Megaton Rainfall

The story and missions are the weakest point of the game, but the space exploration side makes up for it. Honestly, they should have just made the whole game about saving other planets that you have to travel to from the Intruders.

This is the closet game of being Superman .If they were to remake this game with the graphics they got today this would problay nbe the best super hero game on the market.

what an incredible game! this needs either a sequel or a hell of a lot more funding to make it better! being able to travel planet to planet, solar system to solar system, galaxy to galaxy is not only insanely impressive but to me sets a new standard for space travel games. so damn good!

game is pretty good but in the vr version you cant do free mode and you cant destroy planets. so i mainly play on pc. vr version is still fun but the game gets no updates. I i would give the game a 8.5/10

Very fun concept. Final boss really brings back that early 2000s boss vibe. But it's probably not worth 16$ when you can clear everything in 2-3 hours and the free play doesn't have a lot to offer besides blowing up procedurally generated buildings on earth, or visiting an infinite number of procedural barren planets that you can't destroy. The game becomes increasingly unstable the more stuff you destroy/gets deployed on earth, resulting in large chunks not rendering. Overall decent game but could go next level with some improvements to city generation, planet busting abilities besides earth, something to do with the infinite galaxies, stars, and planets, and offering an ending story mode in which you actually follow through with the end game message.

I played Megaton Rainfall a while ago, when the game was exposed by Nerdcubed (check out their channel), and the game left an impression on me.
And a few years later, I've come back, and I'm ready to review.
This game captures something that I wasn't expecting from a Superhero game: existential horror. The game directly tells you that there is nothing in the universe except for Earth, and then goes and gives you the tools to go see for yourself. Flying though a solar system, a galaxy and even between galaxies, there's this pit of terror that...well there's nothing. It's all meaningless, except for Earth. And the only thing stopping Earth from being destroyed...is you. It's a perfect premise for a game about saving the world, and not worrying about the fact planets are procedural.
But what about the moment to moment gameplay?
Well, I enjoy it! This game is about making you feel so powerful that you can be reckless, and you'll need to hit shots precisely or you'll be killing more civilians than the intruders with fantastic feeling destruction. That being said, combat can feel clunky and like you're sitting and waiting, rather than fighting. It would be nice to see some more dynamic combat than "hit red/yellow".
And then the intruders run, so you chase after them, ascending among the atmosphere, and the music *hits*.
I'm someone that is very emotionally feeling when it comes to music, and the music in this game elevates it. There beautiful sections between combat, or in certain missions, or at the end of missions, and they just hit different in this game.
Flying over the Earth, mentally preparing for the next fight, it's something I've not really experienced in many other games.
It does everything it can to solidify this idea that you are the only hope for humanity, so get ready.
The story itself, like others have said, is weird, and coming back I still don't feel like I have a full grasp on aspects. I haven't found extras hidden among the galaxy, so perhaps there is some clarification there. Needless to say, this is a story that has some interpretation about what it means, which also feels very suited to this game's ideas of existentialism.
Overall, this experience is 100% worth your time, even if that time is very short (the game is quite small just going through the main campaign). Perhaps based on that, you could wait for a deal, but I think this game is still worth the asking price.

this game hides from you the simple fact that you can actually fly anywhere in the universe, and i mean that literally. you can fly away from the planet and fly to Alpha Centauri, or even to Sagittarius A*: the black hole in the middle of our galaxy. if that isn't good enough for you, you can just leave the galaxy. all kinds of celestial bodies are modeled, even the occasional brown dwarf if i recall correctly. be careful not to get lost in the intergalactic void, though.
