      Great review!
      Since you volunteered this is your first review, I will give some unsolicited feedback. I've played the game a decent amount so was glad to see a review!
      Very well written and spoken but too verbose. A bit of information overload already by the 3-4 min. Feels a bit closer to a game rant than review!
      Needs some spacing to help digest the info!
      Good luck !

      I usually change a lot of sounds in the games I play, but I couldn't bring myself to swap neither the sound files nor the sprites in this because it is so beautifully done that it feels like giving all that hard work and its pristine result a massive middle finger

    I prefer a high speed, low drag approach centered around two heavy interceptors and an attack cruiser. The interceptors are my own design and date back to a version that let you squeeze a little more functionality into a little less tonnage due to building shenanigans. They are lost tech, essentially. Faster than the Lightning with twice the fire power. The cruiser is always different, though built around the same purpose: To smash Strike Groups head on. I set the main fleet on the most fuel efficient course while the interceptors (with their attendant fast tankers/sensor carriers) overwhelm garrisons, claim prize ships, and contact Tarkhans. Strike Groups are targets of opportunity for the main fleet, preferably softened up with bombers and cruise missiles. To this end ships joining the fleet deemed inefficient for combat are converted to plane and missile carriers whenever possible. When armor piercing ammunition is available for the interceptors they can also become very dangerous to larger ships. When you pay attention to where the bridge is located, you can sometimes knock enemies out in a single volley. The Sevastopol is an excellent backstop to a good cruiser, able to deal the final blow to a weakened Strike Group while suffering little damage itself.

    This game will be reviewed by many after 20 years after its release as a gem which was found by a few lucky finders. Personally i have discovered this title because of article no. 5 meme and from the start I was sucked in by it's depressing atmosphere and absolutely fantastic design. Forget about all the silent hills, resident evil and other horror games. *THERMAL SIGNATURE DETECTED* is a thing which you should be scared of.

    I wouldn't call this Dieselpunk, as that's an aesthetic from WWI to WWII. I would call this Sovietpunk. In fairness though, there isn't a lot of 'punk' to it. This isn't a 'punk' dystopian post-Soviet hellscape. This is just Kazakhstan if the magnetic poles reversed.

      @@Pavlik86 Oh, its Soviet military hardware from nomenclature to ergonomics. That RWR is ripped right out of a late 70's cockpit. You are correct in the Tsarist influence being heavy among the men themselves. Its sort of a return to the prior forms with the artifacts of a pre-collapse industrial time.

      @@NikovK During the Empire’s time, phones already existed, but they looked too elegant for this setting. Apparently, that’s why they depicted more modern technologies, which are associated with the Soviet era by foreigners. But otherwise, the game’s aesthetics mainly relies on the pre-revolutionary Russia.
      There is an old Russian film from 1970 called “White Sun of the Desert”. The author was clearly inspired by it when creating the setting for the game. You might want to check it out if you like the aesthetics of Highfleet. Just google it, the movie’s shots speak for themselves.

      Well, it's for people looking for immersion. That's what the video is about. And immersion demands a certain degree of realism - not breaking functions down into overlays and summaries. If you're looking for immersion in a game that's incredibly simplified, that's going to be a long search.
