Stellar Overload
Stellar Overload is an adventure game, in a world made of blocks. The playground, completely open, is made up of different cubic planets. While progressing through the science fiction scenario, you will have to explore all these planets, alone or with others…
The playground
Each planet has its specific set of resources. By exploring them, you will unlock access to new technologies. Merx, the small green planet, is the first planet of the game.
Story and important characters
Stellar Overload is a scenarized adventure game where you’ll go on a quest to free the planet Merx from the yoke of the robots.
Some characters, directly related to the main quest, will give you valuable information to help you progress.
Features related to the story and progression:
– Possibility to customize your character
– Dialogues related (or not) to the quests
– Monitor your quest objectives in real-time
– A progression curve related to the quests but also to exploration
– Planets (and enemies) of different levels
Exploration and craft
While progressing through the main quest, exploring the world and the dungeons, you’ll unlock more and more recipes. These recipes will help you get stronger and go further into the adventure.
You will need raw resources to create various objects (tools, weapons, armors…). You can find these resources by different ways: pick them up directly on the planets, find them in chests or get them as quest rewards.
Exploration and craft features:
– A global map of the planets
– A minimap
– A jetpack to travel through the caves more easily
– Possibility to create a vehicle to move faster
– Different craft stations
– Glowblocks will help you enlighten the caves
– Different levels of gauntlet in order to pick up the various blocks of the game
– Teleportation (within a dungeon or between planets)
– Semi procedural dungeons
– Evolving music and soundscape based on the day-night cycle
Combat
To defend yourself against your enemies, you will rely on the creative talents of some important characters in the story, and learn how to create weapons and armors.
The Block-Thrower is an exotic weapon, it can load any of the game’s blocks and throw them at enemies. Depending on the nature of the blocks, damage and effects will be different. Damage aside, if you throw a Glowblock against a cave wall, it will enlighten the cave.
Features related to fighting in this early access version:
– 5 different weapons: the pistol, the rifle, the Block-Thrower, the sonic carbine and the grenades
– 1 armor to greatly reduce damage
– 6 different enemies (Arkuloids, Cognitrons, Legionnaire robots, Plasma turrets, Tesla pylons)
– A boss in the fortress
Construction
Since Stellar Overload is a game made of blocks, the construction (and harvest) is an important aspect of the game.
You can build all types of structures but also vehicles, which will facilitate the exploration of the planets.
A creative mode is available, allowing you to unleash your imagination without worrying about the scenario.
Construction features:
– 6 different shapes of blocks
– Easily place and destroy walls (straight or sloping)
– A tool to “paint” the targeted area with a certain material (adjustable size)
– A tool to save a construction and place it elsewhere (“copy/paste”)
– Possibility to define an alignment grid (to facilitate the placement of shapes)
– Undo / Redo : very useful in creative mode!
– More than 200 different materials
A few numbers in blocks
Merx, the first planet of the game, which is also the smallest, is 1200 blocks long per side, with an area of 1.4 million blocks for each face.
It has a total area of 540,000 m² and is composed of about 2 billion blocks!
For the planet Skahar, the largest, which is 8000 blocks long per side, each face has an area of 64 million blocks. The whole planet has a total of about 500 billion blocks!

以前叫Planets³,2年前KS上众筹的游戏
主打富立方体风格(我也不知道应该叫啥,反正不是low poly)
10月份终于上steam(然而错过steam首发没蹭到优惠哭哭
故事讲述了机械帝国统治了你的星球,你的哥哥一天晚上突然心血来潮,偷了反抗军的装备去螳臂当车理所当然被抓了,于是你踏上了寻找哥哥打败帝国的路。
游戏方式有点类似传送门骑士,一个星球打完去下一个星球,每个星球都是一个正方体,拥有不同的环境特点。
目前来说游戏开发程度只能说一般般
画面能打8/10,主要是各种类型的建筑物品动植物,可以说完成度非常高了,但狂吃配置
游戏性只能打2/10,故事模式是对话、挖洞、打枪模拟器,创造模式就相当于minecaft classic单纯建造而已
合成系统完成度很低,可以合成的东西少,你会制作的主要就是回血道具,而且基本都能搜刮到
这游戏一大问题就是方块太细碎了,你看MC只有2方块身,这里是4*6=24方块身,于是造成几个问题:
1.你为了挖出一个身子的地方要挖太多次了,虽然故事模式初始就让你一次瞬间挖掉2x2,但还是太零碎了。MC里你挖两个就行,尽管要挖1、2秒。总的时间可能差不多,但前者给人更麻烦的感觉(右键可以挖一个平面,但要精细选择顶点,反而更累)
2.你经常会被卡住,于是上下左右来回找是哪个方块卡住你的,而细小零碎的富立方体会让你丢失方向感(有很多边并不与XYZ轴平行),很难一下找出应该挖哪个,不像MC前后左右上下你哪边堵住了就挖哪个
按这类游戏的单个元素评论下可玩性:
冒险:地牢是固定的,大概类似Trove,但貌似没有多少UGC内容,可玩性一般
建造:由于富立方体方块形状很丰富,颜色种类也很多,渲染也不错,比较高
经营:没有管理经营元素
生存:也没有,没有饥饿度设定,虽然有作物但不能种田,掉血完全是因为自己作(摔死,浪死)
不建议现在购买,等等看吧,都说众筹游戏十筹九坑,不知道这个是9还是1
