What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“This game is early access to allow players to help test for bugs, identify problem areas, and get funding to provide a more complete, polished, and bug-free final release than would otherwise be possible.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“CDF Ghostship is expected to be in early access for 8 months with the full game released in Summer 2015”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“Early Access will begin with a single game mode where you fight an onslaught of enemies. Additional challenges and simulations as well as 2 different storylines will be added in regular updates throughout Early Access. The final version will contain the 2 storylines, challenges and simulations, and achievements and trading cards. We are also hoping to include multiplayer as well but it depends on how much money we get in Early Access whether or not we can afford to add it.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“We have 2 game modes ready and working great. Story mode is the biggest challenge and we are working on NPC and polish before unlocking the full story mode in updates over the next few months. We currently have a very solid beta of some of the game modes which offers hours and hours of fun.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“In order to reward players for putting faith in us and taking a chance on the game we will begin at 50% of the final price and raise it as features are added and the game becomes more complete, with full price being charged when the full version is released. Since several people paid more than this for the game prior to it being on Steam Early Access, those people will receive the first DLC for no additional cost.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We want to provide the highest quality game possible and ask that the community please report bugs, provide game-play and feature suggestions, and generally let us know what they think of the game so we know what things are working great and what things still need work as we progress towards the full version. Multiplayer involvement from the community with feedback and suggestions will help shape multiplayer mode and co-op into something very special.”

About This Game

ABOUT THIS GAME

Over 350 years in the future mankind has embraced space travel and exploration. We have colonized many worlds and spread ourselves across the galaxy. The Colonial Defense Force (CDF) is responsible for the security of Earth and her colonies, and our only line of defense against the unknown.

On March 1st 2368 contact was lost with our most distant colony, located in the Icarus system. Two days later the Dreadnought class spaceship CDF Goliath was dispatched to investigate. Experience the events that transpire as a Marine on the boarding party to the Icarus 3 Space Station and as a pilot returning from another mission a few days later.

Discover what happened to the CDF Goliath and why nine days after entering the Icarus system it was finally declared a Ghostship.

Features

Story Mode

Play from the viewpoint of 2 different characters in an open world with random events and enemies, and a huge focus on atmosphere and immersion.

Skirmish Mode

You are one of the last survivors! With just 1 life, escape the ship if you can!

Onslaught Mode

A wave based survival mode where you must kill as many enemies as you can. There are 8 different onslaught maps which are based on locations from the story mode.

Challenge Mode

Offers a variety of diverse challenges which will test your combat ability, agility, and problem solving skills. There are 8 different challenge maps which are based on locations from the story mode.

Simulation Mode

Consists of a wide variety of single missions based on historic CDF battles and simulations created for the Marines on the Goliath to hone their skills.

Multiplayer & Co-op

We are planning to add multiplayer and coop game modes if there are enough funds to support it. The more friends you get to buy CDF Ghostship, the more likely it is you'll get to play it with them.

*****WARNING: THIS GAME CONTAINS FLASHING LIGHTS & LOTS OF BLOOD n` GUTS! ******

Early Access Review
The game is all other reviewers say and 1.15 is even better.I laugh when I see people suggesting 'improvements' to atmosphere and 'tips' on making CDF Ghostship better. As by doing so you finish up with Ghostship Aftermath which they have obviously never played.A bit like Aftermaths critics really?That was certainly not a game for the "too hard" brigade.Maybe this one will hit the spot?

At the time of this video this game is still in 'Early Access'
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZA9mvzfwF40
CDF Ghostship is a series of horde mode style FPS challenges and adventures. A lot of the content is still being worked on and I was advised by the developers to try out the 'Onslaught' and 'Challenge' modes.
- Enjoy this non-biased look at the game!

Early Access Review
EDIT
I just cant bring myself to recommend this game. There is very little work gone into it and has all the bad things a game like this should avoid!

No Atmosphere
Terrible Music and sound
Terrible graphics
Almost unplayable controls
Stupidly easy AI
Collision issues with everything!
Weapons are terrible



This is based on the dire 1.2 update, and based on the lack and poor quality of content this game is likely to be the same when its finished I am afraid!

Early Access Review
It plays like an old school shooter and was so fun I played for hours. There's not much of the story mode yet, that part is more like a tech demo for the random events and enemies, but the Onslaught and Challenge game modes are well developed and very fun. These youtube videos really showcase the different sections of the game.

If you enjoy exploding aliens, and testing your skills at various challenges then go for it. If you're in it for the story either invest in it now at a lower price and wait (the price will go up as more content is added), or wait until later when more story is added and get it at a higher price.

If you're worried about whether the game will be finished or not don't be. This developer already has a game released on Steam (Ghostship Aftermath) and is providing great support for it and will do the same for this one.

Exploded an alien with a plasma rifle, would explode again. - 10/10

Early Access Review
I think this game shows promise, but it could use some improvements in a few areas like:

Don't show the aliens right away, just start with the zombies, also have the PA system say "unknown life-forms detected" instead of "alien life-forms detected".

Don't have enemies show up so early, a sense of isolation will ramp up the tension, maybe have a strange noise here, a moving shadow there. it is a ghost ship after all.

Have the console interfaces match the consoles you click on.

And lastly a built in flashlight and manual save feature would be nice.

As I said this game could be something great, And I am very excited!

Early Access Review
>>>>Early Access Day One Release Review<<<<

CDF Ghostship, from the creators at MAG Studios, is a fantastically fun and addictive FPS run and gun game. In it's Early Access Build it has several modes available to play, most of which are challanging, calculative and heaps of fun.

If you want to blow aliens apart with a variety of weaponary then this is the game for you!

*Edit 1* Here is a video showing off what has been achieved so far:
