Volcanoids

Some people dislike the single player experience. I have no friends. As a lonely man in a lonely time, I play alone, and enjoy it.

So far, this game has been a lot of fun! There's something about setting up a mobile base armed to the teeth with guns, while also sending out mining drones that just hits the spots.

Wish I could build my own tanks/bots though to send out against the onslaught that comes for me.

Great little game!
Gameplay loop is short, yet satisfying and relatively good, multiplayer is stable, and the amount of refined crafting and automation available is actually kinda impressive. You can tell they are crafters at heart.
It has real potential but its been in EA for 6 years and it still needs a lot of love.
It needs a texture overhaul real bad... its got Oblivion level graphics from a 2016 engine.
It needs to expand the playable area, add some enemy variety (even if it was different movesets per refinement, production, etc...), make windows NOT a module, and allow the end game to include the ability to own more than 1 drill. (You get to the end of upgrades an thats kind of it. We need motivation to keep playing).
Got it on sale for 13$usd. That is the right price point for the amount of content currently.
It retails for 20. By that ratio, they need to up the content by 65% and it will be perfect for its pricepoint.

comlicated, difficult, but pretty fun! also, please give me the rolling cog vehichle thing its so cool i need it please i need it

One of the only games on the market that does base building on a mobile base well. I can tell this game is a passion project for it's devs.

Can't wait for when the big new island drops!

Weapons have a pretty good feel to it which surprised me in a positive way!
Most weapons have multiple ammo types and they differ from each other in ways, that allows for multiple playstyles and personal preferense.
It is also pretty fun to customise your drillship and the enemies are interesting.
And in runs on Linux :3
All in all, for that price point, definitively recommend!

This game is a hard one to actually review and I will try to be open and honest.

Graphics - At times a rather comical affair but then at the same time, nicely made. Not exactly pushing the boat out but gets the job done.
Gameplay - On Easy = ok ...normal = hard ....hard = WTF. Without providing spoilers, the latter stages due to game mechanics means that on normal and hard the final "key" to the last area is a damn pain in the arse and should be made more reliable and not so....temperamental.
Mechanics - standard. Nothing overly impressive but then nothing that makes me say "eeeek".
Longevity - medium. Now I have finally completed it, to me it's a job done, tick, the end. It's a closed story which, to be fair, is kind of stupid as once you have finished then you either restart or just quit. This game had a permenant quality to it but they decided to close loop it. Better for the story but kills the game off.

I would say its a 5/10 to be fair. It has a nice niche feel to it, but it has a short life, little replay and the gameplay is a little monotonous and is frankly just graded to 3 levels of actual difficulty. The mission guidance is average at best which kind of hampers progress because at time you can be looking around for what to do next instead of a clear path of progression which the game requires. 160 hours of play and frankly I'm...meh. Buy it cheap but, frankly, only buy for cheap thrills....like a cheap hooker on pay day, you can have some fun but it's brief and you might regret it later but it scratches an itch (try to avoid the itching ;) )
