be good down the line, and has a lot of potential. If it takes over 10 hours to unlock the RPG elements... I'll disagree with incredible.
Why are you so happy with this title?
Please explain?
@@rareraven I think for the most part its due to the ability to actually run around in the ships, do manual repairs, fight and whatnot. Not many games offer that, especially not with so much detail.
Running through your ship to do some emergency repairs while you see enemy fire chewing through your armor is pretty intense. You may even end up getting thrown into space when a hullbreach happens close to you. If you're lucky you're wearing an EVA suit and might be able to get back onboard before worse things happen.
At the same time, knowing the layout of enemy ships allows you to aim for weakpoints and cripple or board them more easily. There is a lot of depth there.
Things like the limited range of the repair gun are an important factor, as you'll have to include service tunnels in your ships to allow for manual repairs... or have repair drones instead.
Yes there are some bugs and yes the price is a bit too high. Most of those bugs are related to some recent and rather massive changes, the core mechanics however work pretty well.
This looks a lot like a game I was thinking about . Like it would be visually very similar , only in the one I was planning out you'd pick game winning conditions for each playthrough like become a quadrillionaire, become leader of the federation, destroy the federation , free all slaves, make peace with everyone etc... the more conditions you pick the harder the game would be . picking them all would be a tricky scenario :)
This one looks fun
if you ever get it going, don't forget to link it for the rest of us to try it out.
Best game intro ever. Fits every category under the sun 😂
Looks like a really interesting game. Slow development does not sound good, but then... my masterpiece space sim has been in development for a decade, on and off. You know what is like, real world demands like a need to earn and eat often get in the way of part-time/hobby dev work. They at least have a playable game by the looks good. A story as well, if the humour is as good as you say, the story maybe just as good. I'm seriously tempted on this one.
0:48 - "Hello, Starsector here, we'd like our ship designs back."
Played his a few years ago - glad to see it's still being developed at least!
Dude, picked this up around Thanksgiving. Only hopped in for a little bit, but this title is sweet.
Just dropping a comment to give my appreciation for the proper use of "comprised" (instead of using it like "composed").
Nice stuff!
Hey Splatty!
If you want a blueprint of non damaged ship just... repair the ship first before turning it into a blueprint! You can do it in the same "shipyard"(I mean in your base) when an option window pop up.
Oh, you can also invade an enemy ship with blow off docking ports (just wear a suit with O2 and sufficent amount of propellant) directly from space and using keyboard key (presumably "f")
Plenty of other possibilities!
I will mention for things like the limited range of the nanite gun is intentional, its intentionally very limited as its an emergency measure, and it encourages good placement of corridors to reach enough vital systems that you can always at least limp away.
Reminds me a LOT of Heat Signature, which is a GREAT game.
which is also a very grindy and repetitive game
Thank you for reviewing my favorite game. It surely needed some exposure. It is sad to see it dying because it isn't earning any money for the devs and they are not investing enough time into it.
Whenever someone is creating a Sci-Fi space game with customizable ships, they should play Avorion, before starting the crafting portion (Avorion crafting could have been the staple for ship crafting, but a few things truly suck).
go watch ship build in this game, it is 2d avorion
I don't dig the lego build concept for space games, I just wanna merk pirates not fuck around tuning individual blocks of my ship for 10 hours.
@@eXpriest the standard layouts of the ships you get are perfectly usable. If you don't want to, you never have to muck around redesigning anything. But most of the fun in this game atm is shipdesign since story and the universe itself are kinda underdeveloped atm. Not that the rest is bad, the designing mechanic is really really good. If you like factorio then you will like designing ships.
Wow, I remember kickstarting this years ago and it kinda dropped off my radar. Don't really mind the lengthy development time, I just hope it eventually is completed and doesn't end up in the early access graveyard like a lot of others.
The ability to send over a prize crew and have a defeated ship towed or repaired just enough to get it back to your base would be great. Back at base you could fully repair and upgrade it for your own use or to be sold, or just completely scrap it down for all the resources.
You can actually do that In this game.
@@hex2redonealpha102 how?
@@factswithchris You can board the enemy ship with one of your crew, then ask him to follow you to your base.
One year later and the devs still develop this game.
Its a three man team, not that it should excuse every thing, but I really like the game, and im surprised they stuck with it for more than 7 years at this point.
I played it 7 years ago, and let me tell you, they came a Long way since then, lol.
Im a sucker for space games, and this one itches some scratches 👍🏻
Every time He Said "wtf" - my brain had a hard time to fill in the right words...
Good video for me!
I actually expected Splat to sing some Carry on Wayward son in this episode
wow looks really cool
£20 for a bug ridden game where the devs seem to have the sense that they have finished and polished the game that ARE guaranteed to spoil your immersion
It is sadly, great concept shit execution
I BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS GAME FOR FOREVER!!!
I really liked it but last time I played it it was unfinished, but I managed to get practically the most massivest ship in the game. I think. And it was hell to run coz I'm only 1 guy but it's too big lmao
I find out about the most interesting Indi games on your channel. I wish you would do a video on the number one indie titles to watch or to play this year.
The game, definitely forgot to implement a few things, to be able to claim highly open world…
Not bad, not groundbreaking, but I can see another company taking this concept one step further and making it great.
Meeeeeeeehhhhhh starsector ripoff
@@accelerator7952 I wouldn't compare this to starsector, the only similarities are the space setting, 2d graphics and the "mount and balde in space" gameplay. Both games have very different gameplay focus otherwise.
@@accelerator7952 also both games started development at the same time. Both develop forever stew. Starsector is more polished, but this game has really cool battle damage and boarding action.
also heat signature
I love cutting ships apart in this game. No game has destruction like this. And you can board others.
I love the fire extinguisher style of repairing your ship, and the ability to customise your interior. Also the fact that you can navigate that interior. But the bugs and the rate of updates sounds very off putting alongside the system of levelling up, sounding to be very one tracked. Maybe in time this might be fixed. And then this could become an amazing game.
Compared to Starsector, which is literally half the price, and much further along in development. I'll wait a while on this one. I did wishlist it so I can keep an eye out. As always, thanks for the honest, comprehensive review.
I saw wayward i was expecting wayward xD
Btw in that game you can a pirate... But in real meaning - literally cruise with a neutral ship on a same speed, then eject yourself through dock and "sneak" into that ship) But you need to find before that some decent weapon and a space suit as well)) So if you want a huge high-tire space craft, just construct a smallest, but fastest, fighter and went steal those scambags shops what you're need more, then them))
I think I'll wish list this one for now and check in on it in a couple years.
this game is genius, and a lot of fun
This looks very familiar... Landinar protects!
Dude, as a new youtuber, you good sir have found a Niche and absolutely dominated it. All your knowledge and funny banter is par none. I appreciate your efforts and enjoy watching your content. Thank you!!
New compared to? He's been doing this gig since he joined YT in 2012. If you mean new to you then that makes sense. :D
@@Revenant483 yes. I am the new RUclipsr. Weird way to Word that sentence I suppose. He is an inspiration. Was all I was trying to say. 🙏🙏
@@Dr.Bailey88 Oh sorry, I totally misunderstood. :P Now re-reading that statement, I understand your thoughts.
Your repair gun has limited range because it is meant for emergency repair. If you want more complete repairs, use drones if you got the grey goo.
Equip the nanite aura to use it.
Think distances are too long? Research to the end of T2 for the travel technology.
You are not really supposed to have the tutorial ship, but you can get the blueprint if you manage to get it back to base. After that, you need to put an airlock on it to use it.
I disagree about the goo gun being able to fire whenever you want. The currenc mechanics nicely pushes you towards building and designing ships that have maintenance corridors. otherwise you wouldnt need any of them. So imho, it's range should be even lower.
Yep, I have a carrier that is so big, it'll take you minutes to go end to end (please for fucks safe devs, give us trains inside really massive ships like what you did to space stations) I find it more economical to just have 2 repair drones do all the work
Right, so the idea would be that there wouldn't be any places in existing ship designs you couldn't hit with the current gun's range.
Woa, looks like they've done a lot of updates to WTF since I last played it
Yeah - pretty much agree with Splat. I got this game about 2 years ago and thought "I don't really understand what I am expected to do... but it seems COOL AS!!!"
Kept meaning to go back to it and see if I was doing it wrong. Doesn't seem like I am missing much. Oh well.
The way you repair a ship completely is by taking it to a repair station or home base, or you can use the repair drone bay ship component.
I wonder if the devs would consider selling this game's code base 'as-is' to another dev team and letting them finish it. More of that should happen in the industry, imho. Some teams are great with concept and prototype, others are great at seeing things through to completion. Personally, I love the destruction tech, the ability to dock and run around on board, and the 'feel' of flying. I'd say that's tech worth buying and finishing out.
Merry Christmas
The tutorial ship has no airlock so the only way to get on is to spacewalk close enough for a prompt to appear that lets you board it, but due to having no airlock you can't dock it to anything to restock, repair or recycle it.
I've had this game for a while..I try to get nanite aura so i can repair my ship just by being near..also good repair tools and a must have minigun not to mention a eva suit that for always comes in handy. If you can mod your ship then you might want to remove any extra crew quarters and replace them with something you think will be usefull.
This game is almost great!
Looks cool.
Man, this is exactly the type of game I'd play. Sadly I cannot get into that crazy zoomed out view. I could not get used to that, it's like watching a dot running around on a ship.
looks cool
There should be companies that specialize in (ethically) picking up all the good ideas and atmospheres that some tiny indies produce and pour the kind of structure and manpower into them to make them whole, finished games. As it stands, there doesn't seem to be much between the idea (and happenstance) stage, and the production stage, which there really needs to be. Having a good idea or stumbling on something that _really_ works, doesn't necessarily have that much to do with realizing its potential. It kinda hurts a little when I think of all the games that have something really cool about them but will sort of just fade away along with the indie mass that deserves to just fade away (which, let's be honest is the vast majority).
Imagine for example if this had happened to a game like say, Minecraft. Maybe a poor example since Minecraft even at its core was pretty undeniable I guess, but you get what I'm saying. It would be a legit tragedy for gaming.
"ΔV: Rings of Saturn" was on Splat's skillet just the other day and is a good example I think. It was first released as early access in 2019 and I just picked it up for 5 bucks (which is what I paid for Minecraft, a game I still play). It's still undercooked in a pretty big way, but it has this golden nugget in its core gameplay that's good enough for me to be excited about having a go at it 3 days in a row now. If it had the insight and manpower where that golden nugget could provide the basis for rapid expansion and streamlining, it could be a great game. Instead, I'm worried that it will never be fully redeemed.
Game looks great at a superficial glance and I can certainly see the potential here! But I can also see how it is a difficult recommendation compared to, for example, Starsector. By comparison, Starsector is highly polished, packed with features and almost half the price.
Is this out yet love it and the music dude wow very StarCraft 2
Another one of these games that was great when I discovered it a few years ago but that seems to have slowed down massively in terms of updates and development. Maybe the dev pushes this game to 1.0 soon. Right now it's somewhere in between unfinished and decently playable. All the parts are there but there's little connection between them.
This game is so fun
Sundog-like that looks decent = instant buy if only to support the genre
this game reminds me of...damn, i forgot what it was called. but basically you also were in the interior of ships and you had to fulfill special missions - be it assasinate someone, kidnap someone, kill everyone or just bring the ship somewhere. and you also had this slow motion/pause and thus instant reaction thing going on, so you very much can just masacre everyone with ease and dodge bullets as they fly towards you etc.
Heat Signature?
you can use your airlock dock to drag a ship home. At least it was possible for some time
it looks really fun, and luckily its on sale rn
15:02 The graphics and mechanics rather reminds of Sunless Sea but in space.
the way you described the story about not worrying about getting killed sounds similar to everspace 1.
Missing a ton of features, might never be complete, but there's a spark of greatness here. It just needs work and polish.
This game look like heat signature
"So we leave and use our SPACE LEGS to walk in the station" xD
Yeah even the first ship you get has significant power bottlenecks. You can clone the design and then fix the wiring so you get a good weapon rate-of-fire increase for no cost. So the ship editing is useful even before you research your first ship component. You don't have to be looking to create your own ship designs. You can tweak the vanilla ones. Not doing anything is just nerfing yourself though.
I highly recommend you guys go watch the vod on twitch too watch how this story unfolded and developed. It is some of the funniest and story-packed content I've ever seen.
looks intersting - i had look at two other games but SS dont have interiors and the other one looks okay but this one looks great unsure what custom ship designs like you could add rooms and such
Funny, I was just thinking how cool it would be to tow the enemy ship back and salvage and/or repair it to use for yourself. ^_^ (Than I unpaused it and you just mentioned there's no towing. XO)
I think you're I think there's a game out there that you would really like
And you should show to this community which is
ultimate admiral dreadnought
Ohhhhh my god this is GTA2 space rpg..... Where do i need to throw my money at broseph?
If the out of ship combat was somewhat like Alien Swarm : Reactive Drop (2017 sequel to Alien Swarm)
This look awesome! I wonder how it's currently doing? :)
....and don't forget to WOOOooooooooooo!!!
oh my lawd havent seen this game in years
Hoping for more stream of this
this game has so much potential. looks amazing. decent in depth mechanics. (would like a tow or scrap or ship claim mechanic but would live without. its sad that developement is so slow. i would love to play this but the bug potential and slow updates make it not worth it at all
Seems the devs are working on 2 projects. This single player game and an alternate multiplayer variant but they had to rebuild the engine to make the multiplayer variant work so development has been slower. Note the multiplayer one is still in development and hasn't been released.
One of the comments from the Dev CEO was that EVA was apparently a coding nightmare that they barely managed to get work for single player. Multiplayer + EVAing gave him legit nightmares considering so he opt'd to just not bother in WTF, lol.
Splatty NOooo!, don't show me this!, I'm just now trying (poorly!) to learn Star Sector!, I can't handle this too!
